People like us get a flutter of excitement when we finally depart with magazines. We get a shot of delight when we glance at a meticulously planned calendar. We get a dose of victory when all our tasks are crossed off our list. We also get a panic attack when our inboxes are overflowing. We…
I’m not a big fan of cooking. Which is why I love shortcuts. Last week I tried a recipe that required cooking the sauce and the chicken in separate pans. Being the efficiency master that I am

Let me guess. You set excessively high goals for yourself. When you fail to reach a goal, you wallow in major self-doubt and worry about measuring up. AmIright?

Pushing your personal bounds and taking yourself to the next level is stimulating and exciting. However, it also comes with risk. The risk of setting expectations too…
I’m a lucky duck. The hubster and I are in the middle of a big home remodel which is so exciting. We’re making our place (and life) more functional and streamlined. If you’ve been with me for a while you know I’m a big fan of simplicity. Loves me an organized closet, an efficient list-making…
