Stitch Fix 2024 Unboxing: Sometimes Fitted is Better than Baggy

Welcome back to another fun Stitch Fix 2024 unboxing and try on! This is my February 2024 Stitch Fix style box. I am currently signed up to get a new box every three months. Out of this box, I kept three items. There is one item I am most excited about and two items I returned. If you have never tried Stitch Fix, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It is basically just trying on a box of clothes someone else picked out for you. You pay $20 for a Stitch Fix stylist to select clothes for you. However, if you keep […]

What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

Do you ever have days where you have no energy and you do not felling like doing anything in the world? I am not too proud to admit that I have seen many no-energy days where it feels almost impossible to do anything. Let me tell you, I had two hard-core, no energy at all days, last week. January was getting to me or something! All I wanted to do was wallow on my sofa, but then I felt guilty about not getting my stuff done. Sometimes I do not even know why I have no energy. Maybe it’s hormones, […]

Time for a 2024 Planning Session!

For my 2024 planning session, I sat down with my calendar, a pen, and the kids’ school calendars and roughly planned out the entire year. Have you ever tried that? It sounds simple, but I tell you. I am not sure I have ever done this before. There is something about the possibility of moving that makes you suddenly go into planning overdrive. I have had this 2024 planning session sitting in my calendar for a couple of weeks now, and I keep pushing it off. Sure, it is definitely time to plan out 2024, but when it comes to […]

Easiest Ever Sweet & Sour Chicken in the Crock Pot

This is the easiest way possible to make sweet and sour chicken, without having to go through a whole bunch of steps or order take-out. I should call this “mock sweet and sour chicken” though because there is no frying and actually way less calories than the traditional version. Just now, as I was writing this, I decided to see what is already out on the internet for easy sweet and sour chicken recipes. I found a lot of recipes that want you to cut up the chicken, shake it in a bag with the bread crumbs or flour, make […]

Easy Dinner Hack: Turn Any Recipe into a Crockpot Meal

Finding easy dinner hacks is one of the main themes of my adult life. I have four kids, life is busy, and having easy dinner ideas is important for our whole family. Everyone loves to eat. My favorite way to make cooking dinner easier is to turn just about any recipe I find into a crock pot recipe. Why? For a few reasons: -The hours after the kids and my husband get home from school are the most exhausting, chaotic hours. Add trying to get to evening sports practices to that, and you can forget being able to focus on […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Time Saving Mom Book is A Useful Resource

The Time Saving Mom Book Review This week I purchased the brand new book, The Time Saving Mom, by New York Times bestselling author Crystal Paine. I bought this book because it fits my interests and the niche of this blog perfectly. One of my favorite things to do is read about how to make my life better. I like to read a million tips and then maybe only actually do two of them. Ha! Do you do that? I ordered the hardback version from Amazon and carried it around the house with me. Me carrying this book around was […]
