#MinimalistMonday: Homemaking

When Lauren isn’t spending time organizing, you can find her playing musical instruments with her 8 month-old daughter Amelia, baking something sweet or trying to mimic her husband’s english accent. Originally from Canada, Lauren now calls California her home and loves the constant sunshine and warm temperatures (although she admits to missing snow during the […]

Weekend Projects: Coffee Bar & Luggage Nightstand

Hey everyone! This weekend was yet another weekend spent crafting. Well, on to bigger projects, actually. We finally went out into the country to Jason’s mom to start and finish our coffee bar. We stayed there for about eight hours with very few breaks in between, but we were motivated to try and finish and […]

My Very Strange Weekend Crafting

My Very Strange Weekend Crafting

Hi everyone! I am not a known crafter, but I started making decor and gifts a couple of years ago to save more money. I wasn’t all into it because most of the time, the projects I picked were out of my knowledge base and I had to buy the entire list (sometimes DIY is […]

Project Pan: The Last in the Series

Hi there! I have been participating in the beauty trend/social media challenge #projectpan, and I feel like it is time it’s over. It has taught me so much and I have gotten to the point where I am not spending money because “I don’t have something.” It was a combination of the book Spark Joy […]

Sunday Savings: Sell Everything!

Hey y’all! My husband and I had an amazing but tiring weekend. We are working on a rather large project that we are not revealing quite yet, but we needed moolah for it. We’ve been living on rice and beans (well, the Paleo way. Greens and less meats) in order to save up as much […]

New Book Update: The Year Without a Purchase

Earlier this month, I began reading The Year Without a Purchase: One Family’s Quest to Stop Shopping and Start Connecting by Scott Dannemiller, and I must say, I am finding it quite surprising. Dannemiller, so far, has good writing talent. He makes common things funny and relatable, and touches on points right away. I have not […]

Project Panning and Sparking Joy

Good morning, everyone! Since I’ve been project panning, I have been taking a hard look at my shopping habits. I used to be horrible! The reason is due to not tidying up my cabinets and seeing what I already had. It’s been an insane amount of things I have gone through, and I can’t believe […]

Tidying Marathon Series: My Kitchen

Let’s spark joy in this house! I’ve been absolutely loving my living room and closet area. Everything is organized, minimalist, and clean. It brings a smile to my face when I walk into these rooms because only the items I have chosen to stay are in my home. A home full of joy. Thanks, Marie […]

Minimalist Monday: Reaching Inbox Zen

Minimalist Monday: Reaching Inbox Zen

  We’ve all had our inboxes full to 3-4-digit figures. Sometimes even having a high 2-digit unread amount of emails stresses my mind just a bit. A lot of the times, I know that some of those won’t ever be read, and I simply need to click the “delete” button. That would solve my entire […]

Minimalist Monday: Decluttering Friendships

Hi all! I wanted to write this post for Minimalist Monday not only to declutter certain areas in your life, but also in order to be able to help others out there regarding relationships.
