So I saw my favourite home organizer and joy finder, Pia @sweet_digs on Instagram sharing in her stories what she called #thegoodlist - a curation of beautiful things that she was grateful had happened to her the day of or the day prior. I asked Pia if I could borrow her hashtag #thegoodlist for our Bare with Me space because I just loved it so much, and she let me know that this was something she had borrowed from the great Rachel Cargle, who also had borrowed it from the book Chasing Slow by Erin Loechner. So here I am doing the same and continuing the thread by borrowing it to share with all of you.
#thegoodlist - a place to share all the beautiful, soft, joyful, good moments and happy intricacies of your life - as large, or as small as they may be (my definition, not theirs as far as I know lol)
Let’s use this thread to share all the good things that have happened for us on a day to day basis :) Tap in!
