If your family's anything like mine, messes around the house can spin out of control pretty quickly. Keeping up with day to day tasks can sometimes feel so overwhelming that I end up losing track of the last time I dusted or vacuumed. Thanks to a serious case of mommy-brain, I knew I needed some way to track what was being done and when so it was printable time. I made this printable a few months ago, and it's been working out really well. It helps me stay organized and on track with both ...Continue Reading
Momopause
Right now, you may be asking yourself, "What is momopause, and how do I know if I have it?" Let's take a look at the symptoms: You find yourself constantly worrying about whether or not every carbon based life form within a ten mile radius of your current location has enough to eat and drink. If you're related to or have spawned said life, distance becomes irrelevant. You find yourself encouraging those who claim to have eaten enough to have "just a little more." You'd prefer a ...Continue Reading
Renewed Utensil Drawer
My utensil drawer is officially my new favorite part of my house. If I could have a "Honey I shrunk the kids" adventure in that beautifully organized slice of heaven I would. Here's a glimpse at the before... Scary, wasn't it. That drawer was been the bane of my existence for over a year. It was packed with tons of little gadgets and cooking goodies that all aim to help make the cooking experience easier. However, on a good day I was lucky to get it open; finding what I needed was a ...Continue Reading
5 Tips for a Happy Marriage
I am by no means an expert, and compared to many I'm still a rookie when it comes to this whole marriage thing, but in honor of my 5th wedding anniversary I thought I'd share some things that have helped my husband and I have a happier marriage. 1) It's cliche, but communicate. Let me guess, you've heard this one before. That's because it really is the cornerstone of a healthy, happy relationship. In my opinion, it's extremely important to avoid playing games with people.

40 Bags in 40 Days Update: Free Printable
My 40 Bags in 40 Days project came to a grinding halt a few weeks ago as I started to get more and more uncomfortable carrying bambino #4. I never anticipated doing a bag a day because I knew some days I'd do more than one and other days I wouldn't get around to it at all, but I now only have 15 days left to complete my little decluttering mission, and I still have 30 bags to go (gulp!) In an effort to both motivate myself and successfully complete this challenge I created a printable to ...Continue Reading

40 Bags in 40 Days
One of my favorite blogs is Memories on Clover Lane through which author Sarah shares her experiences as a mother of 6. She's passionate about living an organized, uncluttered lifestyle, and she's inspired me to follow in her footsteps. I've decided to get rid of 40 Bags of Stuff in 40 Days. It sounds kind of overwhelming, doesn't it? Do we really have enough junk to get rid of that we can fill 40 bags? Sadly, we could probably double or triple that number and never miss a thing, but I'm ...Continue Reading
Meal Planning
Update! I've created a new version of my Grocery Shopping List to coordinate with other documents I've recently made. I made these weekly meal planning and grocery shopping papers to help me plan our meals and make my grocery shopping trips as efficient as possible. I love grocery lists that are organized by product type and store location because I hate to grocery shop, and I enjoy it even less when I reach the end of a trip only to realize the last item I need is at the other end of the ...Continue Reading
