The Drama of Procrastination

More than 10 years ago I watched a movie He’s Just Not That Into You. The thing that has continued to stick with me from the movie all these years later has nothing to do with the dysfunctional romances depicted. There was this scene where two characters, Alex and Gigi, were discussing how women* like […]

You deserve a home, not a storage unit.

Sometimes you will declutter something you eventually wish you hadn’t. Declutter anyway. I wrote Your Junk or Your Life almost 8 years ago, and the advice continues to ring true. There may be declutter casualties, but the benefits of decluttering outweigh the casualties exponentially. Yeah, you may have to re-buy something later. But how much […]

Awesome Banana Muffins (GF friendly!)

My friend Aimee shared this recipe with me about 15 years ago, when we both had preschoolers and babies crawling around. She brought it to a playgroup at my house, and if our friendship wasn’t already cemented, it was after I tasted her banana muffins. Now that we are gluten free over here, we’ve been […]

The Battery Organizer (My husband’s favorite online purchase I’ve Made.)

When the UPS truck comes down my street, there’s a 99% chance it will stop at my house. 🤦‍♀️ I know I’m not alone, we’ve all been shopping online a lot more in the last year! I must point out the thing that my husband Matt says is his FAVORITE thing I’ve purchased in the […]

Mask Baskets in the Laundry Room

Let me say, first of all: I hate that I’m writing this post. I dislike masks. Yes, I wear them in public and my family wears them in public, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it. I miss seeing people’s faces. I miss smiling at strangers. (You may not know this about me, […]

When in doubt, toss it out!

This week in my pantry I came across the bread machine. Oh, the bread machine. A few of my children have been diagnosed with extreme gluten allergies over the last couple of years, so this bread machine has sat un-used for just as long. (And please don’t come at me about the gluten thing. I’m […]

A New Way to Line Kitchen Drawers

After spending thousands of dollars in our renovation on beautiful hand-stained wood cabinets, it hurt my heart to think of ruining it with adhesive drawer liner. But, it also hurt my heart to think about crumbs and drips of liquid ruining the beautiful stained wood. I know there are temporary, non-adhesive liner paper, but I […]

Empty Your Trunk First!

In the Fall of 2019, I learned an important lesson. Before you take a load to donate, remove EVERYTHING else out of your trunk that isn’t meant to be donated. It was our anniversary in November of 2019. I had been in charge of an activity the night before at church creating Meal Bags for […]
