I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I really LOVE keeping all our important information neat, organized, and in one place! Not only does it help me to find what I need on a daily and weekly basis, it also gives me peace of mind, knowing that if something ever happened to me, Dave would have all our important at his fingertips.

Come see how I keep our important information organized, and download free printables to organize your own information!

For the last two years now, I’ve shared my ultra-simple method of tracking how much money we bring in, and (more importantly) how much money we spend in different categories all year long.

So since it’s the start of another New Year, I’m sharing my updated 2013 Finance-Tracking Workbook with you… completely free. You’re welcome!

Over a year ago, I created a Daily Planner template for me to personally organize my day-to-day life. It was exactly what I needed, so I shared it with all of you several months ago.

After many requests to offer a customizable version of my Daily Planner, I FINALLY decided to do it! So today, I’m sharing my new, customizable Daily Planner. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Do you have Too Many Passwords?? Over that past few months, I’ve been asked numerous times if I could create a simple way to track and organize all the passwords, usernames, account numbers, and other information that is SO easy to forget. Well, since “simple” is my specialty — I quickly whipped one up! Actually, I already had a really cool spreadsheet that Dave and I have been using for the past several years. It helps us to organize all [...]

When I got married, my church hosted a “food shower” for me. Everyone brought in their favorite recipe and the non-perishable ingredients to make the recipes. It was awesome! Not only did this shower fill my recipe box with a bunch of simple, tried-and-true recipes; it also stocked my pantry for months! Over the past 5 years, I’ve made most, if not all, of those recipes; but there is one recipe I use on a weekly basis… It’s a “recipe” for [...]

Once February hits, my mind always starts to “think spring” —  it’s wishful thinking, I know — but something has to get me through the rest of winter here in West Michigan! And with the busyness of the holiday season behind and warmer weather still a couple months away, now is a great time to catch up on some much needed pre-spring cleaning! Need a little motivation? Here are a few of my simple cleaning tips. Or if you prefer, [...]

It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE my weekly planner! I carry it with me everywhere I go and reference it at least 27 times each day — seriously, I do. And even though my daily planner is super helpful for remembering and tracking my weekly, monthly, and other long-term appointments and activities; I was still struggling to find the perfect “planner” for my busy, BUSY daily activities. I like small planners, but small planners mean I don’t have enough room [...]

It’s Day #3 of my “11 in 2011 Challenge” — and this goal is one of my favorites! How many times have you been told to “Create a budget”? You know you SHOULD create a budget…but have you ever actually taken the time to make one? And even if you have a budget, do you use it and stick to it? If you answered “no” to either of those questions, chances are you either hate budgets, or you don’t know [...]

In an effort to keep things REALLY simple today, I’ve listed Top Ten Simple Tips to Staying Organized. All of these “tips” should be pretty self explanatory…and if you really think about it, each task would only take you a minute or two to complete. However, if you let them all pile up for days or even weeks at a time, they become an overwhelming burdon. Oh, and I’ve even included this fun printable that you can download and print for free!! So, as [...]

You know how much I love to can jam…any kind of jam…right? Well, I do! I also love to give jam {and other foods I preserve} as fun gifts for Christmas, birthdays, teacher appreciation, etc. When I give canned food as gifts, I like to pair it with homemade bread, pita chips, crackers, etc. and use fabric toppers and fun tags to decorate the jars. It’s just a simple step that I feel makes the whole gift look more “thoughtful” and pulled [...]

I’m always looking for free stuff…both in stores and around the web. And today, I came across these free printable recipe cards over at The Tie That Binds. They are super cute and come in 4 colors. But the best part about them is that you can type your recipes directly onto the cards and then print them. Of course, you can always just print a bunch of blank cards too! What a great way to organize and streamline your [...]
