Jan 05, 2024•18 min•Transcript available on Metacast Hey Friend! I don't know about you, but I can really put things off around my house sometimes. You know, like cleaning under my bed, or going through the linen closet, or putting fuel in my car. Shhh! Don't tell my husband I parked it on empty again!

Dec 22, 2023•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast Hey Friend! I had so much fun helping this young lady makeover her room! I know kids spaces can feel really overwhelming sometimes, and I also know WHY they feel that way... It's because when we don't declutter consistently, they end up with so many different categories of toys and things that don't really fit in the storage areas we have designated for their things. In other words, they can quickly outgrow their space when we keep things that no longer fit, don't work, or they just aren't inter...

Dec 13, 2023•17 min•Transcript available on Metacast Hey Friend! I didn't cook for 10 years, but when I became a SAHM, had my 3rd child, and had another child diagnosed with ADHD the same year, I not only started to cook most of our meals, I started to remove the not so good for us ingredients too!
