✨Finding Balance: Health, Home, and Holidays 🎃


Hi Reader,

I hope this email finds you all in good spirits! As we are entering the last week of October, I wanted to share something personal that has been on my mind lately: unexpected health setbacks. Recently, I faced a little bump in the road that reminded me just how important it is to have a supportive home environment and family around us.

When I had to take time to rest and focus on my recovery, I realized how much my organized home systems helped me. With everything in its place, I didn’t have to worry about clutter or chaos. My family stepped in to help, making meals, keeping things tidy, and even taking care of the kids. It felt so comforting to know I could focus on getting better without added stress. 💖

This experience taught me that having a well-organized home isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a space that supports our well-being, especially during tough times. When everything is organized, it allows us to breathe easier and focus on what truly matters—our health, our family, and our happiness.

Don’t let the idea of "systems" intimidate you. Systems are really just simple habits you can incorporate into your daily routine to stay ahead of clutter. By taking a little time now to plan and organize, you’ll find that it pays off significantly down the road. These small, proactive steps can make a big difference, allowing you to enjoy a more peaceful and inviting home during the busy holiday season.

Here are three simple things you can do this week to get started:


✨3 Ways to Prepare for the Holidays This Week✨

  1. Declutter Decorations: After Halloween, evaluate your holiday decor. Set aside items you no longer love for donation to make room for new ones that bring joy!
  2. Create a Holiday Calendar: Use a planner to jot down important holiday dates, like gatherings and gift deadlines. Keeping everything in one place helps reduce stress.
  3. Start a Gift List: Brainstorm gift ideas for loved ones and jot them down as they come to you. This will prevent last-minute scrambling and help identify items you already have!

And don’t forget, planning for the upcoming holidays can also be a fun way to bond with your family. Why not sit down together and create a list of activities you want to do? Whether it’s baking cookies, watching holiday movies, or going for a family walk to see the fall leaves, these moments can be precious.

Hi Reader, I hope you’re doing well! In my neighborhood, we’re already seeing Halloween decorations popping up everywhere! 🎃 It’s such a fun time of year, but it also means the holiday season is just around the corner. I don’t know about you, but every time I pull out those spooky decorations, I find myself wandering into the attic or storage areas, thinking, “Wow, I really need to clean this place out!” Sound familiar? Let’s be honest—life gets busy, and it’s easy to let clutter pile up. But...

Boone North Carolina, what would you truly miss if everything were swept away

Hi Reader, I hope this email finds you all safe and well. In my beautiful state of North Carolina, this past week has been filled with news of devastation and destruction from Hurricane Helene. So many images of homes, nature, roads just that were gone in an instant. Having spent the majority of my life here (especially my college years at Appalachian State University in Boone) I’ve always cherished the mountains and the serenity they bring. Seeing these majestic places and the wonderful,...
