That Time I Made Excuses… and how I finally started working towards my goals!
After 2 weeks of making excuses after excuses for a ridiculously simple task, I finally put my foot down and decided to make it a priority over everything else on my to-do list.
If you are currently making excuses for a certain goal in your life, I hope today’s post will motivate you to put your foot down and start working towards your goal today!
A Few Of My Favorite Things {March 2018}
15 Minute, No-Bake Snack Balls
In an effort to add healthier options to our afternoon snack, I’m always on the lookout for super easy snacks that are slightly more nutritious than traditional baked goods or store-bought goodies, kid-friendly, and have a decent shelf/freezer life.
Today’s recipe definitely fits all my criteria — which is probably why it’s a favorite in our house!
We Played Musical Bedrooms… again!
Remember this past summer, when I spent hours upon hours (while 7-8 months pregnant) painting, moving furniture, installing closets, hanging decorations, and sewing bedding in an effort to transform our upstairs bedrooms for our kids?
Well, it only lasted about 5 months before the kids decided they ALL wanted to share a bedroom… today I’m sharing how we rearranged things to make that happen (and what we’re doing with the extra room in our house!)
How and Where I Store My Cleaning Products
I’ve never been one to want or use tons of different cleaning products — I sort of stick to the basics to prevent the need to organize my cleaning supplies (which seems like a funny concept to me!)
So today, after 8 years of blogging about cleaning and organizing, I’m finally sharing how and where I store my cleaning products!
Don’t Worry About Perfection… Just Move Forward
Our 2017 photo book arrived last week, which got me thinking about all the times people have told me they “wish they would have started making digital books when their kids were born”.
The point of today’s post is NOT that everyone should create digital photo albums. Rather, I hope to encourage you to stop worrying about doing everything perfectly, and instead, focus on what you can do right now and just MOVE FORWARD!
Our Current Bedtime Routine
Dave and I certainly have a long way to go before becoming “super parents” but I will say we have our kid’s bedtime routine DOWN TO A SCIENCE!
Today, I’m sharing what our children’s bedtime routine looks right now — not because I think everyone should use our routine, but simply because I get asked about our bedtime routine quit eoften, and I know it’s always interesting to read what works for other families!

If I Could Pay Someone To Do One Chore For Me…
I was recently joking with a friend about how I’d love to pay someone to do all the food preparing and cleanup for me everyday — seriously, do you know how many extra hours I would gain each day!
I’m sharing a bit more about this today — and I’d love to know what chore you’d would most like to pay someone else to do for you!
Simple Ways to Spend One-On-One Time with Young Children
You’ll Never Guess Our Largest Monthly Expense!
I’ll be honest, I haven’t been overly aware of how much we’re spending in what categories over the past 6 months (I blame it on baby #4 arriving 5 months ago!)
However, curiosity got the best of me last month, so I quickly opened our Finance Tracking Workbooks for the last several years… and I was totally shocked at what I found!
Trash Or Treasure… something to think about before you donate!
After many years of working with in-home organizing clients (and many years purging my own home), I know all too well how alluring it can be to “donate” something instead of dumping it in the trash. After all, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”… right?
Today, I’m sharing why some of our “trash” is just “trash” and not worth donating!

My Homemade Facewash (8 years later)
Just about 8 years ago, I got the crazy idea (after reading it somewhere on the internet) that I wanted to start using OIL to cleanse my face!
That post was so popular that I STILL get comments, questions, and emails asking if we really use oil to cleanse our face… so today, I’m sharing an update, 8 years later!
