Growing up, I was always involved in as many extra-curricular activities as possible (big surprise, huh!)
While I totally understand that there is only so much one child or one family can be involved in, I also think there are 3 important reasons all kids should be involved in a few extra-curricular activities (at least based on my own experiences).
I’ve always been a big fan of lists. Surprise, surprise! I just love having that visual reminder of what I need to do next.
Because I love lists so much, I actually have 2 lists going at the same time — a Master List and a Daily List. Today, I’m talking about why I keep 2 lists going and how these lists work together to help me get more done!
Last weekend, I roasted a whole turkey for my Dad’s birthday celebration. However, I was also able to put LOTS of shredded turkey and lots of yummy homemade broth in the freezer for future meals.
Today, I’m sharing how I saved at least $12.00 (probably lots more) by making the most out of our whole turkey!
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?
