How to Declutter Your Out of Control Desk in the Time it Takes to Microwave Your Lunch

This week, I decluttered my dumpster fire of a desk in the time it took me to microwave my lunch, and I had a good time doing it. I used a handy decluttering hack from Flylady. And no, I did not shove it all in a drawer. I properly decluttered the desk in about ten minutes, and I am going to show you how I did it. First, I want to point out that apparently a messy desk is a sign of genius. However, as genius as we may be, sometimes we need to clean it up just so we […]

Check Out this Free Homemaking Class on YouTube

I am taking a free homemaking class on YouTube, and it is so strangely fun. That’s why I wanted to share this. I wanted y’all to get to have fun with it too. Even though I have been keeping house for over twenty-one years, I never feel like I do a good job. You know? There’s always so much clutter. For example, two days ago, I cleaned off our coffee table, and now I’m sitting here looking at it all cluttered up again. We cannot be trusted with surfaces where you can place things at our house. Two days ago […]

Fall 2023 Stitch Fix Review: Full Video

Every three months I get a new Stitch Fix box in the mail. It is something I genuinely look forward to. But I must warn you, every once in a while I get a box that I do not love. This was one of those boxes. For fall 2023, I put on my request list that I wanted lightweight pants. Even that was a let down. The pants they sent me were pretty thick. Truth is, I was disappointed from the moment I looked at the preview email of my fix. These days, your stylist at Stitch Fix will send […]

When You Don’t Know if You’re Moving Or Not

There are, unfortunately, times in life when you don’t even know if you are moving or not. It reminds me of a few lines of Dr. Seuss. “I’m sorry to say so, but sadly it’s true, that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you…” We are indeed in that dreaded place, “the waiting place, for people just waiting.” If you do not know these Dr. Seuss references you must read Oh, the Places You’ll Go! ***When you purchase through Amazon links on my website, I do collect advertising fees. But seriously, at least check that book out at the library.*** […]

If You Have a Loved One on Hospice Care, You Need to Read The In-Between.

This book, The In-Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life’s Final Moments, by Hadley Vlahos, R.N., is a breath of fresh air. If you have a loved one approaching the end of their life or on hospice care, you will learn a ton about hospice and what to expect while chartering the unknown waters of terminal illness. Talking about death and approaching death can feel like a taboo subject. We don’t talk about it a lot. This book addresses death, and yet somehow, this is NOT a depressing book. I found it to be a very informative, reassuring thing to read. I […]

Free spirits do not need a schedule. Try this instead.

Have you ever seen a work schedule for free spirits? Over the past few months, I have written about how to create a work schedule as a work at home mom at least two different times. First, I wrote this article about creating the schedule, and then I wrote about how I was tweaking my schedule because my first one did not work. Well, it may come as no surprise to anyone that my second schedule did not work either. Then I began to feel sad about my problem of never being able to stick to any schedule that I […]

Big progress & a looming setback for my writing business this month

I have not done an update on my blogging and writing business goal progress in a while. But I have been working very hard on my writing goals! Let’s start with the looming setback in my writing business because that lit some fire under my rear end to motivate me to get to earning more money… I got an email that said I will soon owe $400 in Bluehost web hosting fees. They have definitely gone up on their rates. Ouch. Then my Canva bill came due for over $100. Without Canva, I cannot make all of my pretty images […]

How to Save Money on Makeup & Skincare

While there are many ways to save money on makeup and skincare, ranging from buying Walmart brands to watching for the “free gift” deals, today I am going to share with you what I personally do to cut my beauty costs. Before I started doing this, I was spending over $100 each time I bought makeup and skincare, and I had to order many times throughout the year. Plus, I was constantly moving so I also had to pay for shipping. I have allergies and sensitive skin, so I cannot wear just any brand of cosmetics. This method I’m sharing […]

10 Reasons Why You Need to Take a Family Vacation

A good solid family vacation is what we all need this summer. You need it for your mental, physical, and spiritual health!! It does not have to be expensive or all that far away from home. But I hope you get to leave town this summer and go do something fun with your family. I love family vacations. In fact, that might be another reason I will never be rich. But I don’t care, and neither should you. The fact is we ALL need a family vacation this summer, next summer, and every year after. In fact, it does not […]
