After many years living in our last home we did a pantry refresh and I don’t know what took us so long; we loved the results! Changing the wire shelving to solid wood and being more thoughtful in organizing and storing products in a more functional way made a huge impact and still makes me smile every time I opened the pantry. One of the biggest upgrades was my pantry can organization system because I feel a well stocked pantry means having a well stocked carton and can supply. When we built and moved into our new home, an organized…

Long enough to recognize patterns that repeat themselves year after year, regardless of how smart, disciplined, or well-intentioned someone is. Here’s the thing I’ve learned the hard way (including through my own failed habits): Most fitness habits don’t fail because people are lazy. They fail because they’re built on ideas that don’t survive real life. Over the years, I’ve seen a…

Happy New Year! It’s time to unveil my 2026 word of the year and reflect on the intentions set for the year ahead.  In my Through The Rainbow post, I shared one of the hardest transitions of my life — moving out of the home I lived in for 11 years, separating from someone I still very much cared about, and stepping into a version of myself that had been quietly waiting to be reborn. Saying that out loud — and feeling the truth of it — felt like standing in the middle of a storm while the sun tried…
