We’re Libby and Marie, two lifelong friends who believe that life is a never ending journey of discovering what is best, what is truly good and beautiful. It is the goal of this blog to unpack the rhythms of ordinary life with thoughtful intentionality. Whatever the subject, our objective is always to listen, to be present and attentive, and to approach even the trivial with a consideration of the profound, for it is in the very nature of humanity to find joy in growth and in shared understanding. Whether it’s around a common meal, a core idea, or a chord of beauty, The Intentional Ordinary exists to be both a bridge between people and a place of discovery.

“Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.” — Mark Twain
