    November 26, 2019 /

    Here’s the deal friends. I could list off like 50 things that you should buy this holiday season. But I most certainly DO NOT want to contribute to unnecessary spending or clutter in your home! So here are the top FEW items we L-O-V-E and use every. single. day. We own every item on this list, in our home. We have chosen to slowly invest in these larger, quality purchases because of how they contribute positively to our family. These products have helped simplify our home, lessen our workload, embrace slower living, and become a healthier, more unified family. Above and beyond these items, I cannot express how greatly we…

  • HOW WE DO :: Christmas + Gifts for Kids

    November 10, 2019 /

    How We Do :: Christmas Gifts We keep Christmas gifts very minimal for our kids. Just today, we walked down the aisles of Target and asked the girls what they wanted for Christmas, their response “I don’t know.” For us, filling that gift void with toys isn’t worth the financial investment. Also, family and friends gift our children generously enough in that department! We focus on gifting experience gifts (days bowling, outings to the ice cream shop, etc.), as well as arts and craft supplies. These are the two gifts in our home that our kids love the most! Amazon is having some awesome Crayola deals today, so in about…

    September 23, 2019 /

    Laying in bed last night, I felt the strongest conviction. All these emotions came up. About where I started as a mom, and a wife. As a woman. And where I am now. So much work to do still. But I feel like I’m finally settling in to my jeans. You know? Like a really nice pair of jeans. Where they fit great, they’re breaking in in all the right places. And your confidence starts to get downright dangerous. If you’re an office fan, think Michael Scott in his jeans. Girl, that’s how I’m feeling about LIFE right now. And it’s not that I came here to toot my own…

    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…

  • 10 Gifts For The Minimalist, The Person Who Has Everything, Or The Person Who Hates Everything

    October 23, 2018 /

    So you’ve found yourself here, on my tiny little blog. Welcome! I’m guessing because one too many gift giving incidents have gone bad. Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure we’ve all been there. If you were at my wedding, and you heard my brothers’ speeches, you know that I am the queen of a sour poker face when it comes to receiving gifts. I consider it as a compliment. It means I’m a horrible liar. 😉 Maybe you’re here because you have someone who simply already has All. The. Things. And finding a gift that’s new and will be loved is an impossible task. Ooooor, maybe you’re here because a loved…

Um… we’ve got a situation over here. 🪺 Chec Um… we’ve got a situation over here. 🪺 Checked the nest this AM and our egg count is 4 sparrow and 2 cowbird. 😅 If you missed the bird drama, check my highlight called ‘birds’ on my profile to catch up! Nest stealers, baby ditchers, bird imposters. I am not a bird person, so this ‘Real Birds of House of Eilers is honestly too much for me to handle. 😅😳😫 Guys… I just want my porch back!

I love so many things our library does, but most of all, I love that they offer personalized book bundles for kids!
➡️ Swipe for an example of the email I sent today when requesting a new book bundle! 
I share because I remember how nervous I was the first time I stepped into a library as a mom. Heck I barely went into the library in college! 😅 New things can be super intimidating, especially as a mom! 
But the resources librarians provide are AMAZING and if you haven’t yet, you should totally reach out to your local library to see what they offer. 
Have you visited your local library?
Do you have ice cream in your freezer right now? A Do you have ice cream in your freezer right now? Apparently 87% of Americans have it at home in stock at any given time! IDK why but I find this statistic fascinating as an ice cream lover!
We just restocked ours with a gallon of vanilla from @kwiktrip, it’s on sale for #dairydays right now for $4.99! 
I paired it with some root beer from the pantry for root beer floats, and they totally hit the spot! 
What’s your fave way to serve vanilla ice cream? Root beer, toppings, plain and simple, or something else?!

Two things that are hard for me… chicken recipes AND summer dinners. 😅 We aren’t always home in the afternoon, it’s too hot to turn on the oven, and we’d rather be outside having fun vs inside prepping a meal. Also, idk why but we just get burnt out on the same chicken recipes! During the summer, the easier the recipe, the better. 🤩

Do you think there’s an easy answer to simplifyi Do you think there’s an easy answer to simplifying your home and life? I feel like everyone is searching for THE answer, but in my opinion, its never that easy. 
Finished up a coaching call this afternoon and just sent off her action plan! Often I coach on decluttering and organizing physical spaces, but calls like today, where I am helping brainstorm rhythms specific to my client’s family and their needs…. these are some of my favorites! 🤩 
No two homes are the same. And no two families are the same! This is why I value one on one coaching so much. Because the right solution for one family is almost never the same for another. 
Swipe for a peak at my assistant. She said I’m done working for the day. 😂
