Do less with more love and joy!
A regular evening routine never seemed particularly vital UNTIL I was striving for a consistent morning routine. It turns out, what's completed (or not) in the evening has a tremendous impact on my morning! I don't know about you, but I have almost no energy left in the evening. It's for that reason that I've had to choose simple tasks that don't require much brainpower, but smooth the way for a ... View the Post

These morning routine tips will ensure your success, even if you've tried and failed before.

It sounds like a lot of work at first, but cultivating the right ... View the Post

It's also intimidating to try to live up to the expectations of a grand Christmas morning. Having our kiddo create a wish list is helpful so we get a better idea of what he would like to have. However, it can also create expectations or hopes of receiving everything on the list and then being ... View the Post
Whenever you feel like you have nothing to wear, it's time to declutter your closet. I used to think it meant I needed some fresh new items, but I have learned that’s a temporary fix that doesn’t last long.

When I reduced my work hours to be home with the kids more, it became more challenging to maintain a clean home. It’s funny; I expected the opposite to happen! In some ways, I have more time to clean, BUT I also have two tiny tornados constantly making messes. At least when I worked all day the house didn't get dirtier throughout the day. A clean home ...

Traveling with kids IS possible! I am the first to admit, routines are both a blessing and a curse. As someone who uses routines to function, it can be intimidating to travel with little ones and uproot our routines. However, some life experiences are worth the trek! When we had one child it seemed easier to postpone travel. Now that we haven’t gone anywhere for a while, the places we need to go and people we want to see have piled up. The solution for us has been developing a travel routine ... View the Post
