My heart is so full after returning to the Palisades farmers market. I have missed this community so much, the Palisades was like a second home to me. It was a wonderful day❤️ #palisadesfarmersmarket #palistrong #palisadesvillage #pali #palisades

Save this guide. These are the brands I spent time getting to know. I had a new mom friend who is an interior designer say to me, “Newport Brass, California Faucets, and Waterworks only.” This struck a chord with where I drew my own line. I didn’t consider (yet) some well known names like Signature Hardware or Hansgrohe, no disrespect, or many of the higher end, chic, modern collections from Dornbracht or Axor. But I sure could have used this guide when I started as a traditional girlie living in a modern world. #faucets #bathroom #lifedesignedhappy #intentionalliving #happiness @lifedesignedhappy

English, Dutch, Italian, Californian and the good ole USA influence on display here. Sneak peak into a list of options for what I hope to install in my new home. Friendly tip, the first one is the most affordable/excellent quality but looks and feels like it belongs. Did you like any of them? Throw this post a like so others can find it. #palisadesfire #rebuild #bathroominspiration #bathroomdesign #faucet @lifedesignedhappy @newportbrass @cocoonbathroom @drummonds_bathrooms @houseofrohl @perrinandrowe @waterworks @graff_designs @gessi_official 🥰

I know it is tempting to go cheap and cheerful as there are so many wonderful designs available, even sold by popular furniture providers, but this is your reminder that cheaper faucets are penny wise, pound foolish - because they need to be replaced. This faucet you see here is in my master bathroom, in my otherwise beautiful, newly renovated rental property. It is only two years old. And I have watched the corrosion worsen with every passing day. Especially here in California where our water is so hard. Invest in home water filtration systems. And invest in solid brass. If you fall in love with home hardware design, the best of it will last forever. #faucet #faucets #bathroominspiration #bathroomdesign #investinyourhome @lifedesignedhappy

What do your shower trims live on? Ask your contractor about Tadelakt. It is a low VOC, breathable plaster designed for wet areas. Not inexpensive to install and comes with a bit of maintenance (filling in cracks eventually) but as my GC pointed out, tiles require maintenance too (sealing, replacing broken tiles). Plaster is timeless! #faucets #tadelakt #bathroominspiration #happiness @lifedesignedhappy

This year taught me that growth doesn’t always come with support, applause, or a cheering crowd.
Sometimes it comes quietly — when you’re forced to show up alone, stay disciplined without motivation, and keep going even when no one sees the effort.
I learned how to do it for myself.
How to stay focused in silence.
How to keep my promises to myself.
And most importantly, I learned that when you stop waiting for validation and start choosing yourself daily, everything changes.
This year didn’t make me perfect — it made me stronger, more disciplined, and more self-aware.

“My name is Laurie Haller. I’m 45, living in LA with my husband and three kids (5 to 14). I always thought motherhood would be my legacy. Raising the next generation is important work, after all. But when I became a mother, I felt abandoned by the illusions I had bet my happiness on.

If I’m being honest, I didn’t find my “life’s work” on the other side of pregnancy. Fourteen years in, I laugh that no one tells you how much of parenting is meeting the unrelenting needs of tiny, irrational humans—for decades. I don’t like to cook, I rarely leave the house, and I somehow ended up with three kids in club sports. Not exactly the dream scenario.

So I asked myself, “Now what?” But this time, I was a little mad—like Dorothy pulling back the curtain in Oz. If not the husband, the kids, the white picket fence… then what?

I dove into the meaning of life, obsessively reading, writing, and listening. And while happiness looks different for everyone, one word kept showing up: intention.

To live with intention. To think, move, and breathe with it.

I define intention as the sum of awareness + action. When we become aware—of ourselves, our beliefs, the universal laws of life—and pair that awareness with action, life becomes the gift we were promised.

And so, the one-mile was born.

Since September 24, 2023, I’ve walked (or jogged) one mile every day to show the power of small, intentional actions. Rain or shine, home or away, sick or healthy—I haven’t missed a day. Because our deepest peace doesn’t come from success, material things, or the love of others (not in any lasting way). It comes from a deliberate relationship with our own lives.

I’ve since become a licensed life coach and written my first book (forthcoming). I’ve had two more children, buried my best friend, rebuilt my marriage, and recently lost our home in the Palisades Fire. Life doesn’t stop being life. But when you trust it, when you meet it with intention, peace and joy exist—even in the heartbreak.

They say, “Your kids don’t need a perfect mother, they need a happy one.” I’ll take it further: You don’t need a perfect life. You need a happy one. Continues in comments…

There is no world that I can fit all of the extraordinary women in my life into one IG post but I have tried to highlight how incredibly fortunate I am to be raised by the best and loved and supported by the best women on earth. I am forever grateful and my heart is so full. 🙏❤️Everyday should be #internationalwomensday
