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 […]

Why I just deleted a ton of apps off my phone …
It started after Adam, Elizabeth, and Jane passed away suddenly and we were making the initial long drive to Las Vegas to be there to support family. I already suffer a pretty horrific case of depression, but the anxiety and grief I felt then was at a whole new level. Mentally I couldn’t even wrap […]
Take It 15 Minutes At A Time
I know that many home decor and organizing blogs out there are full of these incredible before and after photos, which I LOVE as much as you do. And sometimes, we attack a project with one big gigantic effort to start and finish it in a short amount of time. This is an intense way […]
My Favorite Planner! {I’m biased.}
I got a message from someone ordering a planner last week. They’ve used my planner in the past, but tried a different planner last year. To quote the message “I need the only good planner I’ve ever had. I missed having yours literally every day last year.” As an avid planner-user myself, I didn’t create […]
2018 Resolution Worksheets
Hey y’all! I’m slipping in this quick un-planned blog post really quick. My husband told me this morning that he wanted to do New Year resolutions with the kids, so I created some worksheets this afternoon to help guide my older kids. We’ll do an impromptu family meeting today (or tomorrow if we’re too busy […]
Managing Kid’s Busy Schedules {FREE PRINTABLE}
I was just trying to simplify things for myself, but ended up simplifying things for everyone. Sometimes that’s the side effect of getting organized – we help a lot more than ourselves. A few years ago, I was losing my mind trying to keep track of when my three elementary girls had their different school […]
Change Your Life With: Weekly H.M. Sessions
Do you wish you had more time? What if I told you there was a way of stream-lining some of your responsibilities and creating more time in your week? Your work as a Household Manager can, especially the parts that feel like a secretarial position, can feel all-consuming. You sift through mail, file things, make […]
Balance Is A Myth
There is a question I get asked a lot – and I never quite know how to answer it honestly. I work really hard to keep my life and my house running smoothly, but inevitably it may still look easy from the outside looking in or it may even appear to run more perfectly than […]
Why Plan?
Why plan? Because planning creates a path to big changes and big successes. Winging it is a strategy that has its time and place to shine, but planning is a good idea most of the time. Can you imagine going in for a haircut and telling your stylist to start chopping and go wherever the […]
What You Can Do
There are things I don’t do well, and sometimes I get so caught up focusing on those things, that I stop doing the things I can do. One of John Wooden’s best pieces of advice is “Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” Another way of saying that is “don’t let […]
