I strongly believe that your life is created through your daily actions and intentions. This means that if you aren’t consciously planning and working towards your desires for yourself and your family, you are much more likely to feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled in life. This is why I set goals and intentions every year, and…
Christmas is my favorite time of year. And despite the craziness that comes with being an adult and wanting to make Christmas special and magical for my family, I still get that warm and cozy feeling when Christmas comes around. Since I love to plan ahead, I’ve created a type of system that helps organize…
When I’m feeling overwhelmed, it’s hard to focus my energy in one area. This leads to procrastination, which makes the overwhelm feel more intense. Once procrastination kicks in, it feels like I’m pushing myself to get anything done. Over time, I’ve become aware that overwhelm comes from a feeling of chaos in my mind. Through…
It can feel challenging to complete a task when you have kids to take care of. However, it feels so good when you do have those little wins and you’re able to cross a task off your to-do list. I actually LOVE this feeling of knocking things off my to-do list, so that’s why I’m…

I love a good to-do list. Getting everything I want to do out of my head and down on paper gives me a little jolt of energy to move ahead and conquer it all! Unfortunately, that hit of motivation usually doesn’t last long. Let’s face it, if you have young kids around, they need your…
As a stay-at-home mom, you can feel like your floundering sometimes with getting anything done. You are pulled in so many directions with your kids. Being home should make it easy to be productive, right? Not really… There are times when you just need to focus on that one little thing, but your kids are…
I love a good old fashioned checklist. The calm that comes over me after getting all my thoughts down on paper…and the rush I receive when I can cross something off – it’s amazing. Checklists just make my life better. You can use checklists for more than just organization. Sure, I love to use a…
