Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 134 of Life On the Brink!

It’s been three years since Josh and I moved into our house, and slowly but surely we’ve been turning it into our beautiful family home. It’s been a while since I’ve recapped all our renovation progress, but with Baby #2 on the way a lot is changing! We’re in the final stretch now, and I’m so excited for the updates coming this spring.

Plus, this week’s Little Joy is a happy reminder of warmer days to come, and I’m sharing an audiobook that brought many smiles to my face.

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 124 of Life On the Brink!

I can’t believe I’m saying it, but spring has finally arrived. After what has felt like an eternally long and dreary winter, once again the change of season has come just in time. Spring is officially my favorite season, and it always reinvigorates me and revitalizes my creativity. Today I’m bringing some of that creativity to you!

In this episode I’m sharing the books I hope to read, all this season’s garden plans (hint: honeysuckle), and all the crafts and activities on my bucket list for this spring. It’s my little girl’s first spring season, too, which is extra sweet!

Plus, I'm sharing a magazine (ancient relics!) that has brought me so much joy, and a movie soundtrack that absolutely exudes spring.

Homemade Iced Tea Refreshers

Season 2 · Episode 31

Thursday, July 1, 2021 • Duration 22:50

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 31 of Life on the Brink!

It's no secret that I love a cup of tea, as I'm sure you do, and what's better in the summer than a gorgeous iced tea? As delightful as they might be, though, it can get kind of expensive at our favorite cafes and coffee shops. Well, trust me, it's easier than you'd ever think to make them at home!

In today's episode we're talking about:
-iced teas (and my favorite blends to drink cold)
-iced lattes
-homemade syrups and sweeteners
-lots of creative flavor combinations to try

And stick around for my home-grown Little Joy, and a happy summer album from Nigeria that is the perfect refreshing accompaniment to a glass of iced tea.

Summertime Magic + ways to capture it

Season 2 · Episode 29

Thursday, June 17, 2021 • Duration 32:59

Hello hello, welcome to Episode 29 of Life On the Brink!

We are just a few days away from the official start to summer, and I am so excited! We've made it through a challenging season, and now it's time to enjoy like never before.

I think the reason summertime is so magical is because we have so many childhood memories of summer. It was the time of our life that wasn’t regulated by school every day, when we had time to explore and have fun. I think summer carries an inherent nostalgia as we grow up, and this year especially I’m hoping to capture some of that.

In this episode I'll share 20 fun ways to soak up this very special summer and capture all of it's magic, complete with recipes and books and personal memories.

Plus I'm sharing a delicious Little Joy and my favorite summertime album.
