Conquer Overwhelm. Live Intentionally.
We all have some type of clutter in our lives, but knowing where to start with clearing it out can be downright overwhelming.
Today I wanted to share a quick list of 150 things you can toss out right now, to help you jump start your decluttering journey and live a more organized life!
These are all things you can either throw away or donate, depending on what the item is. If you own things that you no longer use or love, let’s get them out of your home! [Read more…]
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…]
Hi Friends! How are you?!
I’m so sorry for going MIA the past few weeks, but I promise I have a good reason!

Life has been the best kind of busy lately, as our sweet baby boy made his debut at 1:51am on September 22nd 🙂 [Read more…]
Do your mornings often feel chaotic?
Like you’re running as soon as your feet hit the floor and can’t seem to catch a moment of peace before noon hits?
Mornings don’t have to be that way! In fact, they can actually be the most beautiful and peaceful time of day if you set yourself up to make them that way. [Read more…]
If I could choose one word to describe this year for me, it would be overwhelmed.
While it’s not exactly a positive word or one that captures the joy and blessings I’ve also experienced this year, it’s still a pretty honest depiction of how I’ve felt the last 6+ months.
I think we all go through seasons like this, where life just feels downright difficult sometimes and we enter survival mode as a means to just get through it and try to move on.
While I’m still a work in progress and constantly trying to find better ways to deal with feeling overwhelmed at times, I wanted to share some of the strategies that have helped me this year in coping when the feeling of overwhelm creeps up on me. I know that we all feel overwhelmed with life from time to time and it always helps me in knowing I’m not alone in that struggle 🙂 [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…]
Happy Friday, Friends!
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Friday Favorites post, so I thought it was about time to bring it back! I always enjoy putting these together and think it’s a fun way to reflect on the past week and start the weekend on a positive note 🙂 [Read more…]
Would you consider yourself a happy person?
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the things that make happy people so darn happy.
Do they have a lot of money?
Do they have a huge circle of friends?
Are they successful in their careers? [Read more…]
