  • Take the 2022 Phone Detox Challenge

    September 14, 2022 /

    There’s a reason you came to this blog post! Maybe it’s because you feel like crap as you’ve succumbed to yet another doom scroll on social and it’s only 10 AM.  Maybe it’s because you’re mortified of how many times a day you tell your kids to “just wait a second” while you prioritize what’s on your screen. OR maybe it’s because you recognize your phone use is off balance and you want to create firm boundaries for a better lifestyle. Whatever your reason, I’m glad you’re here!  And PS… I’m guilty of all of the above too. Take The 2022 Phone Detox For 10 days we are saying goodbye to…

  • Encourage Independence in Kids with Daily Rhythms

    August 29, 2022 /

    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…

  • Easy Savory Dinner Recipe: Green Bean Skillet

    July 20, 2022 /

    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.

  • Function Meets Family of Six in our new Laundry + Mudroom

    February 9, 2022 /

    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)

    February 2, 2022 /

    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

    November 17, 2021 /

    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

    November 8, 2021 /

    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…

  • Simple and Delish: How To Make Pumpkin Spice Puree

    October 13, 2021 /

    Pumpkin Spice Latte season is upon us! I have never had luck finding a store bought creamer I liked, but when I fell upon the DIY recipe world I was determined to find a mix that fit my taste buds! I love this recipe because it’s adjustable to each person, it’s fun to play around with, it keeps well in the fridge, and it’s great on so many things, not just coffee! So let’s get started and let’s make some homemade PSL! Homemade Pumpkin Spice Puree First step is to gather your ingredients!

  • Going Simple 2021: Setting boundaries and going easy on ourselves

    September 30, 2021 /

    Hey guys! So glad you are joining me for another round of the Going Simple Challenge. This year, some things will be the same! But some things will look a little different. Let’s chat about that quick. It’s no mystery that the last few years we have been going through it. I think it would be silly of me to come onto your screens with the same energy that I have brought previous years. Because honestly, especially when it comes to social media, I don’t have it. And I’m guessing some of you are in the same boat. So as we start the 2021 Going Simple Challenge, I think we…

What are you currently reading? I am onto Little F What are you currently reading? I am onto Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, so far, intrigued for sure! 
I haven’t had a Kindle in years. A few things I am loving about the kindle now: 
Libby app has a ‘Skip The Line’ section. I check it regularly to grab new titles I’m waitlisted forever on. It’s like the library’s Lucky Shelf, but for e-books!
You can change your screensaver to the book cover of your current read. Makes it feel more bookish. 😂
That it is so slim it fits in my cute little ‘mom of big kids’ purse so I don’t have to lug a full sized book everywhere with me. 
Dark mode, a night vision option, so I don’t feel like I’m staring at a screen at night in bed. 😂
Have a kindle tip to share? I’m all ears!
In other news… Saturday’s are meant for coffee and books in bed and I won’t have it any other way. Well… until the kids get older and we probably have to start sacrificing these slow mornings for activities. 😅 Until then… you can find me here. 🥰

Hear me out… We used to rug. But they’re heav Hear me out…
We used to rug. But they’re heavy, they don’t dry, they fall apart when you wash them regularly. Just so many reasons not to. 
So now, we hang a small towel nearby and lay it down when we shower. 
We hang it up to dry when we are done. 
And it gets washed regularly. 
Simple. 
What do you think? Team bathroom rug? Or no rug?
