Hi there friends!! It feels like a lifetime ago since I last posted… COVID-19, pregnancy#3, becoming a mother to my second girl boss, Ava – to say that life has changed is an understatement! Through it all, I have been reminded of the joy in simple things (space, fresh air, the beach, bubbles, smiles) and […]
Social media silence
I started writing this post in July 2018. Twelve months later I still feel the same way so I thought I would publish it… I have been quiet on Instagram lately for two reasons.

Buying less…an update
A lot has happened since I committed to a shopping ban as part of my Year of Less Challenge last year. I kept a diary (electronic of course) of my milestones along the way and I finally felt ready to share them with you below. Update 1 (July 2018) 6 months have passed since I […]

A message for young women
