Reaching Your Organizational Goals

I find that keeping organized is quintessential to bringing peace and productivity into my life.

Life in Miniature

You know you have them too; a plethora of unused photos from vacations and daytrips that you’d like to use but never get around to. The memories sit tucked away on your computer, in an old box, and in a dusty corner in the back of your mind. It’s time to relive the days of [...]

Go Local!

I always tell people that your home should be a reflection of who you are. An important element of the place you call home is the city you live in.

A Fun Way to Connect

As a kid I always looked forward to having an advent calender at Christmas time. The excitement of opening the window to find a gift made each day a little bit special.

Back to School Crafts with Kids

As August comes to a close, it’s time to get ready for the upcoming school year. While summer is celebrated by children everywhere, back to school is also an exciting time.
