I HAD to share this hack with you guys, since we have strawberries ALL THE TIME. Life-changing for our family (and think about the savings since you aren’t throwing away excess strawberry “meat.” Enjoy!

Here are more of my tips for making this recipe come out flawless!
Personal Planner Organization and GIVEAWAY!
I am so excited to bring you this video and giveaway. Lots of you ask how I organize my time, my family, and my planner without going totally crazy. I admire perfectly decorated planners (with the washi) and think to myself, “Oh, time. You and I both know that wasn’t meant for me.”
Then the awesome folks at Personal-Planner sent me a little e-mail and asked if I wanted to make a custom planner AND give one away to one of you. Um…duh!!! Soesyouknows, they aren’t paying me anything to talk about their product or company. They sent me the planner for free, and everything else is my opinion. I think it’s important to share that as a vlogger.
These planners are pretty AND perfectly functional. Wait, I can have a cute planner for less than $40? With a picture of MY FACE!?!? Sign me up!

These are my favorite fridge organization tips plus a super sweet free printable for you guys. YOU CAN SAVE SO MUCH MONEY BY FREEZING FRESH FOODS! Since we’ve purchased our chest freezer, I’ve gotten really into maximizing it’s use. Over the past couple weeks I pulled together this Freezable Foods list about what are the best items to freeze. Print it. Share it. Tack it on your fridge…er…freezer? These are just my experiences with freezing items and how they’ve worked for us. This list is by no means exhaustive, so I would love to see what works for you!
If you are looking to freeze veggies (it will change your life) check out this list from the wonderful people of Canada. (I heard Canada.) I’m not kidding. It’s my favorite one online. And I really do heart Canada and their love of Tim Hortons. <3
Carson’s Room Tour!
Before Carson was born I implemented an easy system in his closet that would make folding clothes and the hassle of constant clothing transition things of the past. A favorite are these closet dividers…plus I love how they are LESS THAN $5!
Lots of you have asked to see an updated closet tour. Did it actually work??? That was one thing I found when watching YouTube videos of moms. You would see “great systems” implemented, but never find out if they stood the test of time (as many things don’t with kids).
So, here’s how his room looks today. It’s not perfect (and far from perfectly decorated!) but it is such a functional and easy to maintain space in our house. Here’s what I do to keep it easy peasy.
Also, here are the Closet Organizers that I love so much. They are perfect for those first years of so much growing and transition!
Would love to hear your favorite tips!

HOW TO DEAL WITH A MESSY SPOUSE!
This video addresses what to do when you have a messy spouse who destroys all of your organizing systems like crazy, or isn’t on board with changing your home and purging.
My approach is love and logic based (yes, that’s the teacher in me…in fact all of these tips are the same things that I do with kids, too!). I mention in the video, this book– The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts
So, here you go…my rambly, goofy self…
HOW TO KEEP A CLEAN KITCHEN (plus DIY Lysol Wipes)!
Learn to make knock-your-socks-off DIY cleaning wipes and keep your kitchen clean and orderly…even when cooking. (My secret weapon!)
If you are looking for some of the items featured in this video, they are linked below. Our chop block comes from Wood Welded which is a store in Michigan (my home-state). It is an extremely high quality product, and no, I am not affiliated/paid/perked to say that! The exact price depends on the size you order, but typically an item like this will set you back $50-$100. You know me, I’m CHEAP, and in my opinion, this is worth it to have a quality piece. Ours was a wedding gift and it is one we use daily.
