Does this sound like you? There are too many appointments, too many meetings, calls, pickups, drop-offs, errands, and to-dos. You are juggling a job and home life, relationships, and raising kids. Your schedule is so packed you feel truly out of control. Something has to change, but life is chaotic and you can’t always slow…
We have found that weekly meal planning is the best way to save time, money, and energy. It’s the system that we as a family come back to time and time again! When life gets busy (with the holidays, school, or general 2020 madness), everything can get out of wack. But that’s the beauty of…
Can you believe we are here, you guys? We made it to November, which means that next month is December, and this mighty fine year of 2020 will be over. Donezo. Gone. 2020 has been A LOT and before we can say goodbye to this gem of a year, we have the holidays to get…
As the weather cools off and we get into the holiday season, this is my favorite time of year to be in the kitchen. But that doesn’t mean meal planning, especially during the workweek, is “fun.” I love cooking the meals, don’t always love planning the meals! If meal planning is overwhelming, I’ve got a…

Last weekend we celebrated my daughter’s birthday! When we asked her how she wanted to celebrate this year (birthdays are hard in a pandemic, am I right?), she stated she really wanted a unicorn cake. Of course! What little girl DOESN’T want a unicorn cake? So when my special little girl requested a unicorn cake…
The other day on Instagram I mentioned how I thought my eyebrows might be a little too filled in. I had a bunch of Zoom meetings with potential publishers for my book (it’s still so exciting to type, I’m writing a book about HEART Goals!) and I did my makeup quickly. I was afraid I had been a little heavy-handed with the eyebrows,…
Our best-selling At Home with Kids Guidebook has been updated for Fall 2020 and is available now in our printable shop! When COVID-19 hit us all last spring, many of us jumped into new roles and responsibilities. While we’ve homeschooled our kids before, that certainly wasn’t what we were expecting to do in 2020.
