The Super Tidy! I’ve been mentioning the Super Tidy all over the place, but I’ve never formally introduced the powerful, clutter and mess fighting Super Tidy. The idea started a while ago when I started writing “tidy up for 10 minutes – put things away” on my daily planning sheet. I would write it at […]
Continuing “the” Conversation
I’m not one of those moms who thinks I’m doing everything right. But, I am feeling good about the open connection I have with my kids. My girls tell me stuff and ask me stuff! I don’t pretend they tell me everything, I mean, they’re 13 and 11, BUT … they ask me a lot […]
Pro Jobs or DIY – {SCC Week #4}
I labelled this week “Pro Jobs or DIY” because I want to be clear from the beginning that YOU do not have to do all the things! It is okay to get help or hire help! Each year I handle these jobs a little differently depending on how busy I am or my budget or […]
Kids’ Chores, Job Sticks, & Allowance

I still stand by all my previous advice about doing an HM Session (which involves knowing how to use an inbox). But, it’s […]
After Dinner Jobs
At our house, one of the big secrets to a clean kitchen is making sure the kitchen is clean right after dinner. Makes sense, right? It also makes sense that I’m not the only one cleaning. Typically on week nights, I’m the one cooking, so I don’t like to be the only one cleaning! It […]
Wood Floors: Care & Cleaning
I love the look of wood floors, but you do have to be a little picky with how you take care of them. Most wood floors don’t allow you to take a wet mop to them, but they still get dirty … and scratched. Years ago, in our first home with wood floors, I was […]
Patch and Paint Nail Holes
So, I put up a collage wall, and then hated where it was, so I moved it to a different wall. Also, we replaced the old curtain rods and moved the brackets. All of that meant a lot of nail holes to patch up on the walls of the living room. This was actually a […]
