How to Make Homemade Veggie Stock {“Compost Stock”}

Whew. Thank you, Friday. Thank you for existing and for being here because this week has been a DOOZY. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that little Luke had his first minor accident this week. He cut his finger quite badly while playing and we were in the ER all afternoon on Tuesday. He’s okay and it’s nothing too serious, just really hard to keep a bandage on such a little finger. It’s driving him crazy! Driving us all crazy. Couple that with terrible naps, teething and a husband who has been out of town…so yes – happy Friday, indeed! We made it. Cheers. Lately I have been really into the idea of making something from nothing. I’ve started baking again – and I’m talking real baking – the type of baking that involves nothing but flour, water and salt and with some time, love and patience those three things turn into something beautiful. I just love that. The idea that we can bake this incredible loaf of bread with just those three ingredients will always baffle me. The best moment is right when it comes out of the oven and you just inhale that intoxicating just baked bread smell […]

Be More with Less How to Maintain Motivation to Simplify Your Life Have you ever started a big closet clean out, began a debt repayment program or tried to simplify your life in other ways only to lose motivation midway through? Maybe you stopped because you didn’t have a strong support system, or it felt too hard to continue.

Here are a seven ways to maintain motivation to simplify your life and possibly inspire people around you to simplify too. 1. Bring it to life. Reading and sharing books and blog posts is a great way to stay inspired as you pay down debt, declutter, and begin to live a simpler l...

3 Compelling Reasons to Schedule More Nothing

Be More with Less 3 Compelling Reasons to Schedule More Nothing Mark and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary this weekend doing a whole bunch of nothing. We napped, watched the waves  roll in, enjoyed long walks, took pictures of sea lions, read and napped some more. We didn’t do anything that anyone would consider productive, yet all of that nothing was life-giving. Our long stretch of doing nothing reminded me of the importance of making room for little pockets of nothing every day. If we don’t take time to do nothing, we compromise everything. 3 compelling reasons to schedule more nothing 1. Emergencies and surprises are out of your control. Test fate and plan your day, hour by hour. Don’t leave any room in between tasks, appointments or commitments. Emergencies and surprises consider this an invitation to show up and blow up the notion that you think you run the world. Instead leave a little room for nothing. The nothing may turn into something and you’ll ha...

Blueberry Cornbread

Eat, Live, Run Blueberry Cornbread Today is our anniversary! Happy four years to us. 🙂 Here’s the post I wrote about our wedding with tons of photos if you’re into that kind of thing. And here’s some honeymoon recaps if you’re bored. Paris. The Riveria. Montreux, Switzerland and the Alps. My big advice to those getting married? PLAN AN INCREDIBLE HONEYMOON. Seriously. We literally talk about how amazing our honeymoon was every day and how it was the best money we have ever spent. We got pregnant two months after getting home and our whole world changed forever…the memories we have of newlyweds on our honeymoon still remain some of our very best memories.  I still need to get some photos printed from our trip, actually. Just thinking about it makes me want to get back over there — I miss Europe!  Anyway, sorry I got off on a tangent there. I went down a rabbit hole this morning looking at wedding photos and just wanted to share. But...
