You can start fresh at any time of the year, but there’s something about a new year that feels especially motivating. It’s a chance to refresh, regroup, and welcome new ideas — or even revisit old goals with a new perspective. At the same time, it’s important not to overwhelm yourself. Do what you can, at your own pace, and give yourself grace along the way.

Ahead is a little roundup of moments I’ve captured lately — small things that have brought some happiness to my days.

Journaling

I love starting some of my mornings with a warm drink and a quick journaling session. It’s such a grounding way to clear the clutter from my mind and gently exercise my thoughts. Writing things down — and revisiting them when they need attention — helps me stay present. It’s also a sweet little moment of “me time.”

P.S. You can find this cute journal here.

Fresh flowers

You already know my love for fresh blooms — I can’t help but capture them every time I see them. I especially love bundles in soft pink shades like these. They instantly lift my mood and bring so much joy into a space.

Yummy treats

I love a good donut. There’s a local spot in my neighborhood that makes the perfect maple-glazed donut, and it’s such a treat. Every once in a while, I love picking some up for myself and my little fam.

Local shops

There’s something so special about visiting local boutiques and artisan shops, especially ones that sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and beautiful home goods. This shop is such a delight to walk through. It’s incredibly aesthetic and honestly reminds me of strolling through little markets in Europe. 

Matisse’s OOTD

I love dressing up my little one in fresh, simple fits. A striped tee, jeans, sneakers, and a jacket combo will always be a favorite — classic, comfy, and cute. Shop similar look here.

Breakfast

Breakfast is one of my favorite moments of the day. A good cup of coffee paired with a warm breakfast sandwich just feels comforting, the perfect way to ease into the morning. 

Market moment

A little market stop featuring the prettiest spread of fresh vegetables — and me in capris and my Chanel flats. Simple, effortless, and very much my kind of aesthetic. Moments like these make everyday errands feel extra special.
