Living with less, enjoying life more
sim·pli·fy [sim-pluh-fahy] to make less complex or complicated; make plainer or easier: to simplify a problem. Our environments have a great deal to do with our state of mind. When our environments are cluttered with things, our minds are clouded- sometimes without even realizing it. Think this through…the less you own, the less you have […]

The personality they offer and the unconditional love they give far outweighs the messy paws, early morning need for attention, and costs to keep them safe and healthy. We can’t forget about our favorite critters when we are thinking […]
Meaningful Design
I will never forget the first time I watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition.
