Encourage Independence in Kids with Daily Rhythms
including this free printable pack! When I first started out parenting, I always told myself I’d never be that parent that hangs little charts up (and you know how I feel about those ‘nevers’). It seemed too formal and forced. But once I realized my child was craving independence around two, I realized maybe those charts weren’t so bad after all. In our home we introduced a simple morning and evening routine by placing visual charts up in our daughters’ room. By giving them an easy reminder of the steps they could take on their own, we saw them bloom in independence. They know what was expected of them, and we get to relax…
Curate your life with this Monthly Goal Worksheet
The start of each month calls for a fresh spread and a fresh outlook on the life I want to be living. Am I doing all I can to curate my daily experiences? I love using the monthly view in my TAP Planner System to reassess my habits. Do I need to focus on a work goal this next month? Or maybe I have been feeling so frazzled in the busyness that my focus should shift to more personal self care? It’s funny how as I reflect each month, my needs are constantly ebbing and flowing with the seasons of life. For example, this month: the girls are going to…
There is goodness within you, never forget it. (free Fruits of the Spirit printable)
Today, enjoy this gift from me to you. A simple + free printable of the fruits of the spirit. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Going Simple with Daily Habits
Each year I love to end this challenge with a space of thought and intention. Also known as Week Six. The final week in the Going Simple Challenge. The beginning of this challenge is all about our things. Simplifying, leaving, loving, and sometimes learning to re-love them. But I don’t want to ditch you in a space where you are hyper focused on your things. That is not what life should be about. Instead, let’s start learning to go deeper with life, and let our things be as they should. Background music in our life. This week, how we choose to live is taking center stage. Welcome to the 2021…
Slow Down with Simple Soul Care Ideas
Plus a free printable for when you need to refuel! I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been putting myself majorly on the back burner. Filling ourselves up is the only way we are able to give back and serve others, as well as our home. So if we are running on empty, we aren’t going to get very far in our relationships or goals. Enter, self care. If you’ve been here before, you probably know my take on the term self care. Long story short, I believe we need more than the commercialized version we know today. In searching out self care, we see these acts are often quick fixes,…

Make a Plan: Five Reasons to Establish Daily Rhythms
When I started into my early motherhood journey, I was clueless. I attempted multiple home management, meal planning and self care routines. I printed charts. I wrote out schedules. But nothing worked for me. Finding myself so discouraged by my failure, I would throw in the towel. The repetitive cycle of giving up on these systems left me helpless. I felt like my home was always controlling me, and I desperately wanted it the other way around. Sound familiar? It wasn’t until I discovered the concept of daily rhythms, that I really finally found my footing in motherhood. Setting myself up for success didn’t look like a chart of completed…
