Sunday Diaries: Creating a Nature Oasis In My Backyard
My dream is to turn as much of this space into a garden as possible. We've already made so much progress and I'm thrilled to have some time to show it off! We spent a lot of time out here throughout spring until about mid-summer before the heat waves began.
Seasonal Wellness | How Springtime Outdoor Activities Nurture Your Mind, Body, and Spirit

Weekend Project: DIY Herb Labeling & Organizing
One of the things I wanted the most was enough space to put relevant details. Having enough info immediately in front of you allows you more time to choose the herbs you need rather than spending a lot of time in the books or online researching.

3 Things Better Than New Year's Resolutions
You buy the weights, set your alarm for an hour earlier, and make a commitment to yourself. And about 7-14 days in, your newfound resolution fizzles out. What happened?! Everything was going great until it just wasn't. Now the feels kick in and you somehow failed to follow through.

Summer Reset Ritual: Create a Self-Care Adventure List
Self-Care is important throughout all the seasons of the year. Summertime rituals give us a little more time and seasonal magic to happily indulge in our most desired hobbies. Even the space to try new ones!
Pouring Into Your Own Cup
Pouring into your own cup means taking ownership of what we're putting and allowing in. We steady ourselves for the race of daily life but miss or don't know how to provide space for us.
Whether it's a want or need shouldn't be the question but instead where/when can I make space for myself? How often have you talked yourself out of taking the time you were going to use to do something for yourself? Why oh why do we do that...
Rest, Recharge & Repeat
Since the pandemic, rest (real rest) has been something of a struggle to grasp. Things became way more chaotic but all you really want to do is take a step to the side- distance you and yours from all the s*it flying around. So you can rest and, eventually, recharge.

Lion's Mane Mushroom Latte Recipe
As an alternative to coffee, I used green tea on a whim and it was perfect. A creamy warm latte on a cool fall morning without adding the acidity of coffee to the mix. So, this does take a little longer to prep than brewing a quick pot of coffee but it's so worth it!
Falling into balance with the energy of autumn
While we're still winding down our last days of the official Summer season I've been starting to embrace fall-esque things like trying new recipes featuring root veggies in my pressure cooker and making Fall ritual candles.
5 Things This Week On Inspired Personal Growth
In the name of inspired personal growth, I've been embracing things with a little more intention and grace. While there is a craving for warmth in the air and the return of light beyond the chilly winter days there is a cycle and it holds purpose. We can find rest, renewal, and creativity in this time (even during retrogrades) as we pause to allow flow for gentle reflection.
