  • 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…

    October 31, 2022 /

  • Going Simple: Bathroom Organization and Decluttering

    October 24, 2022 /

    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,…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Simplify the joys of motherhood: Ditch the guilt with One Good Mom Thing

    March 17, 2021 /

    In early motherhood I was so stumped how other mom’s were doing it. How they were happy and thriving. I often felt so lost in how to actually connect with them, without feeling like a failure. I didn’t connect with my kids on anything because I was so overwhelmed with the thought of doing everything. As they got older I grew more comfortable in my mom shoes (figuratively, and literally, I’m lookin at you, sensible loafers with arch support 😉 ). Because I felt the need to love ALL of motherhood, I was missing out on finding joy in the parts I actually did like! It is okay to not…

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. 🥰

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?
