Modern Camping on the Oregon Coast

We had been wanting to go camping all Summer but our work schedules and other weekend activities always seemed to get in the way. So happy we were finally able to take a step back…

Baja Bound

At the end of a dirt road in the tiny town of Todos Santos, Baja California Sur is the majestic oasis that is Hotel San Cristobal. Our time here was short and sweet, but this…

HI, I'M Alivia

Greetings, I’m Alivia —— I’m a photographer and DIY’er with a deep appreciation for simple living, repurposed goods, and thoughtful design.

My love for intentional design and a good thrift find has heavily influenced my work as a photographer. I used to pride myself on traveling to at least eleven countries a year and kept a note of how many flights I had ever been on, but then we bought a house and everything changed. Now I find moments of peace right here at home, when the afternoon light hits the wall just right, when my throw pillows look perfectly imperfect on the couch, and when I stumble upon a hundred year old thrift find. I’m all about turning the mundane into the magnificent, and enjoying all the moments in between, cause that’s the good stuff! Things that inspire me: times of rest, frolicking through a wheat field, the color beige, and feeling the presence of our divine Creator. So whether in a flower covered field, refreshing a space in my own home, or strolling through a small town antique shop, I strive to tell visual stories by embracing natural beauty, the thoughtfully repurposed, and the simplicity that comes along with making a house a home for the modern day homestead.

↠ Morning rhythms are my number one essential to starting the day. We begin our days the same each morning, and I think it’s so helpful for our children to come to know those daily rhythms—— a gentle hug to their little nervous systems!

Since it’s the beginning of the year, I thought it might be helpful to anyone feeling that “what should I do first” feeling, to share how I structure every morning to set us up for success throughout the day!

Special thank you to @twopagescurtains for being my source of inspiration for this post. Their curtains are so weighted, soft, and luxury feeling. The most stunning I’ve ever owned. These are the Linen Pleated Drapes, Pinch Pleat header, Taupe Grey color (which is a dusty brown tone in my opinion, so lovely). They are memory trained which helps them keep the pleated look. Absolutely in love! #twopageshome

So speaking of curtains, opening them is the first thing I do every morning. Cannot start the day without letting that morning light in! Then it’s followed by——

• switch clothes from washer into dryer
• empty dishwasher
• breakfast
• refill dishwasher / hand wash dishes
• wipe down countertops
• make beds / tidy up bedrooms
• whole house vacuum

These are my non-negotiable tasks that must be completed before I really feel like the day is started. Beginning with a fresh home every morning puts us in the best position to enjoy the day! I’d love to know, what are your morning rhythms for your household? I’m sure it would helpful to others to get some more inspiration too!
