Live Green | Declutter | Simplify Life
Is it just me, or have things been unusually quiet in the blogging community lately?
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve noticed a definite drop-off in activity. I suppose it’s a sign that much of the world is moving into post-pandemic life. That’s a good thing, but I miss some of my favourite bloggers and often wonder what they’re up to.
Every year, North Americans spend billions on gym memberships and fitness equipment. Despite our best intentions, much of that money is wasted when the initial burst of motivation fades. Today, I continue my May Simple Living Sunday tribute to qualities I admire in my mum, with a look at her simple approach to active living. The best part—no gym membership required!
It’s World Meditation Day—a day set aside for everyone to clear their minds and embrace a practice that has been around for thousands of years. Many people swear by meditation but, for some of us with overactive minds, it can end up being more about frustration than relaxation. Fortunately, there are alternatives to meditation to help you destress.
The world conditions us never to be satisfied with what we have. Every day, we hear that the key to happiness lies with the next purchase—that new pair of shoes, a shiny new car, or a big house to impress our friends. Today, I continue my May Simple Living Sunday tribute to qualities I admire in my mum, with a look at being satisfied with the blessing of having just enough.
It’s Mother’s Day in North America. Greetings to all the moms out there! I hope your day is filled with love, joy and laughter. Many of us would describe our moms as wise. As I continue my May Simple Living Sunday tribute to qualities I admire in my mum, today’s post looks at the difference between wisdom and knowledge, and how we can cultivate wisdom in our lives.
On Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day in North America. Are you still looking for that perfect gift? Look no further! Let me tell you what mom really wants for Mother’s Day. You might be surprised.
And just like that, it’s May. Here in southern Ontario, April mostly felt like another month of winter, with spring weather making a few fleeting guest appearances to tease us and leave us longing for more. As we hope for better weather in May, let’s heat things up with my April roundup of awesome blog posts.
And just like that, it’s May! In North America, May is a big month for moms as we celebrate Mother’s Day. In honour of my mum, I chose five Simple Living Sunday themes for May that remind me of her. I’m kicking things off today with a look at caring for others, and how it can be a form of self care.
Today is World Wish Day, a day to celebrate wishes in all forms. This day was established by Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charitable organization that makes wishes come true for children with critical illnesses. As I sat down and thought about wishes, I decided this would be a good time to dust off my 24 wishes for our world and share them again.
Welcome to Volume 20 of Clutter Tales, a series where we tell the stories of our lives through our clutter. Today’s Clutter Tale is one of mine and it was inspired by a set of film negatives discovered during one of my decluttering sprees. It made me realize that, even in our digital age, we still need printed photos to preserve memories and family history for future generations.
