Sweet Simplicity

Make time for your No. 1 priority: You

I don’t know about you, but the fall season so far has been a rough one. Between having a busy schedule, not a ton of down time and a few illnesses and injuries mixed in, it has been a bit of a whirlwind. This weekend, I made myself get up extra early so I could have...

Spring to it and clean with a plan

Are you ready to declutter your home?

By the time are reading this, we will be thinking about warmer temperatures and long-awaited warm temperatures. Whenever the mercury on the thermometer rises and beckons in a new season, I am always inclined to change out my home decor to match that particular season....
