How to Make Time When There is No Time
With work, school, kids, marriage, animals, and LIFE….it is important to remember to actually LIVE. And usually it’s a good idea to do that with your significant other. Sometimes it’s drinking a beer in the garage. Other times, it’s sitting on opposite couches and watching Happy Gilmore for the 3,000th time. And, my favorite times, fancy restaurants that take hours to eat. The point is – we have to make time to show each other we are still in love. It’s not always easy.

How to Keep Your House Organized
INSIDE: HOW TO KEEP YOUR HOUSE ORGANIZED BECAUSE IT IS A JOURNEY I figured something out yesterday, my organizational journey needs careful follow up. WHAT? It doesn’t just STAY this way?

How to Make the Most of Teacher Appreciation Week
INSIDE: HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK EVERY YEAR! I love my children’s teachers. AND I tell them every chance I get! WHY??? Because they are helping mold my children….this is a HUGE job. They are underpaid, under-appreciated, and I’m sure not all parents are thankful for their help. Dumdums! Well, this teacher appreciation week we did something special! ***Special edit: This was written before COVID – and ladies and gentlemen – I feel this MORE today (3 years post-COVID) than I did in 2019**** Having said that, the school sends home a list of things you “can” do for the teachers. However, I do not have…

Ever feel like that saying “He only gives you as much as you can handle,” is a crock of bologna? I have had a few of those….hence the lack of writing. It’s been a rough week and it’s only Wednesday! We had a dentist appointment that didn’t go as planned on Monday. Imagine that. The oldest dog was put down on Tuesday. We were supposed to leave for Utah today but middle child had other plans for…

How to Clean and Organize Your Car!
INSIDE : COME CHECK OUT HOW TO CLEAN AND ORGANIZE YOUR CAR AND KEEP IT THAT WAY WITHOUT MELTDOWNS! Ever looked into someone else’s car and thought…..how in the world is it so clean? Don’t you have kids? Do you have another car that takes them places? What am I missing? Of course, there are the cars that you look at and think “I’m doing JUST fine…this chick needs a highly skilled detailer to make this sanitary…” But really kids can make a car so disgusting, it’s impressive. A 10 minute ride from gymnastics to home causes hours worth of cleaning. Do they like to live in filth??? Disclosure Statement:…

Breaking Free: My Journey to Overcoming Soda Addiction
INSIDE : FOLLOW MY JOURNEY TO OVERCOMING SODA ADDICTION AND HOW I BROKE FREE USING SODA STREAM. Hello, my name is Lyn and I’m addicted to soda. Coke Zero is my drink of choice. I like vanilla syrup, Captain Morgan, or vanilla vodka in it. Well, I like it by itself too. (This is the part where you say; Hi Lyn, thank you for sharing.) I used to think that because it was a ‘diet’ soda I was ok to drink as much as I wanted. Thanks for teaching me that Weight Watchers!!! I figured out that I am no longer of an age that I can eat whatever I…

Someone asked me how I was able to accomplish all of this in a day.

Yes, I have 1 husband, 3 children, 3 dogs, and 1 guinea pig. Yes, I am currently getting a masters degree. I don’t wake up earlier or…

Reset Your Life – Challenge Complete!
INSIDE : CHALLENGE COMPLETE – RESET YOUR LIFE – HOW DID YOU DO? We are closing in on the end of January!!!! I cannot believe it. Let’s talk about the list. That is where I started. After a lot of hard work and countless hours of procrastination my list looks like this now: Frankly, I’m tired of painting…..but I’ve picked a color for the girls bathroom and the master bedroom walls. And I enlisted some help…..soon enough. I want hanging shelves in the master bath but I need the perfect ones. And I’m trying to get a certain someone to paint me a picture for my relaxing space. After all…
