  • The Practical Cloffice: How to Achieve A Functional Workspace

    December 9, 2020 /

    Welcome to 2020. When home, work, school and play are required to coexist within the walls of our home. This is basically a Simplicity Coach‘s dream come true. Needing to reduce clutter visually and in storage components. Create functional organization. Blend multiple purposes into one room or space. AND make it look nice! Challenge Accepted! Closets are one of my fave spaces to tackle. Who says a closet needs to be cluttered? Stuffed to the brim? Unorganized? Boring? No matter the closet location, we always focus on a few main goals. Create a happy space where eye level hits. Cleared floors and top shelves whenever possible. Cohesive organization, implemented in…

  • PARENTING :: Find Your One Good Mom Thing

    November 14, 2019 /

    In early motherhood I was so stumped how other mom’s were doing it. How they were happy and thriving. I looked at my children and was lost on how to actually spend time with them. I didn’t connect with my kids on anything because I was so overwhelmed with the thought of doing everything. As they got older, and I grew more comfortable as mom, I realized I was failing them because I was trying to do it all. And I was trying to do it all well. Realistically in life, we aren’t good at everything, right? So why would we think in motherhood that our skill set should be…

  • PARENTING :: Realistic Parenting Tips

    August 7, 2019 /

    It’s no joke that parenting today needs to come with a whole new handbook of rules, tips and tricks. Momming today is hard, with all the new gadgets, social dimensions and pressure to be the self sufficient, multi faceted, do it all mom. I’m five years in with three kids (plus one in the oven). And I’ve learned some sh*t. I’ve learned enough to know that I don’t know anything. So I did decide to scrounge up the few truths I have acquired to pass along to any other mom about to embark on this so called “journey toward motherhood.” Some of the links in the post are a part…

  • PARENTING :: hospitality

    April 12, 2019 /

    Oh boy… Hospitality. That one word is enough to make this hermit-hearted mama’s palms sweat. I prefer nights alone on the couch curled up any day over hosting others, or even being hosted for that matter. Mainly because hosting is so. much. work.  But today’s devotional gave light to another angle of hospitality that I’m honestly admitting I’d never gave serious thought to.  Why do we host? The point of inviting others into our home is to serve and to make them feel good. Of course!  It’s so easy to get caught up in the preparation of it all, especially if you’re a recovering addict of perfection seeking. I hate to…

  • PARENTING :: humility+pride

    April 11, 2019 /

    Last night I fell asleep thinking about how very important to me it is to teach our girls to be humble. Above anything else, it’s really my number one quality to instill in them. I sat on it, thought about it, and prayed on it up until I fell asleep. And then this morning’s devotion was about, you guessed it, HUMILITY. Well that was about enough to send shivers down my spine. But for real talk, if I can teach my children one thing, to be humble in all they do, receive and give. Then I will consider this job done well. Any other humility seekers out there? 🙋🏻‍♀️ So…

    April 9, 2019 /

    It’s hard for me to write today’s post because it’s a large self admission of failure. And who wants to openly admit they’ve failed?! And failed. And failed. But I feel so compelled to share because if I’m struggling through this, I know others are too. Today’s devotional in the #nomoreperfectmoms series hit me like a ton of bricks. Because yesterday was a day. My toddler has entered the “do it myself” phase. Which, while super exciting and such a huge milestone for her, is literal torture for me. One of my biggest struggles in motherhood is letting go of my ideal, and allowing my children to lead the way…

    To preface: I’m not going through a crisis in my current season of life. We have no struggles with infidelity. I’m not fighting any major battles health wise, or the like. I share none of the major storylines of this book. I’m somewhere in that in between phase, stuck in the middle of the high highs, and the low lows. And for me, this is one of the scarier spots to be. Because I fear the unknown of what’s next. Will it be an amazing opportunity for our family? Or will a heart wrenching catastrophe be on the horizon. The inability to control the unknown is a major fear for…

WHAT’S UP WEDNESDAY?!?! I can feel the kids stuf WHAT’S UP WEDNESDAY?!?! I can feel the kids stuff creeping out of control! #unfilteredswipe, party of one!  Just like we reset our adult spaces, the kids and I reset theirs. Small resets daily make a big difference. So we work it into their daily rhythms. In today’s blog post (and oldie but a goodie), I share the benefits of encouraging independence in your kids daily rhythms, and of course I have this free printable included too!  Join me in stories today as we tackle our quarterly toy purge + chat about daily rhythms for kids!
Fresh spread, endless possibilities! Getting a lit Fresh spread, endless possibilities! Getting a little inspo from some household friends this morning. 🪴 I can’t wait to show you when I’m done! 🤩  The rain this morning reminded me spring is right around the corner. Perfect motivation for a fresh start this month and clarifying a few goals + trackers in my monthly spread. What are you hoping this month brings?  Also... please enjoy this #unfilteredswipe of my Sunday morning view. Life with four kids is never dull.
Each week for #throwitthursday I give a space in o Each week for #throwitthursday I give a space in our home a little love. Nothing big or crazy. Maybe just purge a drawer, or tidy a closet.  Today, I chose to focus on contentment in our living room. It’s always been one of my lesser fave spaces. So I’m choosing to give it some love for #throwitthursday and shop our home to use what we already own. It definitely spruced up the space a bit and makes it more homey for sure!  And because Eric and I are opposite, per usual, which is your fave #unfilteredswipe? Colorful spine out, or book pages out?!
I’m curious, when did our perception of successf I’m curious, when did our perception of successful relationships become so heavily weighted by negative quotes sprinkled all over social media? Am I the only one whose fallen victim to them?  In early marriage I struggled. I was suckered in to quotes implying marriage was one size fits all. And when our marriage didn’t fit, I felt like a failure.  So today on the blog I’m sharing our early marriage experience and how we choose to combat anti marriage culture with some marriage positivity, date night check ins, and this FREE Date Night Check In printable! 
(( link in bio ))  A little nervous today. 😬 Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this one!
My goal this week, dream. There’s a necessary hu My goal this week, dream. There’s a necessary human element missing from our lives and it has a lot to do with embracing the empty space + letting our minds wander. We set our children up for boredom so they can grow in creativity, imagination and independent thought. But what about us? I think we need a little bit of boredom too. What do you think? Are you craving the quiet of boredom?  Loving this weekly spread more and more as I embrace the empty space. Not going to lie, at first it felt a little awkward. But I’m loving pushing the boundaries, and even letting a little bit of that creative space spill into the structure of my day columns. 😍 TAP planner is available for digital download on my blog, link in bio!

I can tell they need some love.  #unfilteredswipe I get the vibe Zoe the ZZ isn’t doing too hot. I mean maybe I’m wrong, but it’s legit like I can sense her mood and she isn’t happy. I’m crazy, right?! Thinking she needs a new spot for a while. All and any input welcome! 🙏🏻
