things are just things

Finally! We were all settled into our home. It was put back together and perfectly decorated. I even replaced most of the furniture in the rest of the house as well, all while staying on budget. And just as we got comfortable and used to “normalcy” again, we had a major realization – we can […]

My Happy Place

Where’s your happy place? Not the fabulous tropical destination you love to visit (vacations in paradise make me very happy as well), but somewhere nearby that helps your state of mind and simply makes you happy. It may be somewhere in your home, or yard, or neighborhood… a place you can easily access. A place […]

New Normal

All we hear about lately is our “new normal”, and how we’re learning to adapt to our world with COVID-19.

Kära 2.0

 “You’re so brave!” and “How inspiring!” are what I hear most of the time once I tell someone I’ve left my career as a dentist to follow my creative passions.  However, I also hear things like “I wish I could do that,” or “That must be nice.”   So I feel the need to share a […]

Lifestylist

“So what do you want to do next?” is the question I get asked constantly these days.  And it’s a fantastic question – one that I ask myself on a daily basis.  As someone who’s been on the same track her whole life, it’s a bit overwhelming when you decide to completely change course and […]
