Image Source As we usher in a fresh, new year, I cannot help but reflect on the one that has past. While my husband and I were fortunate to purchase our first home in 2018 (a true highlight), and bring our puppy home to stay with us, other aspects of the year were far less […]

A Few Of My Favourite Things ~ No. 7
Image Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, Brown paper packages tied up with strings, These are a few of my favourite things.

Organizing For Your Lifestyle
Those who know me well, will attest to my obsession love of organizing. In fact, I have (shockingly) discussed this very subject on the blog a handful of times (most specifically here and here). So, when I was graciously approached to review the book, Organizing For Your Lifestyle: Adaptable Inspirations from Socks to Suitcases, well, […]
Lessons From Tiffany and Co. ~ No. 2
Close to a year ago, I began a series entitled Lessons from Tiffany and Co., in which I recounted the day that ignited my love for Tiffany’s, a love which has held strong nearly a decade on. As I noted in that post, Tiffany’s has become such an integral part of my life, and I […]
Enjoy Summer’s Final Act
For many (at least here in Canada), Labour Day weekend marks the (unofficial) end to summer. In a few short days, those sand castles and snow cones will be replaced by school books and lunch boxes – cue the waterworks. While Labour Day may mark the end of summer for some, I prefer to linger […]

In fact, one of my earliest blog posts – The Pursuit of Tidy ~ No. 1 – discussed this very thing (please try to contain your shock). The act of […]
Spring Clean Your Life
“Spring cleaning isn’t just about sorting through things, and getting rid of clutter. It’s about taking stock of who you are, and how others see you. It’s a chance to redefine yourself, to change expectations, and to remember that it’s never too late to recapture who you were, or to aim for where you want to be.” ~ […]
The Simplified Workweek
Editor’s Note: A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to write a guest post for Lauren over at An Organized Life; however, I thought my readers might enjoy it as well! Work – we all do it in some capacity or another; and while the nature of that work, and when/where it is […]
A Few of My Favourite Things ~ No. 5
