  • 5 Tips for Less Mealtime Drama

    February 8, 2019 /

    And More Clean Plate Club I feel like it’s safe to assume you’re probably a member of the Chicken Nuggets Club (I’m an honorary member myself). And THAT’S OKAY. At the end of the day, you are feeding your kid, so you are doing your job! I know for our family, I just felt like I could do better as a parent, or at least, try a bit harder. So I tried a lot of things. A lot. We have come a LONG way with mealtimes, and I’m so excited to share with you what works. 1. Let them decide. Nope. That wasn’t a typo. All our kids want is…

  • Simple Pantry Organization That Won’t Break The Bank

    January 2, 2019 /

    I love that we are all starting the year off with a big simplifying kick! Having a team approach definitely helps keep the motivation; hopefully it’s the same for you. Organizing pantries and kitchen cupboards is one of the main questions I receive. And I hear you, our kitchen in our old home was an organizational nightmare! Our cupboards were constantly overflowing. The links in the post are a part of the Amazon Affiliates Program. This means I get a small percentage back from Amazon from any potential purchase. This is what keeps my blog running, and keeps me home with my babies every day. So thank you for your…

    RECIPE :: Zuppa Toscana Soup

As a mom of four daughters, and lots of toys with As a mom of four daughters, and lots of toys with TINY pieces, I’ve found the easiest way to store these items is just to toss ‘em in a bin. Our kids seem to play regardless of how organized their toys are. 
I do agree with the sentiment “less is always more” to encourage and spark the urge to play! But when it comes to fancy organization, sorry, that’s never been our jam. 
In fact? Half the time, the toy bins are all intermixed and guess what… the kids still play! I usually only sort them back out when I’m going through a toy declutter, and I fully recognize I’m sorting and organizing primarily for MY OWN satisfaction. 
That being said, no two kids, and no two toy collections, are the same. So when it comes to setting up organization in your home, be it a play space or a bathroom cabinet, do it so it works for YOU. 
What are your thoughts?

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! 🙋🏻‍♀️ 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. 🤎

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 ‘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. 😂😂 
What’s one think you’ve shopped your home for recently?
