Evening Leisure Time

It’s all too easy to get into the habit of spending downtime mindlessly scrolling social media accounts or binging Netflix. There’s nothing wrong with checking your Instagram feed or watching a favorite show but when all of your leisure time is eaten up by mindless activities you miss out on so many better options. That’s…

Create a Welcome Home Evening Ritual

Welcome Home Evening Ritual

Over a decade ago I wrote a little something about my take on The Good Wife’s Guide, a how-to guide for wives supposedly from a 1950s-era home economics textbook. Whether this exact piece ever actually appeared in a textbook is questionable. But did women really do such things at one time? Maybe. Some of it….

September: A New Beginning and an Updated Planner

August 30, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

My Morning Basket

The other day a friend shared a video in a Facebook group in which she showed us her “Morning Basket” and what it contained. I immediately fell in love with the idea and decided to create my own. Earlier today I went to one of my favorite places – Staples (anyone else have an office…

Create a Beautiful Life With an Evening Ritual

April 29, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 9 Comments

Creating a Beautiful Life With Rituals

When my children were little we had a bedtime ritual. David or I would bathe them and then dress them in clean pajamas. I would comb their wet hair, usually braiding Lisa’s long hair loosely so it wouldn’t tangle overnight. Following tooth brushing we would tuck them into bed and read a story (or ten)….
