We are having a great time checking things off of our summer bucket list! I wanted to show you something I created to make packing up for our little trips super easy. It lets me just focus on the unique things I need for our activity that day and not have to think through all […]
Organizing The Closet Under The Stairs
WARNING: Too many pictures!!! There is this closet underneath my stairs. It holds all of our games, puzzles, and kid art supplies. Around the corner of the back of the storage closet is where I store our 72-hour emergency kits and a little bit of our long-term emergency food storage. I wanted to organize the […]
Hydrating Fruit Popsicles
“Mommy, these are so yummy, will you please make them every day?!” My daughter had a few friends over last week and the night before she made sure we made up a batch to have ready for her friends. My girls absolutely love this treat, yet it is so healthy I will let them eat […]

Patriotic Door Hanging – From Materials I Already Had
I wanted to jazz up my front door with something patriotic and fun. Yep, I just used the term “jazzed up”. It is getting wild here. Once again, I only had a few hours while baby napped, so I got creative with materials I already had. A general idea had been floating around in my […]
