The must have Baby Essentials you need before your baby arrives + a free checklist
Friday, July 24
When I was pregnant with my first baby, I did all the research into exactly what newborn baby essentials that I needed to buy before the baby came. And guess what? I quickly became overwhelmed with all of the things everyone was saying to register for. I also wanted my home to remain my home and not turn into a baby superstore. How in the world was I going to do that when everyone was saying "buy all the baby stuff"?!
I worked really hard to pick and choose exactly what items I needed for my new baby. And now, after having 4 babies, I feel that I'm an expert when it comes to maintaining a organized home and cutting out the baby clutter, while still having all the newborn essentials and baby necessities that you need to have.
And I am here to tell you that YES! It is possible to keep your the baby gear to a minimum so that you aren't tripping over all the baby things in the middle of the night! No, you do not need 5000+ items for your newborn baby to survive, but there are several baby items that you are going to need and things I consider essential.
4 Tips to Organizing Toys
Monday, June 22
You all know my love or organizing. I've talked at length about keeping my house toy free, how I organize craft supplies, tips and tricks to keeping toys organized, talked about challenges to overcome when organizing, what to do with kids clothes, and more. Since I am a natural organizer, you would think that by now, my kids have also turned into natural organizers and perfect little people who always know how to keep their toys picked up and off the floor. Ha, if only!
Despite my best efforts, my little people are natural mess makers. If they had it their way, we would be buried in a sea of legos, barbies, coloring supplies, dinosaurs, and constantly stepping on all the things. Fortunately though, thanks to several functional storage systems in place, this is not our reality.
I have found several things that help immensely when it comes to keeping all my children toys, treasures, and things neatly organized at the end of the day. I am confident that if I can maintain a level of organization in my home with my 4 mess makers, so can you. Here are some of my best tips and tricks when it comes to keeping all the things in order around the house.

65+ Things To Do When Staying Home
Thursday, April 2
Hello Friends! How is everyone doing these days? Our country and the world is in an unprecedented time. I can't ever remember a time when everything came to a standstill, state governors are issuing stay-at-home orders, we are having a toilet paper shortage, and people were practicing social distancing for weeks on end!
It is easy to feel worried and anxious about what is going on outside our homes. But I want to challenge you to take some time to focus on the positive side of things - (I get to stay home in my jammies all day while drinking wine, eating chocolate, and binge watching Netflix!). But no matter where you fall, we all need to do a self check in and ask ourselves - "How am I doing? How is my mental health? What do I need to change up or do differently?". Mental health is so important! I encourage you to ask yourself these questions and be honest with yourself. If you need help, reach out. Remember that how you respond sets off a chain reaction in those around you.

The Secret to Simplifying Meal Planning
Wednesday, January 15
Who has made a goal to eat healthier this year? Or just to get better planning out your meals for the week? I've talked before about meal prep and kitchen tools you need to simplify cooking, but have never touched on meal planning. So today that is what I'm going to do, go into detail about meal planning. Simplified meal planning that is.
Many times we tend to overcomplicate things and this is so true when thinking about what to eat each week. You think that you have to get everything perfect and create these fantastic meals for your family. So, you try some new meal planning system that has way too many complicated steps and then you end up getting too overwhelmed with it all, and you give up before you get started. Or, you are on a great roll and have things planned out for a few weeks, but life happens and suddenly you find yourself behind once more. Does this sound like you? I know I've struggled with this exact thing!
Organizing Christmas Decor
Tuesday, December 31
It's that time of year to start taking down all of the beautiful Christmas decorations and putting them back in storage! Is anyone else ready to do this just yet? I just packed up all of my holiday decorations and put them away. It was a bit sad to take everything down but I am very happy to start the new year off with a clean and organized house. I was surprised to find it only took me 3-4 hours over the course of 2 evenings to put everything away. The 1st evening I did everything but our 2 Christmas trees (main and children's) and the 2nd evening I had lots of help from the littles in taking the trees down (thanks kids!).
