Thank you so much for being here! Each month I like to spend a few days resetting my home. This could be decluttering, organizing, restocking, or all of the above! I notice my home runs more smoothly if I spend a little bit of time each month focusing on these tasks. I would love to get all of this done in one day, but that isn't a realistic timeline for most of us. So chipping away at these tasks over a few days is what allows me to actually get them done. I hope you have a great day.

I like to change my sheets right then too, nothing worse than being tired at night and realizing your bed isn't made. After many years of trying to keep a small, over crowded linen closet neat I took the linens out and pared way down. Every bed has an soft storage bin underneath with a set of sheets and one blanket. Every bathroom cabinet has four towels and the tablecloths are on hangers in my laundry and now I actually use them as they aren't wrinkled.

busy moms shouldn't beat themselves up for not having enough time :) I heard someone recently say we do not in fact all have the same 24 hours in a day , for example , someone with a chef , nanny , fitness trainer etc....... does not in fact have the same use of those 24 hours as a busy mom who is doing all the tasks herself ! it was an eye opener for me . we all have 24 hours in a day but how we get to allocate those hours varies greatly ! you're doing a great job .

I know that feeling that happens when you come back from a trip. After going to the lake, I'm from Minnesota, I have what I call "Lake let down". It takes a couple days to get back into a normal routine.

Going on vacation is a ton of work! There’s all the prep for going and then all the putting away when you get back. And if you’ve been gone long enough the house is all dusty and needs to be cleaned when you return.

@shannontorrens1 10 ай бұрын

I so agree with this! Especially for the main organizer (that would be me) it's more work than just staying home LOL.

@labradorite8256 10 ай бұрын

For the cards, I saw a hack, to keep a lot of cards from the same event or theme, bundle them up into a little book, one inside the other, and stitch them together with a piece of string. Then they can be pulled out and looked at like a memory book.

Levi has grown so fast. What a cutie. I have gone through my sentimental stuff so many times. I always get rid of something. Sometimes very little, other times more. I started to work on my photos and stopped. I seriously have to be in the right mood. I have 5 siblings and quite a few niece's/nephew's so going through them takes forever and to ask who wants what, etc. It's a long work in progress. Sigh.

@shannontorrens1 10 ай бұрын

I also need to be in the right mood to go through photos because I don't want to feel rushed. It's great you have been able to go through everything over and over I feel that is when I am able to let more go. I hope you are doing well. =)

Your garden looks great, a functioning garden-keeping it real. The garden we planted which we enjoyed for years was a pollinator garden. The life it attracts is fun to watch and if planted thoughtfully comes back year after year with little maintainence and replanting.

LOVE and watch your vlogs weekly! Labels work better if they face the opening so you can see what is where. Also please, please, please remove the store stickers. It takes only a second and most come off cleanly with newer glues. The visual clutter that the stickers make, clog the flow of creative juices and make your mind see too much. It is an easy way to make things look cleaner and well kept. Do LOVE you and hope you don't take this the wrong way. My family calls me the sticker police, 👮so I handed out a ticket to you. LOLOL😂

My husband & I eat a whole food plant-based diet. I plan ahead the meals I'm going to bring or make. A full-size refrigerator & at least a microwave needs to be in our room. There's a lot of food to take along, but we can't rely on restaurant food having vegan options.

Will Grant eat zucchini bread? There are some good vegan recipes out there similar to banana bread. I love zucchini and could eat it sauteed nightly or in a veggie quiche. As a child though, we always had a big garden yield of it and one year, my mom was desperate to use it up and came up with zucchini cookies which were not exactly loved, hahaha So happy to get a good slaw recipe, it's Soo good, thank you :) My family teases me about how much I love cole slaw and get excited to order it as a side in restaurants but sadly, it's not always good. What is the name of the red 🌹 flower perennial that you trimmed? Soooo pretty. Returning from vacay mixed emotions are a real thing but it does give fresh ideas brought on by time away. I am getting the LR tidied up to put down our new rug from rugsusa. It has pretty orange tones to match the new 🍊 watercolor. Happy Wednesday!!

@shannontorrens1 10 ай бұрын

I should try zucchini bread, I haven't made that in a really long time. I am literally the only one who eats the coleslaw here so I guess I am making it for myself lol.

Hello, Yes it does help the tablecloth from sliding a little but mostly it protects it. A commenter years ago suggested a tablecloth protector and I love it. When something spills it doesn't get on the table at all and if we want to do a project we just pull back the top cloth and my kids can paint or do anything messy. =)
