Easter Egg Lego Scavenger Hunt Ideas

Easter is just around the corner, and I love making the morning special for the kids with an Easter Egg Hunt. Each year, we come up with creative non candy Easter egg fillers. Last year, I came up with a new idea that proved to be a huge hit - Legos! The night before Easter, I opened the box of Legos and emptied all of the pieces into a bowl. Then I filled each of our plastic Easter eggs with a handful of pieces, dividing them up evenly between all of the eggs. Most years we attend a ... View the Post

Backpacks For a Cause with Cricut

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. With everything going on in the world lately, I am more grateful than ever for our home where my family feels comfortable, safe, and secure. But imagine what it's like for a child where home doesn't provide that same sense of security. There are approximately 40,000 children in Foster Care nationwide, and for most children, their entry into the Foster Care system is an emergency situation resulting ... View the Post

How to Store Jigsaw Puzzles In Less Space

If your family has a lot of puzzles, then you know how much space they take up on a shelf. For the past few years, I've been organizing our puzzles using an easy, space-saving method, and I decided it was time that I share my tip for how to store jigsaw puzzles. My kids have aged into more challenging puzzles, so we donated most of their "little kid" puzzles. They recently got quite a few new puzzles for Christmas and birthdays, so I decided it was the perfect time for me to show you my ... View the Post

Under Bathroom Sink Organization Ideas for Small Powder Room Cabinets

I like the style of the floating cabinet in our powder room, but it's very limited on actual storage space. I've had a hard time finding an under bathroom sink organizer that would fit around the pipes in this tiny cabinet. Over the years, I purchased a few options - but each time I broke my own cardinal rule and didn't measure first, so not surprisingly, none of them fit. As a result, the cabinet ended up looking like this for far too long... I know I'm not the only one with a ... View the Post

Basement Family Room Refresh Plans

Over the years, we've updated nearly every room of the house, but the two spaces that have received the least attention are two that we spend most of our family time in - our living room and family room. Since the start of the new year, we've been working on a major refresh of our main floor living room. If you've been following my Instagram Stories, then you've seen a few previews of those updates, including the newly painted walls. I've got a lot more to share with you soon. In the ...

Five Minute Laundry Closet Organizing Hacks

If you have a washer and dryer in a closet, rather than a more spacious laundry room, then you know that it can be hard to organize this space to fit everything you need.

This post contains some ... View the Post

One-Stop Shopping Holiday Gift Guide

Thank you to Office Depot for sponsoring this post. When I was a kid, I counted down to the holidays and time seemed to move so slowly it felt like we'd never get to winter break. As an adult, between running a business and parenting, it feels like I blink and the holidays have come and gone.  This year, I'm trying hard to slow down and simplify a bit so that I can really enjoy the season and create lots of memories with my own kids. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the holiday ... View the Post

Reusable Monogram Gift Tags Made with Cricut

I am so grateful to my friends at Cricut for sponsoring this holiday DIY project.  A couple of years ago, I used my Cricut to make numbered gift tags for the 24 books that we wrap every holiday season for the boys to open each night leading up to Christmas. I loved how they turned out and, ever since, I've been wanting to make some reusable gift tags for all of our family Christmas presents.  I once again used my Cricut and created some simple DIY monogram gift tags. I made a set of ... View the Post

Time Management Tips for Busy Mompreneurs

Thank you to Office Depot for sponsoring this post. As always, all ideas and opinions are my own. Mompreneur was a term I hadn't even heard of before having kids, but through a series of life events I've found myself with this title and all of the perks and challenges that come with it. Balancing being a small-business-owner and work-from-home mom is a constant work in progress, but this year, as my business has grown, I've come up with some pretty good systems to keep me on track.  ...
