You’ll find posts about:

  • Simplifying your home through decluttering and organizing

Most of all, this is a positive place where you can find ideas to improve and simplify different areas of your life.

Most of the things that I write about aren’t a “one size fits all” kind of solution. My goal is to help you discover what works best for you.

How This All Got Started

I was a stay at home wife for the first few years of our marriage.

I worked hard to stretch every dollar we had and found ways to save money. I took up sewing and enjoyed making gifts for people to save money. I found ways to decorate our home on the cheap. I also learned as much as I could about budgeting and personal finance. So much so that people started asking me for advice!

Later, I transitioned into working full time and realized that I needed to find ways to simplify my routines because I had so much less time on my hands. I started finding ways to do chores faster and prioritize what needed to get done each day since I didn’t have enough energy or time to do it all.

I started this blog while working four days a week at a very non-creative job. I really enjoy writing and this blog started as a creative outlet for me more than anything else.

I’ve always had dreams of being able to work from home. In the spring of 2016, I quit my job to transition into full-time blogging. I felt like I needed more time to be able to truly succeed at making an income as a blogger. You can read about my first real income report here.

I truly love blogging and being able to communicate with people all over the world about simple living!

A Bit About Me

I live in West Michigan, have been married for 7 years, and am the proud parent of a 12lb cockapoo named Mozzie (like Ozzy, with an M).

Here’s a few facts about me:

  • I love taking Mozzie for walks, working on sewing projects, and binge-watching shows on Netflix. Recently: Sherlock, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and Parks and Recreation 🙂 .
  • We don’t have kids, and are undecided on if/when we will.
  • I am an introvert. Solidly.
  • I get totally geeked out about Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and all Marvel stuff.
