A simpler kind of holiday joy
|
Hey Reader, I’m finishing up my homemade gifts today—brownie mix in jars, homemade vanilla extract, taco seasoning, and hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows. I know that might sound like a lot. But as I sat at the kitchen table this morning, cutting out gift tags, I realized how little time I spent shopping this year. And because of that, I had time to make these gifts slowly, to enjoy the process, and to look forward to delivering them between now and New Year’s Day. In years past, we’d pack everything into the car and drive around like Santa and drop off surprises to people we love. I still love doing that. But now, there’s more breathing room. The pace is slower. There’s no tight schedule, just joy in the making and the giving. How will you slow down and savor the holidays this year? I’d really love to hear. Happy Holidays! |

Hey Reader, Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? My husband Steve and I don't get super excited about celebrating Valentine's Day. Most often, we kind of forget about it. I think this stems from years of waiting tables together in a restaurant. We met there. 💕 That said, I know it's a fun holiday for others. Like my mom who already sent gifts to my son. She shows love through her love language, which is gifts. So, we channel her gift-giving into consumables whenever possible. If you're working...
Hey Reader, The other day, I filmed a video sharing what’s in my old organizing bag — the one I carried into homes when I was helping people sort through the stuff that overwhelmed them. Rubber bands. Label makers. Painter’s tape. Simple things. But used with intention? They created space.Peace. Breathing room. 🎥 Watch the video here → [link] And it reminded me — the same is true for our lives.You don’t need big solutions. You need small tools, used wisely. You need permission to start — with...
