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 […]

10 Ways to Prepare for any Unexpected Disaster

Today I have a disaster preparedness expert here with me to share with everyone ten ways even beginners can prepare for disaster. In our family, we have a resident expert in preparing for disaster. It is definitely not me. I am not all that prepared, honestly. When Covid hit, it was by pure blind hog luck and the grace of God that I happened to buy a Mega bulk pack of Charmin on March 9, 2020. In fact, it was one of Walmart’s last packs of it, and I remember thinking, “huh, weird.” If they hadn’t sent all of my […]

How We Unpacked Our Whole House in a Week

Guess where we are. We are on the other side of the move, and we basically unpacked our whole house in a week. Most of it was even finished in three or four days.

How to Have a Successful Personal Monthly Planning Session

This is another one of my FAVORITE new ways I have found this year to truly feel like I am getting my act together: the monthly planning session. I originally called it my monthly meeting with myself. But to sound more sane, we will just say “monthly planning session.” The idea of setting aside time to do a monthly planning session is another tip I learned from vishakablone.com. What do I mean by personal monthly planning session? I’m glad you asked. This is a time during the first week of the month where we plan out the whole month that […]

How to Find Extra Minutes to Work on Your Project

I have a problem. You see, I am woefully behind on prepping my house for this move, and I find myself in need of extra minutes. We all get the same twenty-four hours for every single day. No matter who you are. The day is the same. There are twenty-four hours, and no one gets extra minutes. But I am going to need some extra. I want to list our house to sell in May, and that requires me to comb through each room of the house. Our house is over-packed with stuff. Everywhere you look there is clutter. Most […]

So of course, I made a video about it.

Sorry, I did not learn in time to not film the ceiling while […]

When You Want a Do Over

This is one of those days when by lunch I wanted a do over. Isn’t that like the ultimate little kid thing to say??? “Watch me!” *goofs it up* “Do over! Do over! It was the wind. I get a do over.” But you know what? Life isn’t the Olympics…I mean not usually. I’ve never been to the Olympics, nor am I an athlete of any kind. For some rare members of the human race, I guess some days life really is the Olympics… Ha! But most days aren’t. So you know what? We can absolutely have a do-over on […]
