Written ByLynn

I’m home from my trips to Dallas but as I write this on Thursday afternoon, Annie, Tommy, and Harrison will be flying in later tonight.

I haven’t showed up here for two weeks, and we have a lot to catch up on!

This Week’s Events

We all have a wedding this weekend. The festivities start Friday night. The kids don’t leave until late Monday night.

After that I have nine days until I had for Los Angeles for two weeks. To say I’m a bit overwhelmed is an understatement. In two weeks my conversation on the Podcast with my guest co-host, Lori Corrigan is about setting boundaries. I need to take notes. I’m not sure if mine is so much about boundaries as it is about saying no to things.

Behind the scenes

Hi, I’m Lynn

I traded corporate life for cozy living and now share how to make small spaces feel beautifully intentional.

With a love of vintage finds, organized chaos (emphasis on organized), and a handy husband who builds my wild ideas, I’m here to show that living large isn’t about square feet—it’s about heart, style, and good bones.
