Morning routines are all the rage but I believe there is something to be said for starting the night before with an intentional evening ritual or routine. When we end our day on a pleasant note with everything set up to begin the next day, we have a much better chance of getting off on…
Change Your Routines, Change Your Life
It’s all too easy to think that true change has to be this huge, monumental task. But the truth is that our lives are created by what might seem like minutiae. It’s those tiny little details of day-to-day living which gradually add up to our life in a larger sense. If you understand that then…

While planning my stay-at-home summer bucket list I’ve been thinking about the summers of my childhood.
