How To Create A Summer Routine
Over the years I've learned that I enjoy my life so much more when I have established routine and order in my daily schedule and in my surroundings. I thrive on routine! Much of that has to do with my personality - I know there are many people who thrive on spontaneity and flexibility. However, I… Continue reading How To Create A Summer Routine
3 Tips For People Who Hate Grocery Shopping
"I'm not like you, I hate grocery shopping!" Someone said this to me recently and it made me chuckle. I do love grocery shopping (and I'm kind of a pro at it). But I know it's not just a hobby - it's a necessary task for everyone! I started to think about my approach to… Continue reading 3 Tips For People Who Hate Grocery Shopping
Two-Week Menu Plan {Menu Monday}
When life gets busy, I always default to a two-week menu plan! It's not my favorite way to approach meal planning but it works so well for times like these. As of today we're on the second half of this menu plan. I will be away from the house until 7:30 every night this week,… Continue reading Two-Week Menu Plan {Menu Monday}
My Spring Bucket List
I love Springtime in South Carolina! This part of the country does Spring so well. Monday was the first day of Spring, but we've been enjoying blooms and green grass for weeks now (except for that freak snowstorm a few weeks ago!). It won't be long before the heat and humidity set in, so I… Continue reading My Spring Bucket List

The other day I was scrolling Facebook and saw this post from Crystal Paine: "Why I Don't Make My Bed Every Day."

Plan With Me {February 2017}
I cannot tell you how much I'm enjoying my Happy Planner this year! I love having one spot for all my daily to-do's and reminders. Every Friday night I take about 15-20 minutes to plan for the weekend and upcoming week. I've enjoyed watching other "plan with me" type videos on YouTube, just to see… Continue reading Plan With Me {February 2017}
Valentine’s Day Plans {Menu Monday}
Happy Monday! Here's our menu plan for this week, including all three meals as usual. We aren't going out for Valentine's Day - around here it's impossible to find a table at any restaurant that night. For the past several years we've enjoyed a meal at home and have celebrated on another day instead! This… Continue reading Valentine’s Day Plans {Menu Monday}
My 2017 Household Cleaning Schedule
Last year I created a household cleaning schedule and posted it on my fridge in plain sight. It worked so well for me that I only needed to tweak it a little bit for this year! My house really isn't large enough for zone cleaning, so breaking my tasks into daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and… Continue reading My 2017 Household Cleaning Schedule
