Although we are generally quite healthy around our house, the kids have had enough colds and coughs over the past few years to allow me to develop a little routine of sorts for “what to do when the kids get a cold”.
Today I’m sharing 7 tips to stop germs from spreading and shorten the duration of coughs and colds… they work for us, I hope they work for you too!
For the last 2 years, I’ve done the vast majority of my grocery shopping at Aldi; purchasing only a few “extras” at Meijer and Costco each month. Honestly, I’m a HUGE Aldi fan!
However, I’ve noticed their prices starting to creep up lately — even higher than other stores in our area — and I wonder if you have noticed this too?
A lot has changed in my life over the past 10 years… but one thing that has remained the same is my commitment to simplify every aspect of life … for my own family, AND for yours.

I’ve been fascinated by personality types ever since I took my first Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test in high school. It’s amazing how accurately the results of this test explain my personality, my strengths, and my weaknesses!
Today, I’m sharing my own personality type, along with 5 practical reasons you should know and understand your personality type!

Rushed and busy mornings are not high on my list of favorite things… if you feel the same way, I hope today’s post offers you the motivation you need to simplify your mornings once and for all.
It’s AMAZING how simply sticking with my early morning routine sets a positive tone for our whole family for the entire day!
Have you ever gotten to the end of a day and felt like you accomplished absolutely nothing? Yup, me too! Whenever these feelings of inadequacy strike, I know it’s time to make another “Done List” — or a list of everything I accomplished that day.
A Done List is an excellent way to practice gratitude and contentment, and I’m challenging you to try it this year!
Can I tell you a secret? I’ve been planning for and looking forward to today’s post for MONTHS!

I’m thrilled to be back to blogging after my 2-week hiatus, and I have a couple of REALLY fun, exciting posts to share with you…
However, before I jump into all the fun and excitement that comes with running an organizing blog in January, I want to take a moment to officially share our family’s 2019 Christmas card here on the blog. I designed it myself with free software and I’m so happy with how it turned out!
Every year I get lots of questions about what we give our children for Christmas… specifically, if we give them used and second-hand gifts.
I’m sharing all the details in today’s post — including how we managed to get all 4 of our children 12 gifts for less than $100 total (thanks to used and second-hand gifts)!
In an effort to simplify entertaining, I have a favorite go-to easy appetizer platter I can whip up in minutes if we have last-minute guests. I can also make it well in advance if I have the time.
These easy appetizers are perfect at any time of year, for any type of party, with any budget, and can accommodate almost any dietary restriction or food allergy. It almost sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it!
