  • Curate your life with this Monthly Goal Worksheet

    January 3, 2023 /

    The start of each month calls for a fresh spread and a fresh outlook on the life you want to be living. The start of a new year? We feel this pressure to refresh and reinvent even more.

Or maybe I have been feeling so frazzled in the busyness that my focus should shift to more personal self care? Now, the monthly goal setting worksheet from the TAP Planner System, is available in a simple, single sheet, printable friendly instant download! What does…

  • Going Simple: Storage Organization and Decluttering

    November 21, 2022 /

    Week Five of The Going Simple Challenge, we discuss storage organization and decluttering for the remaining spaces in your home, and how they can serve you best. Are the things we store in the remaining areas of our home necessary? Once we start decluttering and reassessing the storage organization in our home, we uncover what we truly wanted our home to feel like all along. Find Your Why before you start decluttering your storage spots! The first thing you need to do is define what you want from each space. The coming days are yours to reshape and rediscover your home. This week you get to use these decision muscles…

  • Homemade Hot Cocoa on the Stove Top

    November 17, 2022 /

    A hot cocoa recipe worth the effort of a three minute stove top stir, I promise! This is our go to for those cold winter days when the kids want something to do… and something sweet to eat! Whipping up a fresh batch of homemade hot cocoa is a regular request in our home, and I’m not complaining about it! Made with everything you already have in your pantry, you won’t find any fancy random ingredients required in this homemade hot cocoa. Rich. Decadent. Sweet. Delicious. Creamy. And OH SO GOOD. Hot Cocoa Nostalgia, party of two. I previously shared this homemade hot cocoa recipe on my Instagram page when…

  • Going Simple: Clothing Organization and Decluttering

    November 7, 2022 /

    Week Three of The Going Simple Challenge, we declutter + clothing organization. Clothing organization and clutter holds us to a different standard. It just feels more personal. We purchase clothing in hopes of who we want to become. Or maybe 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 this specific season of life. That is where we feel most frustration with clothing organization and decluttering. As we enter into our clothing storage this week, we might feel things like defeat, guilt, discouragement. This week we are going to focus on the…

    Week One of The Going Simple Challenge, we pace ourselves with bathroom organization, decluttering and progress, while keeping life first. It’s here! Week One of the Going Simple Challenge: bathrooms. During this challenge we are going to focus on building our decision making muscle with some bathroom organization, and decluttering too! We are also going to work on making progress. But most importantly, we will work on slowing down to enjoy life. So after you finish decluttering, refreshing and organizing your bathrooms this week, you may be tempted to “jump ahead.” But I ask, instead let’s stop. Rest. Relax. And enjoy the progress we’ve made for just a bit. Then,…

    October 14, 2022 /

    Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my favorites to make with littles. Sweet and sugary, soft in the middle and just the right crunch! Feel free to use a hand mixer or a stand unit for this dough, these snickerdoodle cookies mix up easily with softened butter. We find pre-greasing cookie sheets works well with this recipe (even for nonstick) to insure the cookies slide right off the tray when done. Check out this simple trick for spraying your baking pans! Tips for Baking With Littles This recipe is so simple, and *actually* fun to make with the kids. They love swirling the snickerdoodle cookie balls in the cinnamon sugar coating…

Why share this? Because I held on to my coffee dep Why share this? Because I held on to my coffee dependency every day because I was scared of quitting. I had heard some horror stories of how bad quitting it was. And I was wimping out. 
While working with my provider, recent lab results showed how severely my body was stuck in fight or flight mode, and I knew I had to make changes for myself. Coffee was one of the first (and actually easiest) habits I needed to address. 
And while some personalities do well with tapering out a habit, others do not. Hi, I’m the others! šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø I knew if I didn’t quit cold turkey I probably wouldn’t be successful. 
So I swapped my coffee with other warm mugs like herbal teas and hot lemon water, and I just went for it. 
The fatigue on days one and two were present, not going to lie! But they definitely weren’t as bad as I had anticipated. The headache, now that was pretty miserable. However, overall it only really lasted about a day and a half. And looking back, was NOTHING to be scared of! 
Curious about ditching caffeine? Have you done it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts or questions! 
PS… I don’t plan to stay cold turkey forever. I actually had a small cup on day 6 and I was surprised how INSTANTLY I felt the caffeine induced anxiety kick in. I actually haven’t had a drop of caffeine since, because in this moment it just doesn’t feel worth it. šŸ¤Ž

Do you try before you buy?! The amount of money Do you try before you buy?! 
The amount of money we save by shopping our home before heading out to buy something we ā€˜need’ … I wish I had kept a running total all these years! Received this cute little buddy as a gift, but had no small planters on hand. Welp… that’s nothing a little creative thinking, a quick shop your home moment, a few coffee mugs and some bristle blocks can’t fix! Just don’t tell my kids about the blocks part. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
