    Approaches to Decluttering: How to Get Started

    February 9, 2021 /

    Last week we shared some of the benefits of clearing clutter and living with less, but the question is: where does one start? Various items or areas of your space can present different challenges to declutter. Some items hold a lot of memories and can be difficult to approach while other areas – like maybe a jammed closet – can seem overwhelming. I enjoy a good purge and have a few methods that work for me, depending on what items or area of my home I’m looking to clear! Speed Purge This post from Be More With Less walks you through decluttering 10 Spaces, 10 Minutes, 100 Items from easy…

    Flashfood: Freezer Meals

    January 12, 2021 /

    Freezer Meals I had a wonderful, simple-sounding idea to make a 5-10 bagged uncooked freezer meals in an afternoon (with some reasonably priced components purchased through Flashfood) that I could pop into the slow cooker to make dinner preparation time in the late afternoon less of a bottleneck in our house. I was finding that the little people (and sometimes big people!) were often tired and hungry at the end of the day and I was finding it difficult to spend a lot of time preparing dinner in the kitchen. But my well-intentioned bulk food preparation day just wasn’t happening! I tried to make a couple of meals and ended…

    Five Good Things We Experienced in 2020

    December 29, 2020 /

    We’re almost at the end of 2020 and likely many of us aren’t sorry to see it go. However, in the midst of the anxiety, loss, and uncertainty of the year there were moments that showed we aren’t defined by our circumstances but rather by our responses to them. Below Krista shares a few of the positive things that happened in the midst of this difficult year. Dedication of Front Line Workers There were many instances in which we cared for each other through this pandemic, but those on the front lines gave (and continue to give) their all, risking their safety to care for us. In my area we…

    10 Activities to do at Home With Kids This Christmas

    December 8, 2020 /

    It’s hard to know what to say or think about this year as a whole, and now it’s Christmas. I’ve been finding it challenging to keep occupied at home this winter as so many of the activities we would usually do sadly aren’t an option this year. That being said, I thought I’d share a few activities we are enjoying or plan to do! 1. Bake Cookies I don’t have great luck with cookies but I give them a try every year! We usually make molasses cookies (and go crazy with the decorating) and my grandma’s shortbread. Here’s the recipe if you want to give the shortbread a try! Grandma’s…
