I was introduced to Lily, co-founder of The Wild Minimalist, by a mutual friend. She treated me to an oat milk matcha latte (have you tried this?!) and we bonded over our shared belief that little things make a difference. I learned so much from chatting with her about sustainability in the home, so naturally,…

A Bedroom Refresh w/ Serena and Lily
The girls have been begging for their own rooms recently, and while we’re not quite ready to rearrange our entire home, we did want to give their bedroom a little update. Chloe just turned ten and Emilie is nearly eight. They’re definitely bordering on tweendom (is that a word?), so I wanted to help make…
Digital Minimalism
I just finished reading Cal Newport’s new book, Digital Minimalism, and I honestly feel like it should be required reading for all humans – especially those feeling negative effects from their relationship with technology.

(Sorry guests!) Since our home is on…

A Junk Drawer Makeover
We all have them – those pesky, overstuffed drawers filled with random bits and bobs we don’t know what to do with. Even though they seem benign enough, I believe these drawers take up mental energy and make our days less efficient and productive. I decided to banish my “junk drawer” in favor of a…

Below, check out the most common “spending triggers,” and learn how you can kick your impulsive shopping to the curb and make more thoughtful, intentional decisions in the future.

When Your Family Doesn’t Want to Declutter
I’ve been working with families and couples for almost ten years, and one of the biggest themes I’ve come across is the disconnect that often exists between people who live in the same home when it comes to organization and decluttering goals. I’ve seen couples who were on the brink of divorce over the contents…
