Things that make my life easier





Makeup ovals- I use these nightly for either makeup removal or to apply witch hazel as a natural toner. They are so much better than just the regular circles!

My vacuum- This seems silly to add but honestly I love my vacuum. When you have 3 dogs and a kiddo....yeah vacuum to the rescue.

My planner- I've done the fancy planners. I've done no planners. The consensus? I'm in the middle. I love my planner that already has a layout and I just add my appointments as I need them. The thing is I DO need a planner now because otherwise I would totally forget everything. Between my own appointments, baby appointments, Kyra's school items, my husband's work stuff.....yeah we needed someone to have all this stuff written down!

Amazon Prime- How did we live without this in the old days? I need something quickly but it is nowhere to be found in stores near me? (so not uncommon since I live out in the country) Prime is my savior.

Pinterest- Now this one is a double edged sword. I have found so many things that I can DIY and have turned out and then I find things that honestly it would probably be better for everyone if I just bought it instead of making it but still I love it when I make something myself and avoid paying more than I need to.

Overdrive- I love this option from my library. Thousands of books and audio books at my fingertips 24 7 and all for free! It's so great to have when you want to travel light but still need to make sure you have a book at your fingertips in case you have to wait.

Extra Long phone cords- Life changers. Being plugged in sucks but at least with long cords I'm not literally against the wall all the time.

Watch Later on YouTube- This is such a great option when you see a video that you want to save for later to finish or simply save for later review if you are learning a new project.

Google Photos- All the photos on my phone backed up automatically so I lose nothing and never have to worry about deleting things to make space because they are already saved and easy to access from anywhere you log into Google.

Walmart Savings Catcher- I don't shop at Walmart a ton but when I do it seems I always spend a lot and Savings Catcher is a lifesaver. Basically you scan your receipt and they check to see if anything you bought was cheaper at any nearby store and then they give you the difference! It's automatically loaded up to a gift card on your phone and the next time you are shopping you can use that balance to pay for stuff! I love it because I save them up and use them for those unexpected expenses!

The Word of 2015

Good Morning Everyone and Happy New Year's Eve! It's the last post of 2014!!!!

Yesterday I posted about my goals for 2015 and today I am sharing with you my Word of the Year. 

I have never done a word of the year but I have seen lots of other bloggers do it and for 2015 it felt like the right thing to do. 

Here is my Word of the Year: 



I chose this word because it sums up everything I want to do in my life for the next year. I want to be more organized, purge clutter, and live my life just more simply than before. It's going to be the word I chant as I dig through my basement/garage mess and attempt to let go of all the things that I need to get rid of in my life, namely clothing, furniture, and general clutter type things. 

I'm actually really excited about it all and am looking forward to the weight of things being lifted off my shoulders as I let go of what I don't need. It's time to take control and make life just a bit easier on myself! 

Are you doing a Word of the Year? If so what is your word? I'd love to know!!!

My 2015 Goals

Good Morning Everyone, 

Well here we are again, the end of another year, and everyone knows what that means....

Time for some Goals! 



 1. I always pledge to read and write more. I love both things and honestly what would life be like without books? 

2. I really want to get better at what not only I eat but also what my family eats. I really want Kyra to have good eating habits and it starts with me! 

3. This is the year I get rid of things. I am so done moving things around and just shifting one pile of things over to the other side of the room and then back again. I am going to simplify my life! 

4. This one kind of ties in with the others and honestly it was Steph that inspired me to put this goal in, but I want to be more in control of my Hausfrauing! I want a chore schedule and I want organization! 

5. This is inspired via something I had seen on Tumblr. I want to attempt to put forth my best self as much as possible. Smile more and enjoy life. My family deserves the best version of me that I can give them. Every. Single. Day.

The new year is a such a hopeful thing, there is no way of knowing what is in store, there are just endless possibilities. I can't wait to see what 2015 will bring!
