Hello and welcome! My blog about simple and intentional living was set up to encourage and inspire others to a decluttered and more fulfilling life.
It’s where you can find lots of information, resources, tips and support all in one place to help you create a home and life that works for you and your family.
I’m so pleased you’ve found my little corner of the internet and I hope you’ll return many times now that you’ve found me!
Where to start when life seems busy
When you’re busy you don’t have much time or space to stop and think. It’s too easy to fill our time, hearts and minds with things to do, places to be and information to remember.
Rooting around this site and having the time to work out where you need to go and how to find the information you’re looking for is probably not what you want to be doing (even if you did have the time). So let me help you!
Simple and intentional living
Modern life can be tough. We’re encouraged from every angle to do more, achieve more, buy more, BE more… But more of all these things doesn’t mean that we’re more happy or more fulfilled. Quite the opposite sometimes.
I created this site about simple and intentional living to help busy people find balance through simplicity.
Through the ups and downs of my own life, I’ve learnt that simpler is often easier (still not 100% of the time though!).
I’ve also found that when you focus on what’s really important to you in life and don’t get bogged down or distracted by things that just aren’t that important after all, then you can create a life that supports you, rather than one which you sometimes struggle to just get through.
Underpinning everything that I write about is my passion for encouraging you to try a clutter-free, simpler and more intentional life which will help you navigate the constant challenges of daily life with strength and a smile on your face!
Creating a life that supports that you
For most of us, it all starts at home. Simplify your home, declutter the excess, establish routines to keep it clean and tidy and get organised. Your home will only require basic, regular maintenance from you to keep it calm and clean. Your time and energy can be spent on other things!
You can then go on to simplify the rest of your life – your finances, the food you eat, how you look after yourself, your priorities, your diary and commitments…
Focus your time and energy on what’s really important to you and the memories you’ll cherish in years to come.
Create a life that supports you and your family, rather than one that holds you back. Life is too short and precious to struggle through it!
