Ok, so you already know that I am a piler, not an organizer. But since I have declared 2012 “the year of organization” (not really, I just made that up), I decided to jump right in. My first project was one that was staring me in the face every day. My crafting closet was literally spilling out into the hallway outside of our bedroom door. Lovely, I know. The problem…
A few years ago I started making a conscious effort towards making more ethical fashion choices. I started by cleaning out my closet and designing my first capsule wardrobe. I’ve gotten a little off track lately, and I currently have WAY too much in my closet, so I asked Erin from Minimalist RD to help me (and you) get back into better sustainable shopping habits.

Friday night, we pulled into the driveway of our Arizona home. After three months in Montana and two days in the car, it felt good to be back.

I’ve never been much for New Year’s Resolutions. Mostly because they are usually about trying to stop doing something. And when I tell myself to stop doing something, I just want to do that thing. A lot. All the time. It’s all I can think about. So a few years ago, I started setting New Year’s Goals instead. Unlike a resolution, a goal is something positive to work towards. So with my new…
Childhood is not an emergency. So why does it often feel like one? Hurry, hurry, hurry, we’re going to be late! We never have enough time! Finish your homework! Hurry up, let’s go! So many people have told me they would never have the patience to homeschool their kids. The word “brave” has even been thrown my way lately. But you know what? I have never felt more relaxed and…
