Hello loves. I hope 2017 is treating you well. I am setting out to embrace adventure this year. I was inspired after watching a documentary on Netflix called Minimalism: A Documentary about Important Things. I've been going through our home, systematically removing bags of things that we don't absolutely love or use all the time. I want our time to be spent embracing the great outdoors, seeking adventures with friends, exploring new places, making fantastic memories. I don't want to be spending my precious time tidying up stuff - and moving it from one spot to another. I want us to be conscious in our choices and only introduce quality items into our home that serves a purpose. Honestly over the Christmas holidays, my biggest highlights were: adopting a cat, going to Mary Poppins with my daughter, celebrating New Years with our fantastic friends in our home, and having a cosy Christmas with my family. None of it was about stuff. If we spend our weekend getting outside and doing activities, I feel invigorated. But if we spend the weekend driving around in traffic to do errands, going from store to store, by the end I feel depleted. This year I'm saying yes to experiences over stuff, surrounding myself with like minded adventurers, and making this one of our best years yet. Just a few weeks into the new year and we've got a trip booked, I'm going to a concert with one of my dear friends and we're catching a great comedy show soon. I am so excited. I hope you chase your spark. xoxo
