In 2018, I started this blog because my mom had uttered one simple, innocent statement: “You gotta get organized, girl”. My attempts to “get organized” had always failed before they had barely started, and in that moment sitting on the T-ball game sidelines wondering where my son’s cleats were, I knew I wanted to make some changes….
Sometimes life demands a pause. Full honesty, some health issues cam up this week and I really just did not have a blog post in me. So here it is. Here’s the post. Sometimes we try to do our best and life has other plans. Hoping to get back to normally scheduled programming next week….
This week’s blog post is a simple Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I am thankful for any and all readers here on my blog. I hope those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving this week enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. Let’s hit a Level 10 in that family category! What are…
I ended our 2021-2022 school year in a breakfast funk last year. The last few months were full of cereal, frozen waffles, and more cereal. Even though I have a few cereals that I refuse to allow on weekdays, it was still painful for me to keep repeating the same few breakfast options. My goals…
Yes, I’m that mom. My kids have asked (practically begged) for us to put up decorations for the last few years. My excuses for not doing so have finally run out. We built our current home about four years ago. Before that, lived in four different homes in less than three years. Needless to say,…

I actually decluttered a drawer. No, hell is still hot and pigs stay on the ground. Yet somehow, in this dimension, I decluttered a drawer. And not just any drawer, but a small drawer that was stuffed with way too many socks and underwear that was always overflowing and could never be fully closed…
Due to my plate overflowing, this post will be shorter than normal. I have one big concern on my mind and I’m not sure what to do so I’m reaching out to my readers for help. A year or so ago, we had a parent-teacher conference with the teacher of one of my kids and…
Yep, we are barely even into the school year and I’ve already found some mom fails that I want to document so I can remember them next year. This is going to be quick and painful. 1. Start shopping for school clothes at least a month before. Especially shoes. Every other kid seems to wear…
As summer is drawing (sadly) to a close and school is looming, I thought I would be a great time to take a moment and review some of the lessons I learned this summer. For the last few years, I have been trying to add an item in my to do list (with a due…
