New on the Blog: Inexpensive Cell Phone Service for Tweens and Teens I hope you are all enjoying the month of January -- I do enjoy the "new" feeling of a new year (and the fact that our calendar is VERY empty for January and February!) Speaking of my calendar, I did NOT buy myself a traditional planner this year -- the first time since 6th grade! Instead, I'm using a tiny cheap-o monthly calendar that fits in my wallet... and then notebook paper to make my running to-do lists. So far, so good... I'll keep you posted! Keep reading for more helpful ideas to simplify your home and life... Simple Food. Looking for a simple meal that will feed a crowd with very little effort? Our family loves oven-baked chili cheese dogs. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, a weekend gathering, or a game-day feast -- plus, they can easily be made and assembled ahead of time! Keep reading --> Oven-Baked Chili Cheese Dogs. Organized Home. These days, I do the bulk of all my cleaning and organizing on Monday -- it's just what works for me in this season of life. But for YEARS, I did a little each day (which felt more doable when all my kids were home). If you're in a season of life where you can only do a little housework each day, my 7-day housekeeping guide might just be a perfect fit for you! Learn more --> A 7-Day Housekeeping Guide. Intentional Living. It's been over a year since I first mentioned our family's desire to get an "at-home phone" for our kids to use if we're gone for a bit... and after lots of questions, a little research, and 7 months of tweaking our current plan, I'm happy to finally share what we decided on (and how you can try it for free!) Get my tips --> Inexpensive Cell Phone Service for Tweens/Teens. In other news... Clara and I tackled the mudroom earlier this week -- donating 2 big bags of unneeded things and better organizing everything else. The giant storage bench nicely stores out-of-season shoes/boots so they are available but not in the way. James celebrated his half-birthday over the weekend! Have you heard of Dana White from A Slob Comes Clean? She's very funny and "real" and has a great YouTube channel (among other things). She recently shared a video discussing the idea of creating a "Space Budget" (which I'm a huge advocate for)... but she says the space (or the container) is your entire home, and you should only fill it will things that help you live well in your home. If you're looking for a little decluttering inspiration, her video is super relatable and encouraging. Have a wonderful week, ~ Andrea |
