Easy Savory Dinner Recipe: Green Bean Skillet
It’s full of rich beefy flavor, it’s melty and cheesy, and it packs a mean veggie punch! The best part is the savory + cheesy flavor helps mask the greens, meaning even our pickiest eater asks for seconds! This recipe is so simple and uses only one pan. We love using our cast iron but a regular pan / skillet would work too! Love Your Cast Iron Skillet with these 5 simple tips! The links in the post are a part of the Amazon Affiliates Program.

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…
Function Meets Family of Six in our new Laundry + Mudroom
Each week as part of the TAP Planner system, I pick an area of focus to simplify our home or life. Sometimes it’s a personal goal (movement or reading more), and other weeks I focus on a home project or task. This week’s Go Simple Focus is resetting our laundry space. Broken down into bite sized tasks, yesterday I decluttered the entire space. And today I actually scrubbed this room head to toe for the first time since we moved in six months ago! So I thought I might as well take some snapshots and share the space with you today! Here’s a peek inside the laundry + mudroom that…
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. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 I don’t know about you, but I need a constant reminder of the goodness that is permanently planted within me. I need this visual to help me step up when darkness tries to take over my days, my attitude, my behaviors, my motherhood and sometimes even my marriage. Because darkness can creep in anywhere if we let it. “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear…

Updating the Big Girls’ Room with New Bedding
If you live anywhere with internet + you’re a mom = you’ve probably heard of Beddy’s Bedding. It feels like they’re everywhere. Many (almost all) big bloggers have and recommend them! They’re highly reviewed as “The bed that makes itself!” and claim to be the solution to a multitude of problems with kid’s bedding. Especially when it comes to unkempt messy beds that never get made + a stellar solution for hard to make bunk beds! Long story short… I tagged Beddy’s in an IG stories the other week while sharing a few bunk bed making tips, because some of you have shared with me that you have + love…
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…
Going Simple with Storage
How to tackle storage spaces in your home. This week, let’s really consider what we are keeping in the remaining areas of our home. Are the things we store actually necessary? Are they truly purposeful to our daily lives? Once we take a hard look at the rest of our spaces we realize a lot of it we don’t actually need after all. These spaces might even be large sources of frustration. This week is the time to face items that we maybe never needed in the first place! It might feel scary to face some daunting spaces of indecision. But I want you to think about how far you’ve…
Going Simple with Toys
Plus a FREE Printable to get you started! Week four, TOYS! One of the most impactful weeks in a home with children. When we first decided to go simpler in our home, we were overrun with toys. The first Christmas after Going Simple, we were gifted over 50 toys between extended family. I don’t know about you, but our home cannot hold 50 toys, let alone 50 new sets on top of the toys we already own. Since going simple, we’ve requested family give intentionally. We recommend gifts that fall into the following categories: edible treats, experiences, arts and craft supplies (perishable!), and toys with intention and purpose. Did you…
Going Simple With Our Clothing
Are we really at WEEK THREE already?! This challenge has been flying by! Thanks for being here and I’m praying this challenge is blessing your home and your heart. For some reason clothing can hold us to a different standard. I think maybe because we purchase clothing in hopes of who we want to become. Or we are holding on to someone we once were. But maybe the most unfortunate of all is that often, our clothing does not represent who we actually are. In these very moments. And these moments, we will never get them back. So this week, let’s try to tune into where our feet stand currently. And let’s…
