My Daily Must-Haves

I love learning about other people’s daily routines, from what type of coffee they drink every morning to the book they read or show they watch in the evening. I find this sort of information not only fun, but also so inspiring and insightful, always picking up little ideas here and there for me to […]

Get Organized with OID: Your Pantry

How to Organize your Pantry

I’m a proud organizing aficionado (always have been!) and I can often be found pursuing various sites for more tips and tricks to try out in my own home, but I also know when it’s time to call in for support. I’m not ashamed to admit that I need to outsource help at times, because […]

Project Reveal: Our Outdoor Terrace

Landscape Design Plans

5 Ways I Keep My House Clean & Tidy

This post is sponsored by JAWS “Just Add Water System” and they were a wonderful ally as I rescheduled this content. All thoughts and opinions within this post are mine. This post was originally planned for last week but as the Black Lives Matter movement continued to awaken us all, I decided to silence my pre-scheduled content and […]

My Favorite Candles

Fun personal fact: I light a candle every morning. It’s a small ritual that sets the tone for my day and I do it right along with my morning coffee. A soothing scent does wonders for my mood and the sight of a burning candle calms me almost immediately. And while I’ve been a candle […]
