Our mornings usually go pretty smoothly. That is actually saying a lot, as I am not a morning person. Like, at all. I get up at the LAST possible minute and then rush to get out the door on time. Every.Single.Morning. So how is it that our mornings run smoothly? Well,...

Keep Kids Rooms Clean and Clutter Free
My two girls share a small room and honestly, it never gets messy. Izzy is seven and Abby is five, so they are old enough to be in charge of their own space, but I do have a few tips that help them stay on top of things. Tip One: I only allow ONE small toy box in...

Here is the CORRECT SPRING CHALLENGE!
Sorry about my last post. I attached the wrong April calendar! I've had a rough day, that is my only excuse. One of the little girls I am babysitting had EXPLOSIVE poop all over my bathroom....which of course made me throw up in the sink... and my youngest daughter...
