I had never taken the time to look into the history of the Easter Basket. As a child, it was just a fun present to look forward to each year. Now as an adult, it’s a fun way to treat my parents to a small gift around Easter. As I began collecting pieces to assemble […]
This is a fun entertaining tip I learned from my boss! You will probably hear me referencing her multiple times throughout my posts, simply because she is a phenomenal hostess. On a visit to her house one day, I noticed that she had a variety of differently sized glassware. Up until that point, I had […]
A cup of coffee, that you surprise another person with, means so much more than just a thoughtful gesture. A cup of coffee lets your friends know you think of them, it reassures a stranger that there are still good people in this world, a cup of coffee livens up the office mood amongst co-workers, […]
I want to begin by stating that ALL of this information was shared with me during a class taught by Ann Meyers and Rachel Bonin at The Center For The Arts in White Bear Lake, MN. What they taught was so powerful, so useful, and so moving I knew I had to share it with […]

I was chatting with my mom about this topic, since she is the queen of clean: Really any of my posts about cleaning, I definitely refer to my mom’s knowledge on. And with all this Spring Freshness in the air, all I want to do Spring Clean my house right now! This topic in particular, […]
It’s that time of year to start changing up my wardrobe. Thanks to Marie Kondo, I’ve got an easier catch phrase to help me in cleaning out my closets: “Does it spark joy?” Good question Marie! Luckily, I was also raised by a mother who was also good at keeping her home decluttered. The rule […]
