I adore this simple dinner recipe. My parents introduced me to Yumm Bowls a few years ago, and it is a day I will never forget. I myself have only purchased the sauce one time from the restaurant Cafe Yumm and oddly enough have never actually eaten at the restaurant. But I adore their sauce and the ... Read More
Family Organization – The Weekly Schedule
The Weekly Schedule Well…thanks to you, my lovely readers, I am launching a new series today! One request that kept coming through was that you want more tips and tricks on how to organize your family life. Since I have my own party of five (which sometimes feels more like a party of 10), I know a ... Read More
{M}organized Fashion – Tank Tops
Over the past month I have realized how much time and energy it takes to keep on top of organizing our clothes. I think women have it soooo much harder. And, one might argue, better. We have so many more options whether you are talking about shoes, accessories or jackets. This reality was really ... Read More
Setting {Realistic} Goals
For many of you, you took the New Year to look ahead and to set some goals. I applaud you. I am a huge fan of setting goals. I really believe that when you are deliberate with the direction you want to go, you are more likely to change what needs changing! Today I'm over at ABFOL sharing more ... Read More
Home & Life Notebooks
In previous posts I've shared with you my Grab & Go Notebook and my Household Manuals Notebook. As much as I try to go paperless I just still have an occasional need for good old paper! Years ago I pulled together three other notebooks. I needed a place to keep papers organized that I just ... Read More
Menu Planning – Part Three
Menu Planning….some weeks I'm really on top of it. Other weeks not so much. My main focus is to keep our kitchen stocked and to have a loose plan so I don't find myself asking, at five o'clock, "what am I going to make for dinner tonight?" That is just never a good situation to be in. I have ... Read More
Friday Fab Faves – IKEA
I've been to IKEA twice in the last two weeks. I consider shopping there a mini workout because I end up walking for what seems like at least an hour or two. I am finishing up my office so I have been in the market for a few more items. I love that IKEA has so many great options for home ... Read More
My Organizational ABC’s
Organizing does not need to be complicated. I like to think about how a Preschool Teacher sets up her classroom. She has a basket for the lunch boxes, hooks for the coats and cubbies for the paperwork. Not complicated. Simple. Systems that are easy for three to five-year olds to follow. These ... Read More
Friday Fab Faves – Seven / Jen Hatmaker
Oh happy day! At the end of the year I read a book that really made me start thinking about "things." Specifically the fact that I have become a real consumer. Even living in Europe where I don't do as much shopping per se, I have found that I am able to offset local shopping with the finger tip ... Read More
2014 Goals
I'm already behind…but not really. I have been writing my list of goals in my head now for weeks. So it is fun to finally get them jotted down here. Honestly last year with so much transition I didn't really have a long list of goals, but now that we are settled into our new life I am going to ... Read More
