As long as I can remember, I have loved all things home and hearth, and the changing of the seasons and the holidays that come with them. I could happily be a comfy hobbit in a storybook, but that hasn’t been my path. While lucky enough to be a wife and mother at home, life has thrown our family several curveballs over the years, and I find myself more often playing the role of hero in an action movie — fighting the good fight as new challenges arrive! 😉
As medical, financial and other setbacks rolled in (because of the nature of the issues we faced) years were going by, and life was happening while I waited for things to get better. Time with my precious family was passing no matter what. What would my memories be – just surviving? That’s when I decided to seize the day! But more than that – seize the EVERY day – I wanted to savor each day, no matter how life was treating us. Survival mode was no longer okay. It was time to gather support, helps, and routines to get us out of survival mode, do better with self-care, and actually find joy in this journey.
Sounds like I made big changes to create a better life – but, no, not really. I found it was often the small, mindful, everyday decisions that could shape my life and bring well-being. All of this is a journey, not a destination – and one that I’m still traveling. Come visit as I share what I’ve learned along the way. This is a place where you can find simple ways to make every day a better one. Welcome.

Seize the Everyday can also be found on Instagram or on Facebook. There is also the Seize the Everyday shop on Etsy, that mirrors the shop here. The Seize the Everyday shops help us with ongoing medical and service dog expenses for our daughter – that, and I love to create products that spread kindness and make our every days just a bit better! I hope you’ll take a look around.
