If you lead a particularly busy life, you know that the simplest things bring the greatest amount of joy. Clearing the kitchen counter by the end of the week feels akin to winning a gold medal. Getting laundry folded and put away in the same day deserves a million high fives. Finally filing the paperwork on your… Continue reading 8 Effective Ways To Organize Your Home Office Space For Maximum Productivity
Lately I have been loving on vintage indigo textiles. Why might you ask? Well, it could be that vintage indigo textiles slightly resemble a good old set of broken-in blueprints (and it’s pretty easy to be attracted to the familiar don’t you think?!?)… Image Or it could be that I am loving the beautiful blue colors in… Continue reading Vintage Indigo Textiles
I have to start off this post by apologizing for the lack of blog posts in 2013. I just realized that it has been a full month (and then some) since my last post. But here is the low-down.

And… So on that note, I recently spent a long weekend in San Diego with my high… Continue reading Winter Vacation in San Diego
So I blame my lack of posting lately on the combination of a week-long vacation to Utah and an incredibly busy period at work that were both sandwiched by two nasty colds. And because much of my time recently has been spent at work (which is not great material for a blog post), today I… Continue reading Skiing and Sundance Film Festival
And who am I to disagree. So today I’d like to be… 1. Getting ready for bed in this warm and rustic bedroom… 2. While wearing these comfortable pajamas… 3. And taking a little bit of Melatonin (just in case!). We give a small dose (that was recommended by our vet to our dog when she’s anxious)… Continue reading A good night’s sleep is made of these…
