A simple and sleek little phone charging station from Restoration Hardware caught my eye while stalking my local RH store. It’s like walking into a candy store, well…if the candy was laced with gold. I have yet to be able to afford anything there, because even something as small as this lovely phone charger costs […]
Home Management Binder
I love being my own boss and a homeschooling mom, but let’s be honest, it takes a certain type of personality to do those things well.

The Magical Reverse Checklist
 Oh come on! How in the world did I spend the whole day working, and now the end of the day looks exactly like it did at the start of the day? Dishes still in the sink, carpet still looks like it hasn’t been vacuumed, projects still half done. It feels like I went through the […]

The White Winter Bed & Bath Refresh
I don’t know about where you live, but there is TONS of snow on the ground where I am. Living in the snow belt of Northeast Ohio isn’t all ski trips and sledding, it is snow blowing your driveway at 6AM in the morning so you can make it out the drive to go to work. That […]

Schedule and Chore Board
Well, it has finally happened. My eldest daughter asked me to create a chore board that is “pre-teen appropriate”…aka she is ready for a big girl chore system, no more cute printable sheets with colorful dots filled in like the ones we currently use. *Sigh* my baby is growing up! Seriously, anyone know how to stop them […]

Christmas Eve Dinner Table
In many cultures the Christmas celebration starts on the Eve of Christmas with a large feast, the opening of a single gift, the lighting of candles, and sometimes even the singing of carols. My family doesn’t really engage in your average traditions; our Christmas tradition is pretty much having a house crammed with family, playing tabletop board games and […]
