Well, hello! Welcome!

I am Emily. Wife to Tall-Dark-and-Handsome (aka Matt), and Mother to a boisterous, funny little boy named Tyler, and a sweet, laid-back little girl named Clara. My roots are in Wisconsin where I was born and raised, but we live in Central Pennsylvania where the rednecks outnumber the city-goers. I would classify myself in between the two…not a country girl, but not a city girl…somewhere, contentedly, in the middle.

Some may say I am a “crunchy” Mama, and in some respects I would agree. But I will occasionally throw caution to the wind, eat a bag of Doritos in one sitting, let my kids watch hours of TV just so I can catch a break, and feed them boxed mac ‘n cheese three days in a row.

A few of my passions include, but are not limited to, all things related to motherhood, home décor and design, fashion, DIY projects, and natural living. I also love baking and cooking. I spent twelve years working in a bakery, and even though I stopped working, I still love to bake; it’s therapy for me.

And above all else, I love and serve my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is my Rock that I place my faith and trust on. And it is only by his mercy and grace that I have life… a life that I choose to live to its fullest.

I created this space so I could share my journey to living a simple life…in marriage, motherhood, home décor, organization, fashion, etc. I believe living simply is not as hard as we make it out to be. So, thank you for following along!

Emily
