If you didn't know, my favourite season is winter. As much as I love summer dresses and the lingering sun in the evenings, the cosiness of cold weather is unmatched; cups of tea, wrapping up in blankets, and finally; the winter wardrobe. While I have never had an extensive wardrobe (but also not quite a … Continue reading Femininity: Winter Wardrobe
So much of what we do is simply… showing up. How easy it is to dream of being a writer for a living, of having a book published under my name. But the writing itself cannot be done until I make myself sit at the computer and put in the hours. Of course, this time … Continue reading At Home: Showing Up
I admit, there are times when I do not have a good attitude. When the things that need to be done are done with grumbling and frustration. While I can look around my home and find joy, there are also times when it all feels too much and I wish someone else could cook dinner … Continue reading At Home: to move quietly
Yesterday morning, my study could only be described with one word: cluttered. Yes, you heard me right. Filled with things that surely had other places to belong! It reminded me of the different moves I’ve had this year; surfaces heaped with random bits you need, furniture cramped into the space, special items that no longer … Continue reading Home Refresh (and renewing contentment)
I know something that can prevent people from getting on top of cleaning and organising can be how overwhelming the tasks feel. This is made even harder on the days when our personal lives feel difficult; cleaning can be the last thing we have energy for. If someone isn’t even motivated to get out of … Continue reading Rhythms of Cleaning
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve blogged. I’ve sat down numerous times to write out a post, but I’ve been distracted with everything that’s been going on. Because – I moved! The exciting and exhausting process has once again been made, only this time I can be settled for a while. If you … Continue reading The Busy Bullet Journal
As you might know, I started a bullet journal last month! As I said in this post, I wanted something to feel organised and where everything could be in one place as I adjusted to full-time work and needed to plan and think ahead more. The good news is, I am still loving it! It … Continue reading Continuing the Bullet Journal
I've been sitting in the sun and realising I have more time than I thought I did. In starting a full-time job, I knew there would be an adjustment period as I got used to a time-sensitive to-do list on the weekend and more responsibility in how I spent my evenings. To help minimise the … Continue reading Learning to Prioritise
I’ve finally done it: I started a Bullet Journal! Over the past week I’ve been trying a few different ways to help me get organised as I adjust to a full-time job and needing to prioritise my time differently, but I have the feeling the Bullet Journal will be what I stick with because it … Continue reading Bullet Journal Beginner
My favourite part of the past week has been going for walks and discovering the local secondhand shops. They’ve been so full of lovely things, I’ve had to tell myself I don’t need everything right now. (Including a nice floral jug, which I’m sure I can find in nearly every secondhand shop there is.) But … Continue reading Settling In
