I’ll start with the office upgrade and my favorite products and then move on to digital organizing and… Read More Fave home office products + digital organization
After our excessive screen time over winter break, I knew we needed a change. So I’ve put some new routines in place. I didn’t “announce” it to the kids so they wouldn’t feel like something was being taken away. Instead I tried to make it fun and implement new ideas little by little. Then something… Read More Less screen time with older kids and preteens
The holidays are over and if your house is like mine, it’s cluttered with new presents and out of sorts from decorating and … let’s say “well lived in.” My goal — I guess you could say New Year’s resolution — is to declutter each space in our home and make it as functional as… Read More Organize and simplify the whole house

This week I added a few touches of fall to our home. I decided earlier this year that I would not be buying any new fall or Christmas decor so I am shopping what I already have!
