If you’re like me, clutter drives you NUTS – but when life is busy, it starts to pile up. As it piles up, I can simultaneously feel the anxiety rising in me. One place that seems to clutter up quickly for me is my refrigerator. Between my own Diet Cokes (yes, it’s an addiction andContinue reading “Affordable Refrigerator Organization”

7 Tips for Young Professionals
This single momma hen is also a working professional. I’ve worked at the same institution (my undergrad alma mater) for over seven years now, and I’ve moved from an entry level recruiting position into a director-level role. I don’t say that to brag – I say that to share that I have learned a lotContinue reading “7 Tips for Young Professionals”
Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns
I am joining the Halloween train, y’all. I don’t usually decorate for this holiday – for two reasons: #1) I love my fall décor and really dislike the idea of taking it down and then putting it back up through Thanksgiving, and #2) I don’t really love spooky stuff and I’m not a huge fan,Continue reading “Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns”
Lazy-Lady Veggie Soup
I’ve said it before: I am not a seasonal food person. I think if you like food, you should be able to eat it whenever you want, so that means chili in summer or hot cocoa in spring. However, some things are just the right amount of cozy for certain times of year. Think ChristmasContinue reading “Lazy-Lady Veggie Soup”
Makeup with Me
My entire life, I have been deemed a “girly girl,” and, even as a certified #BoyMom of a superhero-and-sport-loving toddler boy now, that is still absolutely true. My makeup time sometimes is the only “me” time I get in a day, so I really try to take that time to get myself ready and feelContinue reading “Makeup with Me”
4-Ingredient M&M Cookies
I have always liked the M&M cookies in the grocery store. You know, the ones that come in a plastic container and are made by the bakery and deli at the grocery store in your local neighborhood store? They have M&Ms or some attempt at M&Ms – some chocolate coated candy baked into them. AndContinue reading “4-Ingredient M&M Cookies”
Fall Home Décor & Living Room Refresh
It’s fall, y’all! I know it’s just now September 1, but like I told my favorite Walmart cashier (and yes I have one because she is the sweetest), “if decorating early for fall makes you happy, then by all means, decorate early!” (We also talked about watching Hallmark Christmas movies, but that’s neither here norContinue reading “Fall Home Décor & Living Room Refresh”
Crock Pot Bacon Green Beans
When I was little, I hated green beans. And when I say I hated them – I mean, y’all, I would count them out so I only ate as many green beans as my mom said I had to. Oh, three bites so I could leave the table? The three shortest beans, it was then!Continue reading “Crock Pot Bacon Green Beans”
DIY No-Sew Plastic Bag Holder
If you are like me, you save and reuse those plastic Walmart (or anywhere else) bags. I use them for everything – particularly rough pull-up explosions (because while we are learning to tinkle in the potty, we outright refuse to do the other in the potty), bathroom and bedroom trash can bags, car trash bags,Continue reading “DIY No-Sew Plastic Bag Holder”
DIY Decorative Knife Block
For over a year now, I’ve kept my kitchen and steak knives in a drawer. They were in a silverware separator, at the back of the drawer, and it was the highest possible drawer so that my son couldn’t get to them. I lost my nice knife block, which was a gift from my parents,Continue reading “DIY Decorative Knife Block”
