I’ll take a party, but hold the plastic, please! I love hosting parties, large and small, but have never bought into the idea that hosting has to be complicated, overwhelming, or wasteful. As you can probably guess, I apply minimalist principles to my party planning (clarify what’s important, ditch the rest), and I’m sharing my […]

How to Write a Book: My Step-by-Step Process
I signed my first book deal with Ten Speed Press (an imprint of Penguin Random House) months before the world changed and we were all hit with the harsh reality of a global pandemic and healthcare crisis. I’d dreamed of writing a book since I was a kid (both my parents were published writers), but […]
The Best Neutral Interior Paint Colors
I’ve received so many questions about what paint colors we used in our home to create a clean and neutral aesthetic. So, I decided to track them down and create a post with links to all of them. A little backstory: In 2013, when we bought our first home, I knew I wanted to go […]
5 Things Making Me Happy
I have been hearing from so many people that they are feeling an intense pressure to “take advantage” of this time at home and be wildly productive.

A Cookware Capsule with Made In
My brother makes fun of me for many things, but most of all he heckles me for the items in my kitchen – specifically my cookware. I can’t blame him. It is truly cringe worthy, and a point of shame that for some reason, I have never taken the initiative to replace. Let me rewind: […]
The Fifteen-Minute Win: How to Start Taking Action
Let me tell you a story. A few years ago, my mentor asked me to give a keynote at her annual business mastermind. She wanted me to talk about how to create an online program. Now, at the time, I had just launched my first ever virtual program, The Virtual Closet Makeover program, and I […]
Living Room Refresh with Spatial Soulutions
I’ve almost run out of rooms to transform, but not quite yet, Friends! You know I get restless and like to mix things up from time to time. This time I had my eye on a living room refresh. I didn’t want to break the bank investing in new furniture, so I partnered with Dany […]
Room Swap Reveal!
As you know, I recently surrendered my home office so that my daughters could have their own rooms, but that was only part one of our three room swap. Once we got 8-year old Emilie settled in her new room, we decided to swap rooms with our oldest daughter, Chloe. Her room was a little […]
