How I’m Making Hard Times Feel Better
Let me start by saying–this isn’t my typical type of blog post. It’s very personal and not very concise and I’m sure the grammar isn’t great. I wrote this out as a way to process and thought I would share it just in case it is helpful for anyone else to read. I know it’s always helpful for me to read other people perspectives during similar challenges, so I hope I can provide a sense of solidarity to a few of you if possible. As I mentioned on my Instagram post- I’m not at all sharing this for pity. I know that unfortuantley there are far worse things going on…

75 Sustainable Challenge (A 75 hard alternative)
For the past few years I’ve been tempted to try the 75 Hard Challenge SO many times. If you know me, you know I LOVE a good challenge. And I love the concept of mental toughness behind the original 75 Hard Challenge. HOWEVER, I know that while maybeeee I could complete 75 Hard…it wouldn’t really be sustainable for me long term. And after 33 years of life, I’ve tried enough “quick fixes” to know that I don’t want to do them anymore. It’s one thing to do a challenge, it’s a whole different ballgame to develop long lasting healthy habits. So I did a little brainstorm- “I feel the best…

Zone Cleaning Printable Checklists
I recently heard of zone cleaning after being introduced to the Fly Lady method on Tik Tok. I was skeptical at first- but since I had yet to find a cleaning schedule that worked for me, I decided to give it a try. I am happy (and proud!) to say that I have stuck with it for the past 2.5 months!! And while my house isn’t perfect, every month it is looking better and better. The consistency is paying off and I can now see why this method has been so popular for decades! What is zone cleaning? Zone cleaning is essentially dividing your home into sections (“zones”) and cleaning…

2021 Summer Reading List
One of the best things to come out of 2020 was the reigniting of my love for reading. I read a ton as a kid, but like many adults, let it fall by the wayside as life became busier. Being stuck inside for much of last year, finally gave me the chance I’d been wishing for- for more time! Not only did I start reading more, but I started using apps like Good Reads, following “bookstagram” accounts and even a few reading groups on Facebook! I’ve loved learning about different books from people across the internet and by TBR is getting LONG. One of my favorite types of blogposts to…

1000 Declutter Challenge
Over the next few months I am making it a goal to get 1000 “things” out of our home. Call me crazy, but I’m just done dealing with the clutter. Dealing with it takes away so much precious away from people I love and frankly, I would rather do MANY other things besides clean up all day, every day. I successfully completed the #minsgame last year and while I made a pretty big dent in our stuff, there is still quite a bit left! I wanted to play again, but without as strict of rules. So in this version, all you have to do is color in a box for…
