One of my favorite money saving and time saving tips, (but the one that gets the most eye rolls) is meal planning. It is super simple to do, takes just a short time to create one and will save you not only time but money. Surprisingly more money than you think.
If you are a mom who is trying to stick to a budget, or simply a wise woman who knows …
Are you feeling completely overwhelmed by the thought of cleaning? The good news is that it really does get easier …
The life I live now is almost incomparable to the life I lived before.
The most note-able differences are that I’ve become a mom (and moved a tiny person + a whole pile of tiny person stuff into our home), and I’ve left the working world. (I now work for myself, from my home.)
The holidays are fast approaching and not only do you need to decorate your home, buy all your gifts (and …
I spent the last few months asking (screaming?) HOW can I keep my house clean with a baby and a toddler?! HOW?!
I have 2 under 2, and I know I’m not the only one who’s felt like trying to keep a house clean with a baby / toddler / multiple small people under foot is totally impossible.
A messy house is no fun – it makes me feel stressed and overwhelmed in all areas of my life actually. I even sleep better when my house is clean. And I can’t get my house clean unless it’s organized – shoving stuff into the cupboards and under the bed doesn’t count as “clean” to me.
When it comes to getting organized, one of the key elements must be decluttering.

Christmas is just around the corner and I have been thinking about all the fun activities that our family will do once again.
However, this year, I have decided to be more conscious about getting my girls to serve others and think outside of themselves.
As a parent, you know it’s hard to keep your sanity at Christmas with little ones – if you don’t have a great plan.
I remember one Christmas when my daughter was about 2 years old, she got overwhelmed with all the Christmas activities and lack of schedule. I guess she just had too much fun. Because on Christmas day about 2:00 pm with all the activities happening around her, she just laid down in the middle of the floor and fell asleep with friends and family walking and talking all around.
Growing up, it was common to walk into the bathroom or kitchen and smell bleach. It was such a common household product that I was shown how to “safely” use it when I was in sixth grade to clean the bathroom.
Thankfully, when we know better, we do better and that will not be the case when it comes to teaching my children how to clean, they will know how to properly use non-toxic household cleaners.
