Spring is popping up everywhere! Target has some great home decor to spruce up your living spaces. Changing out small items in your home can have a big impact. Something as small as switching out a throw rug can change the whole look of a space. Time to freshen everything up, let’s get started!
Read MoreSince I shared Simplifieds’ Instagram post about emptying your purse and making a little bag of essentials, I shared with you that I already have a bag of essentials in my car. Well, now you all want to know whats in that bag. Haha. I like to keep this bag separate from my purse for a few reasons. For one thing, I change my purse frequently. Secondly, the Hubs keeps NOTHING in his car so if I’m with him, or take his car, I don’t want to be stuck. Lastly, if I go with someone else, I can grab this bag, throw it in my purse of the day, and go knowing I have everything I need. I am all about the “Just in Case”. Let’s get started!
Read MoreNew year, new you, new home. Out with the old, in with the…nothing! It’s time to clean out! I love this time of year. No, not for the weather..for the “new start”. Putting away all the holiday decor, leaves you with having to clean up after it and then you start to see ALL that needs to go! Time to purge and get organized. You’ll thank me later! Let’s get started!
Read More2020 is here whether we like it or not people! A new year can be a new start and it gets me thinking about the year ahead. I’m not one to make “resolutions”. I feel like the word itself co-insides with the word “diet”. A diet is temporary, I don’t want temporary. I need a lifestyle. I try to add onto things I’m already doing to make my life easier, more enjoyable. Let’s get started!

Read MoreIt’s here! The busiest shopping day of the year! So many sales to be had, so much pressure to buy the perfect gift. It is overwhelming and the way I look at it, I use this time to shop for the things I have had my eye on for a while. I wouldn’t go into Black Friday shopping blind.

I have a few gift guides here but also just links to retailers that are having amazing deals and you can just look through their site. Let’s get started!

Read MoreWhen I polled my Instagram followers, men were part of the top two “hardest to shop for” answers (teens were the other). What to get the guys..they usually aren’t ones for lavish items and they tend to buy themselves what they need, when the need it, making it difficult to shop for them. I have rounded up some items that any guy in your life would be happy to receive! Let’s get started!
Read MoreThis is a fun gift guide! Not only is it for the women in your life but YOU as well! I searched high and low for items that range from $4-$100. These would be great for a mom, sister, friend, grandmother, co-worker, you name it! I have also listed similar items not shown in this main picture that may be a more affordable option. Let’s get started!

Read MoreLabor Day is over, the kids are back in school, and there is a scent of fall in the air. The mornings will start back up into a routine and if you have a lot on your plate, easy breakfast options can be a lifesaver. My whole family likes oatmeal. Sometimes there isn’t enough time for steel cut oats. Also, with three girls to get ready in the morning, grab-and-go’s are where it’s at. With a little prep the night before, these recipes can help your mornings run a little smoother. Let’s get started!
