30 Day Decluttering Challenge for Beginners

I put together this fun 30 day decluttering challenge for beginners (and clutter bugs) to motivate myself to get my house decluttered. And I thought it would be fun if we did this together. If you happen to have your share of clutter and want to try this out too, I hope you will join me in the challenge. I found a ton of these thirty day decluttering deals already available on the world wide web. Some of them even have free printables, as this one does. However, I looked at a few that are already out there, and I […]

My Honest Review of the 2023 Flylady 101 Class

Last week I finished the very last day of the Flylady 101 Class on YouTube, and I want to tell you all about it. As I mentioned before, when I first started the class, Flylady 101 is completely free. I must confess, I climbed into a serious Flylady warp zone in the past month, as I went all in on Flylady. I took the class, read the book, downloaded the app, and I even signed up for the email list! It is very rare for me to go whole hog like this, but after moving from a larger house to […]

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 […]

Free Printable Chore List for 9-12 Year Olds

This free printable chore list for 9-12 year olds contains blanks for eighteen chores for your kids to do. Plus, I am also including lists with chore ideas. I created blank templates of the chore lists you can add your own as well. Each family has different rooms and tasks to do. I tried to stick to fairly universal ones for the list. This list was originally created for my 9-year-old on notebook paper. I just dressed it up to share with y’all. Last night before bed, my youngest son asked me to write down a list of “23 chores” […]

How to Stop Being a Clothes Hoarder

Today I am going to be talking about one of my favorite topics: decluttering your clothes and how to stop being a clothes hoarder!! ***Insert squeal of delight.*** I have a system for organizing clothes that I came up with many years ago. With this system, I never have to “clean out my closet” because it always stays cleaned out. Oh, and yes, my clothes are still crammed in pretty tight because I do not have a great big walk in closet all to myself. I have a small walk-in closet that I share with my husband. His clothes actually […]

A Quick & Easy Way to Do Monthly Goal Setting

When I have a big goal that I am working on, I love the start of a new month. It is the perfect time to monitor my progress towards my goals and do my monthly goal setting for the month ahead. It is especially exciting when I have real measurable progress to celebrate and can also identify ways to grow as I keep going. Last year I wrote all about the usefulness of having a Monthly Planning Session, especially when life is extra busy or you have a major project going on. I do stand by that article. However, there […]

How to Create the Perfect Work at Home Mom Schedule That Makes Your Life Work Better

As I transition into becoming a work at home mom, having a schedule that works became extremely important to my success. There are a billion things to do each day. How do I get them all done? And which things should I do first? And in what order? How do I keep myself on task? It is only me here, usually, so do I need a schedule? At first I thought I did not need a schedule. I can do all the things, sure. Nope. That did not work at all. I might be here alone for six hours a […]

Goal Planning Broken Down into the Easiest Steps Ever

When I say I need goal planning to be broken down into the easiest steps possible, I mean that whole-heartedly. I have always loved goal setting and planning, but I’ve had to work on breaking it down into tiny steps as I have gotten older and have so many responsibilities as a parent. I need every cheat sheet in the world. What I want to share today is how I break down a goal into tiny more achievable tasks. What we all need to turn our goals into reality is a solid, doable plan. I spent a large amount of […]
