Is there something you do in your home, that you’re embarrassed to tell others about because you know they’ll roll their eyes? Or make fun? Or simply think you’re crazy! đ Yeah, me too. And it’s so silly because all of us have been raised in different families, different cultures with different ways of doing…
You know how it’s so much easier to give advice to others than to take it yourself? “You really shouldn’t eat so much sugar.” “Don’t do stuff that doesn’t make you happy.” “Give yourself a break and just get some help.” But when it comes to ourselves, we fall short on our heeded advice or…
Have you heard of the 80/20 principle (AKA, the 80-20 rule?) That 80% of effects comes from 20% of the causes. Like 80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients. Or 80% of the clothes you wear comes from 20% of your wardrobe. Or 80% of organization value comes from 20% of the…
Like taking care of yourself isn’t hard enough, right? Add on kids, a hubby (or wife), or any other family member and you’re easily drowning. To be honest, I was never an organized person. Neat, but not organized. But I got along just fine on my own. It was when I started a family…
Is your family room where you gather most? Where you like getting comfy with a book, tv show, movie or family time? It is for me and my fam. It’s where we end up every night after dinner.

And more importantly, where can I get me some?! Today’s video and simplification tip is about a challenge many women with struggle with. Because in our desire to…
It feels so good to be back in the swing of the things. Although I admit it wasn’t easy after a two week hiatus. January usually means a fresh start, whether it’s weight-loss, fitness, productivity or organizing. One area I’ve promised myself to be better about is my kids stuff. There’s just so…
I was an addict. Couldn’t even think about engaging in a conversation until I had my morning dose of caffeine. But I’m patting myself on the back as it’s been one month since I’ve given it up. No more sumatra blends, fresh roast or mocha java. I’m not gonna lie. The first week was brutal. I…
Yesterday was the first full day of school for both my boys. So as you can imagine I’m sitting here with my feet up sipping a margarita. (Yeah right, I wish!) Instead, I’m nesting. I feel like a crazy lady ransacking the kids’ rooms – trashing their never used party favors, recycling their…
