Do you ever feel like you're stuck somewhere between wanting to get your shit together and simultaneously wanting to not give a heck anymore? Maybe I'm overdramatizing a bit (do I ever do that?? ...note to self to overanalyze that one...), but I feel like I'm almost always fighting a losing battle. I could blame it on life, kids, pets, the moon, and a number of other things. Perhaps we all feel that way, in some respect - that's life. But it's possible to take a step towards a less hectic space ... VIEW POST

Simple Rotisserie Chicken green Enchiladas
It's no secret that easy dinners are my favorite dinners. Bonus points if they also happen to be delicious. The other day, I had a major craving for enchiladas. A quick search led me to this simple rotisserie chicken green enchilada recipe that is definitely going to be a staple in this house (despite the kids turning up their noses...their opinion doesn't count, here). Who doesn't love a good rotisserie chicken? Okay, maybe it's not #1 on everyone's list - but I've come to appreciate the ease ... VIEW POST
Messy Mom’s Guide to a mess free (almost) living space
Mess free (HA)! Who are we kidding? There will always be mess. Mess is universal, all-encompassing, and eternal -- it will outlive us all. Now, you all know that I've embraced mess, in a way. At the same time, my anxiety is often triggered when I feel buried in it (especially in our living room). So, I'm always looking for ways to manage the mess in our life without becoming obsessed with it. It can be a hellish task with five kids and a houseful of pets - but there are a few ways that I've ... VIEW POST
A dumb gardener’s guide to patio gardening
Okay, when I say "dumb" I don't mean dim-witted or stupid. I'm simply saying that, as far as gardening goes (or keeping anything green, well, green), I have no idea what I'm doing. The dumb gardener's guide to patio gardening is my way of simplifying gardening to a small, manageable space that's easy for anyone to keep. Probably. Growing up in the high, arid country of Colorado, it was nearly impossible to grow anything beyond sagebrush. During the summer, we would road trip to my parents' home ... VIEW POST
Get them reading with the Tower of Books Challenge
Parents and kids everywhere are feeling the 'end of the year slump' as summer approaches and dreams of closing up the books mix with summer plans that often don't involve a lot of reading. We began feeling that familiar slump after taking a mid-year break of our own (beauty of homeschooling year-round) that left me looking for new ideas to inspire more independent reading in our house. Thanks to Teachers Pay Teachers, I found a great way to get them reading with the tower of books ... VIEW POST
Keep it stylish and simple with Comfort Works slipcovers
I walked into the living room the other day and found the girls watching Frozen 2, munching on Doritos and sipping chocolate milk. That's the life, am I right? You bet it is (if you're the two and five year old). However, if you're *me* you feel a ping of dread watching countless orange, powdery crumbs raining into every crevice, nook, and cranny of that deep seat sofa (is it time for wine, yet?) with dribbles of chocolate milk spattering every whichaway. If there is one thing I know, it's mess. ... VIEW POST
