After my cozy minimalist post the question in my inbox most is: Is it possible to be minimalist with children? My answer: Yes. And here's how. I already spoke on my take on minimalism. My view is more about having only enough stuff to feel comfy and happy vs having the least amount of possessions or the smallest home.

Ultimate Guide for Having Summer Camp At Home
This is it. The kids are out of school! It's time for their summer activities! Camps, enrichment classes, summer school... it's a lot. This is the last summer we have together before they both start full days at school. I love having my little ones home, and them having a break from school-life.

I go online and expect ...

I am all for it....ish. I'm all for anything aimed at bringing a marriage together and making it stronger versus making you feel better about letting it go astray. Praying for your husband and family's health and well being, or a more peaceful household, or a more ...
4 Mistakes From My First Half Marathon
I'm a couple months post half marathon and am itching to do another one! On the high after right running my first half marathon I was speaking with seasoned long distance runners. When I tell them about how my first half-marathon went they look at me like I am batshit crazy. Like "welcome to the fold, sister.....but you're doing this all wrong, get it together."
