This month I closed a chapter in my life playing a role I didn’t specifically chose for myself—the landlady.
My husband and I were young professionals when we met and fell in love, but along with the storybook romance came the reality. We married in 2009 after the real estate market began to plummet.

Hello, hello! This is our final week of “simplicity.” Next week we’ll be back with a new word to carry us through each of September’s Wellness Wednesday intentions. Before we do that, however, I want to say thank you to our Behaviorist, Holly, who posted this awesome picture using the #wellnessMB hashtag. She’s switching to a vegetarian lifestyle, for herself and her family, and she says she has never felt better. Awesome job, Holly! We’re rooting for you!

What perfect timing, as I have been recently striving very specifically to simplify every area of my life including diet, possessions, space, finances, and more. My husband and I have enthusiastically taken on a “less is more” approach to life, and we truly have reaped more benefits than I could’ve possibly imagined.
