Of course, we’ve all heard it. Life is a Journey. But do you often look at your journey and see it bogged down by to-do lists, obligations, and clutter? I know I do. I knew if I looked back on my life, there would be many happy snapshots, but I wouldn’t be overly impressed with where my precious time went. So I created a new mantra. Simplify Life – Make Memories
This blog is comprised of 5 main categories:
Simplify
While some things in modern life can’t be avoided, I want to remove what I can and simplify what I can’t. If there is an effective and unique way to simplify belongings, routines, and obligations, I want to find it.
Personal Development
Whether it’s a personal development book, a new habit, a hack, or a 30-day challenge, I love it all. I want to be the best version of myself to get the most out of life, and you get to be along for the ride.
Community Building
We are a military family and often need to grow new roots every time we move or when those around us move away. Through this process, I have experimented with different ways to build community and bring the community around me joy. Another reality we all face is that, as a society, we are becoming increasingly isolated. This blog will help you find ways to reach out to those around you.
Celebrate
I love any reason to celebrate. I love parties, traditions, and holidays big and small (Pi day, anyone?) I like to find ways to make days that may otherwise be an average day memorable.
Adventures
What is life without adventures? Is an adventure ziplining down a waterfall in Costa Rica? Yes! Is it also going through a car wash with a three-year-old? Yes! I love finding ways to add big and small adventures into our lives. So many people hold the word adventure on a pedestal, but there is no reason we can’t make adventures happen in our yard, on our street, or in our town.

(okay, that might be more than three but just go with it)
