This topic has been on my mind for well over a year — since just before Nora was born. And now, almost 15 months later, I’ll be the first to admit that I grossly underestimated how difficult it would be to manage home, work, family, and life.
So can working parents ‘have it all’? Click through to read my thoughts!
I’m frequently asked if I would share what a day in my life looks like… if there are certain things I do at the same times every day, schedules I stick to, productivity secrets to share, or any tips for how I balance work, home, family, and life.
Our daily lives are far from perfect. But since I preach “progress, not perfection” I’m sharing our perfectly imperfect ways with you today!
It’s a common misconception that any amount of organization must take lots and lots of time and energy. However, that’s simply not true.
Not only can you GET organized over a series of 5 to 10-minute increments, you can also STAY organized by spending 5 minutes at different points throughout the day, quickly cleaning and organizing your workspace.
I realize you might be thinking that Scrambled Egg Pizza sounds really… interesting (to put it nicely). But I promise that if you love eggs, you’ll LOVE this recipe.
As with all my recipes, you can mix and match ingredients to fit your family’s taste buds… and it’s actually a very frugal breakfast or dinner.
I used to be so overwhelmed with all of our photos that I actually stopped taking pictures for a couple years. However, after a lot of trial and error, I’ve come up with a photo management system that works really well for us — at least for now!
Today, I’m sharing how I organize ALL our photos — and how I create our digital photo albums using a free online program.
I’m switching things up a bit this weekend and posting my “normal” Weekend Giveaway tomorrow… because today, I’m hosting a fun Thirty-One Gifts online party!
I have a bunch of Thirty-One products and I really like how practical and functional they are. So if you’re in the market for some new bags, organizing products, or just a few gifts, come check out the special January offers!
Earlier this summer, I posted a very simple, very basic smoothie recipe that mixed and matched pretty much any fruits, juices, yogurts, etc. to make almost any type of smoothie.
Today, I’m sharing the recipe for our favorite Apple, Banana, Berry smoothie — and it takes less than 10 minutes so it’s definitely a doable week-day breakfast or snack!
As I was packing up our Christmas decorations I thought, “I bet people would like to see some pictures of our basement and how I store our extra stuff.”
So, for those of you who’d like to see what the basement of a 120 year old farmhouse (with a cray organizer living upstairs) looks like… here you go!
I don’t know about you, but I like to give myself a Christmas and birthday gift 🙂 This year, the gift I gave myself was a super comfy and soft Michigan Home t-shirt from the Home. T Company.
They have many other states available, and a portion of each sale helps support research for Multiple Sclerosis. Wouldn’t these also make a fun graduation gift?
We had a fabulous Christmas and New Years, and I’m so excited to be back to blogging. Dave is still home from school for the rest of this week, but I have too many ideas floating around in my brain and I couldn’t wait any longer to share them with you!
Today I’m sharing a little recap of the past 2 weeks… but tomorrow it’s back to simplifying and organizing!
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m taking a two-week blogging break to spend time with family — and to enjoy Dave’s extra-long two FULL weeks of Christmas break!
However, I couldn’t just leave for two weeks without wishing you all a VERY Merry Christmas, or without sharing our 2012 Christmas card — and a few cute family pictures!
One of the pros of running my own business is that I can take time off whenever I want. One of cons is that it’s really hard to actually take time off! However, based on my past experiences and the last 5+ years running a business, it’s 100% worth it every time I do!
So as we enter another crazy and busy holiday season, I’ve decided to take a two-week break… and yes, I’m excited!
