creativity, daily moments

colorful little plate flower

About a week into weight watchers I found an entire online community of men and women on Instagram. These folks use the social media platform as a way to connect, inspire, and find accountability. I could spend hours on end reading posts, finding new accounts to follow, and gaining wisdom from tried and tested habits,… Continue reading colorful little plate flower

It's been about a month since we lost our sweet girl, Josie.  It's amazing just how close we grow to our pets- they most definitely are family.  The relationship between our kids and their animals is really something to sit back and admire.  It's also interesting to see how differently we each grieve her loss.… Continue reading sharpie art

the blessing of health

True health is a whole thing.  I mean that in two ways.  It's a WHOLE thing, holistically speaking.  We've got to live a life of balance to really live and thrive.  But it's also a whole thing- as in it's always something we are pushing after, something that we work at all day (realistically), and… Continue reading the blessing of health

little yellow flower

As I stepped out earlier this week to take my daughter to school, I looked down and saw this dainty little flower. Most days I wouldn't have given a second glance to the flowering weed coming up in the driveway crack (note to self: ‪#‎needroundup‬), but in that split second it really stopped me in… Continue reading little yellow flower
