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.

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.

You can play it while watching t.v., talking on the phone, and hanging out with family. Your whole family can download it and create a co-op together. I love this app. But Township can be addictive.

In truth, I have several apps that were too addictive for me, so maybe this is a personal problem. But this […]

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 […]
