    4 Tips for a Stress-Free Thanksgiving

    October 24, 2018 /

    The holidays are upon us! Believe it or not Halloween is next week?! Though it feels like everyone is jumping straight from Halloween to Christmas, there is another scrumptious holiday in there we can’t forget about.  Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is a time to gather with our people over a delicious meal. A time to reflect on the last year and soak up our many blessings. It is meant to be a time of relaxation, fellowship and re-connection with those we hold most dear.  Maybe you play host or maybe you travel with your contributions tucked neatly in Tupperware. Perhaps your family enjoys some after-meal football watching or maybe an all-night/early morning…

    My Late Thanksgiving Recap

    December 4, 2013 /

    I am roughly 3 days behind the rest of the blog world with my “Thanksgiving Recap” but hey, I’m pregnant and it takes time to recover from a 4 day Holiday weekend. This Thanksgiving we spent the day at my family’s. I love getting to go home and be in the country again. It is so much more peaceful out here. This year I was horrible at taking pictures and only captured this picture of my adorable little nephew. I know I’m carrying what I will think is the cutest babe in the world but this little man is so cute. I mean look at those chubby cheeks!! Even though…

  • Do you keep a monthly running to-do list?
.
I found that all the to-dos floating around in my head were constantly leaving me feeling stressed and overwhelmed. It always seemed like something new popped up every few minutes and trying to remember the last thing was impossible.
.
Then I started using a monthly to-do list. Simply put, a list where all those floating thoughts can be put down, organized, and actually taken care of. .
Whether paper or digital, a running to-do list is a great tool for all busy moms.

  • Spent some time over the weekend organizing our pantry cabinets. As much as I would love a walk-in pantry it is not in the design of our kitchen, but we make it work.
.
👉Tips to make a cabinet space work:
1. Soda racks for canned goods. It is easy to for canned goods to get lost in a deep cabinet but these racks allow the cans to roll forward and for us to see exactly what we have. 
2. Bins, bins, bins! Taking products out of the original package and putting them into bins allows us to quickly see what we have. 
3. Clear Canisters. I like to use clear canisters for our cereals and snacks. Because the design of our cabinet is deep, I opted for the bigger canisters to fill the space.

  • Getting seasonal gear in order can be a struggle. With winter comes coats, hats, mittens, and more and with summer we have sunscreen and ball caps. It is easy to misplace items... especially when the items are multiplied by kiddos and the hubs.
.
To keep our seasonal gear organized I have dedicated our coat closet just off the garage as the home for all these pieces.
.
Check out the link in my bio to read my #newpost and get details on how I easily and affordably organize our seasonal gear.

Where does your seasonal gear live?

  • Our entryway used to be one giant pile of shoes, discarded toddler socks, and bags from the day's activities.
.
I would became instantly frustrated when I saw this space! I very much hated having to pick up the shoes and bags. And it seemed like no matter how much sorting I did no one else in the house followed suit.
.
Solving this problem required finding a home for each piece in the pile. Utilizing a shelf gave the shoes a home and the hooks made a great place for lightweight bags and other accessories. .
Now when guests are over they are greeted with a tidy entryway and not the clutter of our existence. .

  • What do your end tables look like?
.
With our kiddos running around like crazy I found out quickly how stressful having expensive lamps and knick-knacks on display could be.
.
These days I keep our end tables clear except for this single picture that my kiddos love to look at and a green plant. Confession: this is the second plant living in this planter because my thumb isn't the greenest!

  • Easy and affordable! These bins were less than a dollar at #meijer and fit the shelf and folded clothing perfectly.
.
I love being able to find working solutions that don't cost a fortune. I also love being able to find clothing quickly! .
What room in your home do you feel needs some organizational love?

  • Took some time last week to organize my side of the closet. Revamping the master closet and making it work more for us is on our list of household projects. But for now, we have to make it work. Organizing the clothing in an easy to see way, makes finding pieces easy.
. 
The process started with sorting through all of the items of clothing. It is amazing how quickly articles of clothing can add up. From pre-baby, growing baby, to post-baby, there have been several "styles" of clothing. It was freeing to let go of the old bits from college and before. .
I opted for the #konmari method of folding for some pieces but stuck with hangers for most of the sweaters and blouses.
