My Week In Review (Sep. 17-23)
I am SO hoping this will be the last Week In Review post I write for a while as I said I would write them until the baby arrives… I figure she HAS to arrive before the end of NEXT week!
Honestly, though, I feel like I’m living in “the calm before the storm”… and I’m doing my best to just enjoy it instead of feeling anxious for the baby to arrive!
My Week In Review (Sep 10-16)
I’m still here… the baby is still NOT here 🙂 All is well though, and I’m really not anxious for her to arrive sooner than she’s ready. I know labor and delivery will be so much easier when everyone is truly ready!
I hope to have some exciting baby news to share with you all soon… but in the meantime, here’s what I blogged about this week in previous years.
How We Think Through and Execute our Many Home Projects
I often get questions about how we do so many house projects, how we meet our deadlines, and how we do it all without going crazy or filing for divorce!
We might be crazy (in a good way) to do everything we do, but we really do enjoy the whole process! Today, I’m sharing the steps we take when thinking through and executing our many home projects.
My Week In Review (September 3-9)
We’re 2 weeks into the school year and 10 days from my due date — which means lots of changes for the Dekker family this month! Thankfully, they all seem to be good, fun, and exciting changes — but sometimes even good, fun, and exciting changes are challenging for me!
Here’s what I blogged about this week in previous years.
Labor Day… and My Plans for Labor after I Labor!

A Few Of My Favorite Things {August 2017}
It’s August… which means we’re enjoying the last few weeks of having Dave home every day for summer vacation.
I guess you could say Dave is one of my favorite things. However, since you can’t have Dave, I’m also sharing a few more of my favorite things in today’s post — all of which are available on Amazon or your local grocery store! 🙂
What Simple Living Means for Me
My Week In Review (July 23-29)
How I Get and Keep My Kids Organized With Simple Systems
I’m convinced our home is more user-friendly, more functional, and (best of all) STAYS more organized if I simply put a little extra thought into how I set up my kids’ closets, toys, crafts, and anything else they access on a regular basis.
If you currently struggle to get your children to stay somewhat neat and organized, I’m confident some of the ideas in today’s post will be helpful for you! And yes, these ideas work for teens and adults too!
Our Favorite Inside Toys
I know it might seem weird to do a post about inside toys in the middle of the summer, but here in West Michigan, it can get REALLY hot and humid in the summers, so we often play outside in the morning and inside in the afternoon, where the air conditioning keeps things very pleasant!
The toys listed in today’s post are things ALL 3 of our kids (ages 5, 3, 2) play with and enjoy almost every single day!
A Few of My Favorite Things {July, 2017}
I Worked From Home Before It Was Cool!
Did you know I’ve been working from home for over 10 years already? Way before I started my blog, before I had children… and honestly, before it was even “cool” to work from home.
Today I’m sharing part of my work-from-home journey, along with a bunch of valuable resources and tools for anyone hoping, wishing, dreaming, or even just tentatively thinking about working from home!
Why I Don’t Save and Repurpose Everything
Do you feel like your home is packed full of things you hope to sell on specific websites, give to specific people or organizations, bring to specific donation centers or recycling facilities, or just things you are saving because you might have a chance to use them again someday?
If so, I hope this post is the motivation you’ve been waiting for to finally lighten up your home!
A Nice Change of Pace
Although I love schedules, I thrive off regular routines, and I really enjoy finishing up a big project, there is just something to be said for tossing the to-do list every once in awhile! Don’t you think?
Today I’m sharing how our long Memorial Day weekend turned into just the right “change of pace” we needed to take a break from construction and focus on other things.
2 Super Simple Ways We Save on Kid’s Clothing
I’m often asked for good money-saving tips, so I thought I’d share 2 of the simplest ways we save on kids clothing. They don’t involve scouring garage sales, using coupons, or reselling things at consignment stores — they are both much easier than all of that!
I know my ideas and tips won’t work for every family… but they’ve been working really well for us for the past 6 years!
