Maybe it’s the fact that we just packed up a whole cabin and now I’m staring down triplicates of EVERYTHING like they hold the answers (they don't). Either way, I’m calling it transition tired—and today I’m letting it be what it is. (Watermelon and crackers for dinner, anyone?) New Friday letter is up. Link’s in bio for you. 🩷 #fridaythoughts #latenightsummer #slowdownseason #simpleliving #midlifemusings #quietjoy #restisproductive #theheartofgrandma #heartofgrandma #falliscoming #endofsummer #transitiontime #schoolisstarting

Just merged two homes into one after eight years, Just merged two homes into one after eight years, and for the first time, everything’s under one roof. So why do I have eleven spatulas? 😂 Which means decluttering and downsizing. (And yes, four trips to Goodwill in one day.) I’m in my “if I don’t love it, I don’t need it” era—and honestly? It feels kind of like peace. More on the blog—link’s in my bio. #declutteringjourney #homeedit #downsizinglife #goodwillrun #makinghome #twohomestoone #heartofgrandma #theheartofgrandma
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is show up Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is show up with cookies. 🍪 No reason. No holiday.
