Spring is a week away but I’ve already got spring cleaning fever! Are you feeling the need to remove everything from every drawer, every cabinet, and every closet to decide what is or isn’t bringing you joy? Ok, but are you ready for a fresh start and an organized home? Me too, friend. Me too….
I started a new morning routine last week and I’m feeling really confident about it. It’s a simple routine but it’s helped me feel way more productive. My new morning routine for 2021 includes four steps: teeth, face, dress, and read. Charles Duhigg covers the concept of keystone habits in his book The Power of…
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.

My son threw clean laundry down the laundry shoot because he didn’t want to put away his clothes. It was quite a week at our house. Don’t put a bandaid on the mess. See if you can fix the mess with a system. That’s been my mantra this fall. In the chaos of back to…
