Well Hey There… It’s Been a Minute

If you’ve landed here and thought, wait….is this blog still alive? First, bless you for checking. Second, SURPRISE because the answer is YES!

It’s been a solid three-ish years since I last typed anything here, when I told you about about the best sectional (and it still is!). Life happened, as it tends to do.

We moved into a new home, added a sweet, fluffy, and fat girl named Cookie to the family, and I slowly stepped away, again. But it wasn’t just about the house or decor or total burnt out. The truth is, life brought some big, hard things too.

A few years ago, my husband Randy received a serious diagnosis that shifted everything. And not long after, I lost my dad. Both of those things broke me and completely rearranged my priorities. I found myself craving more peace, more presence, and more purpose. Y’all know how many projects my dad helped me do over the years at our old house (hellooo pantry carousels). They were special and I am SO thankful I have this blog and documented most every project we did together.

So I paused. But I never stopped loving sharing. I just needed a reset. One thing about me is I don’t do anything half-as* and when I do it I DO IT. So all of this back and forth nonsense is unlike me and I want to keep up as best as I can.

Somehow in the blink of an eye, the girls grew up right in front of me. Emma is headed into 11th grade (how?!) and Ellie’s starting 8th this next school year. Watching them become these incredible young women has been one of the greatest joys and reminders of why I want to show up fully for them, for me, and hopefully for you too.

What to expect from me now?

• Little peeks into our new home (while I’ve shifted focus, creating a cozy home still matters to me.)

• Fitness and wellness favorites

• Honest chats about life, growth, and longevity (maybe even some peri-menopause stuff because what the what??)

• And how I’m helping others feel their best every day and helping them to create another stream of income while doing it (click here to read about that!)

I’ve also been trying to be more active on social lately, so if we’re not already connected, come find me on insta! You’ll catch more day-to-day moments, behind-the-scenes life, and things I don’t always post here. I’m making tweaks to the blog too, and have updated a few things about my about page, and will continue to update things around here as I can!

So pour a coffee (or kombucha) and stay awhile. I’m really glad you’re here.

xo,

Emily
