    Relaxing Evening

    These days, I am especially prone to a relaxing evening at home. If I haven’t fallen asleep on the couch by 7pm, then I am usually looking for a few things to help me wind down, recharge and relax. I am currently forgetful about what it’s like to have energy in the nighttime hours, and…

  • At Home

    I have been thinking quite a bit about decluttering this month. The cleaning up of sparkly Christmas decor, the sudden emptiness once things are boxed and away, the start of a new year and of course, the release of the Marie Kondo Netflix series, which I’m sure is filling up most secondhand stores with many…

  • Winter Rhythm

  • Hand Dyed Towels

    For a few of this year’s christmas gifts, i used a clever little idea from Martha and dyed simple kitchen towels from IKEA to package up and give out in little bunches to the family (i stuck a fresh baked loaf of chocolate chip banana bread in there too, mmm.. ps best recipe i ever…

  • Decking our halls
