The excess clutter in our homes can be such a burden to carry.
The worst part is, we sometimes don’t even realize how much this excess is dragging us down until we finally allow ourselves to become free from it.
I’ve learned a lot over the past few years of simplifying my life and striving to live as clutter-free as possible.
And let me say…as a Mom of two with a 2-year-old and 2-month-old, it certainly hasn’t been easy trying to keep our home and lives simplified. As our children grow and require new clothes or items to accommodate their ever-evolving needs, it is definitely work to keep up with the constant flow of items coming into our home.
It’s all I can do sometimes to make sure our stuff isn’t swallowing us whole. But even though there is significant effort required in maintaining a (mostly) clutter-free home in this season of my life, I know for a fact that it’s worth it.
Living this way has improved our lives in more ways than I can count. [Read more…]
When life gets crazy, healthy and homemade meals are usually the last thing I’m concerned about and takeout becomes a bit too much of a staple in our house.
We found this to be especially true after we brought our second baby home 9 weeks ago. And I think on day 12 in a row of takeout for dinner, I finally reached my breaking point and decided that something needed to change. I needed to find a strategy to simplify weeknight meals to make getting healthy and home cooked dinners on the table a possibility, even with a 2-year-old and newborn making things around here absolute chaos at times.
In the past few weeks, I’ve come up with a few different tips to simplify weeknight meals that I wanted to share with you all! Whether you’re in a busy season of life and struggle to find the time to make meals at home, or you just loathe cooking and want to reduce the amount of time you have to spend in your kitchen, I hope you find these tips helpful!

I am beyond excited to officially announce that my Savor the Holidays mini course is back for its second holiday season!
So many of you said you enjoyed participating last year that I decided to offer the course again this year for those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to take it yet 🙂
As much as we all wish the holidays were purely relaxing, the truth is that this time of year has a way of making us feel frenzied and unable to appreciate how wonderful the holiday season can be.
Last year I had enough of the stress and busyness that accompanies the holiday season and decided to finally do something about it! I wanted the holidays to be different for not only my family and I, but for you and your families as well. I want us all to be able to have a rich holiday season filled with mindfulness and creating meaningful memories!
In the spirit of making sure that happens, I created a wonderful mini course called Savor the Holidays. I would love for you to join me in this 21 day mini course that is designed to guide you through slowing down and soaking up all of the joy this holiday season. [Read more…]
A few weeks ago I sat at my kitchen table that was piled high with paperwork I needed to sort through and took a good look around me. There were mounds of dirty dishes, crumbs that were days old, and toys strewn everywhere.
I couldn’t help but wonder what the hell had happened. [Read more…]
Unless you’re an extreme minimalist, I can guarantee that at some point in your life you have looked around your home and wondered when the heck you accumulated all of this crap.
Maybe you’ve even wondered where most of it came from or how it wound up hiding in the depths of your closets or lurking in the corners of every room.
We’ve all had our moments of feeling like we are drowning in clutter and become overwhelmed with not only how to tackle the mounds of crap we’ve accumulated, but to make sure they never creep their way back into our lives again. [Read more…]
If you are in the stage of life where you have babies or toddlers in your home, then you know firsthand just how difficult it can be to keep clutter at bay with all of the additional stuff that early parenthood has brought into your home.
I’m writing this post because I got tired of reading other blog posts and books about simplifying with kids, and realizing that none of it applied to me because we have a 19-month-old and plan to have at least one more baby. I am in what I would call the hoarding stage of parenting, where you’re constantly bringing new stuff into your home for your growing child, yet keeping everything they have already grown out of so that your next baby can use it too.
So Mamas, you are not alone if you feel like all of those other decluttering tips and tricks out there just plain old don’t apply to you in this current season of your life. [Read more…]
Hi Friends! Enjoy this guest post from Emily! XO Christina
Do you ever wish you could get more done? Maybe you feel like you need more hours added to your day?
Chances are you could use some more organization in your life!
Organization has always felt like second nature to me, and I assumed everyone knew how to be organized as well. It wasn’t until I became a teacher that I realized being organized doesn’t come naturally to some people. It amazed me how a student’s notebook could be overflowing with papers, but the one paper that was needed was nowhere to be found. It was very frustrating for my students (and myself)! [Read more…]
Hi friends!

I am celebrating one whole year of blogging on January 6th and wanted to do something HUGE to thank you all for following me on this journey. [Read more…]
