My last post here was six long weeks ago. And in that six weeks, everything has changed, just as I knew it would. It all really began many months ago when the college application process began. Heck, if you want to get right down to...

This year I didn't declare a word for myself. I thought a lot about it though, what I wanted to create for myself 2015, and did make some intentions. I shared my quest to discover what makes me ridiculously happy. That's still happening and I...

Starting a new year isn’t always this tricky. In fact, I recall in years past that I have felt ready, eager and even excited to begin another chapter of life. But, so far, this year doesn’t feel like any of those. At least not right...

15 Dec Full of Light

Posted at 11:05h in family, fun, motherhood, struggle by Tracey 1 Comment

Over the past few months, I've made a commitment to myself to start to show glimpses into my real life; my chaos, my clutter, my learning curves, my process. More than ever before I've been hyper-aware of the damage that can be done by taking...

24 Feb Saying What Needs to be Said

Posted at 12:37h in blog, day to day, evolution, struggle, the clutter chronicles by Tracey 32 Comments
