One Day. Four Bins. A Simpler Way to Decorate.
|
Hey Reader, Thanksgiving was a little different this year. The holidays will likely be a bit quieter as we navigate our first season without my husband’s parents. Normally, the week after Thanksgiving is when I kick off the Christmas season and begin decorating. I still plan to do that, but it definitely feels different this year. I’m grateful we’ve simplified over time—decorating now feels lighter and far less overwhelming. If your bins are already out—or still sitting in the garage while you wonder where to start—you’re not alone. I used to feel overwhelmed by it too. But now? I can decorate in one day with just four bins. It’s enough to make our home feel festive without the stress (or the storage headache). If you're craving a slower, simpler season, this post might help: 👉 How I Decorate for Christmas in One Day I share the small shifts that helped me enjoy the holidays more, plus a few questions to help you decide what’s worth keeping—and what’s ready to go. This year, I’m challenging you to decorate in one day, stop when you’re done, and donate the rest. Let it be simply enough. Are you in? Hit reply and tell me how it goes. Until next time, P.S. Just skimming? Here’s the post again 👉 Read it here |

It’s been devastating, but also, we are grateful. We had time with them over the past few years, took them on trips, and made memories. The grief is still heavy, but we did our best with the time we had. There were moments when the caregiving was also heavy, and I wondered if this business was still the right...
Hey Reader, After the season we had, it was bound to happen. The dreaded stomach flu took me down this past weekend. I’ll spare you the details, but it knocked me flat. And yet… I didn’t panic. No emails. No coaching calls. No social media. Just rest. I took my own advice and stopped everything. Why? Because I could. I’ve simplified my life and my business in a way that made space for rest—even during the holiday season. Christmas will still be Christmas whether I do it all or not. (And at...
Hey Reader, Feeling overwhelmed by all the tech options as you start your business? You’re not alone. When I was starting out almost 10 years ago, I felt the same way—until I made one decision I’ve never regretted: I started my email list with [Kit (formerly ConvertKit)].
