Your FREE Word of the Year worksheet is here ✨


Hi Reader,

I wanted to share something a little personal with you today — I chose my Word of the Year and it’s Grounded.

This is my first time really thinking through this exercise and already I am feeling the benefits of having a word to keep my choices and thoughts clear!

After doing this and realizing how helpful it truly is, I wanted to share a simple way to help others do the same. So I created a free worksheet to help you reflect, find clarity, and choose a word that feels true to you — no pressure, no overwhelm.

And yes, it’s already late January — but this intention can be done at any time and still have resonance.

You can access your FREE Word of the Year Worksheet with the link below:

It includes:

  • A one-page guided worksheet
  • A Word of the Year dictionary with 20 inspiring words

If you decide to use it, I’d love to hear what word you choose. Just hit reply — I genuinely want to know.

Warmly,

Macie

P.S. If this worksheet feels like something a friend would enjoy, please share this download link — I’d love to help more people find clarity this year. ✨

You can still keep a handle on how your home runs, even with kids at home, college kids back, a busier travel schedule or just a completely different summer rhythm than the rest of the year. The...

Hi Reader, Even in a fairly clutter-free house, one space always seems to collect everything. For my family, it's the kitchen. You name it, it ends up here: backpacks, dance shoes, charging cords, mail, dishes (oh my gosh the dishes!!). Throughout the day my kitchen counter and table are completely covered in stuff. For my sanity and just to simply find things, I must reset it daily. Thankfully this doesn't take long and honestly the biggest satisfaction comes from the wipe down of the...

Hi Reader, A few weeks ago I asked what your biggest home challenge was and so many of you wrote back. Closets, tiny kitchens, pantries, downsizing — thank you for sharing. You reminded me that we're all navigating the same stuff, and I greatly appreciate the feedback! Speaking of stuff… I popped into Target last week for a few items and walked straight into their summer display: beach towels, sunscreen, colorful coolers. All of it well merchandised and very tempting. I stopped. I looked. I...
