I Kinda Miss Paper Clutter
Our family drove home from our summer vacation in Colorado on Monday. I am always sad to leave my home state of Colorado with its beautiful mountains and crisp cool air, but this week's humidity and heat has me ready to boycott Iowa in August! On a more relevant note, a good portion of the 9 hour car ride was spent sorting through emails that I had neglected for about 8 days. I CAN NOT believe how long it took me to simply organize my family's life for the next couple of months! I really do miss the days of paper clutter, when everything I needed to know for my kids came home or through the mailbox in paper form. I feel like the information was limited and a bit more concise. These days I feel like I get at least five emails a day, per kid, with a mix of really important and almost useless information. In order to decipher what is important and not completely ruin my kids' lives, (yes a little dramatic) I have to read all 900 emails, download all 15 apps, complete and...
The Nursery is Gone
A while back I shared about Jase's refurbished dresser for his big boy room. I got a little antsy to clear out all of the baby stuff after moving his new dresser into his room. Jase soooo wants to be 8 years old like his big brother, and a baby room just didn't fit...

Family Command Center
It seems amazing that I have yet another very important function in our laundry/mudroom to share! I guess I never realized how long this series would be, but I hope you are finding a little inspiration! The last area in the mudroom that I'm going to share with...
Laundry Day
After all of this talk about my laundry room, I feel like it is only fitting that I end the series with a little description of how I go about doing laundry for my family of five. I have found over the last few years that there are a lot of different methods for...

My Laundry Room Favorites
I feel like I could keep adding posts about my laundry / mudroom for another month or two! Writing so many posts about just one room in my house has made me realize just how hard this space works for us. Maybe not aesthetically or emotionally, but practically...
Everything in a Basket
Does the busyness of spring hit you by surprise? It sure sneaks up on me every year! I used to think it was because I have 3 kids with all of their birthdays 4 weeks apart, between April 4th and May 2nd. But, after talking to other moms, it's not just me. Spring...
