One of my yearly goals is to improve my time management skills. I’ve tried to find the best planner for moms who want to get organized in the past. It’s something that I constantly and continually work on because it’s something I’ve always struggled with. Organization, in general, can be one of my biggest enemies. And now as Squeaker gets older and as I continue to make a transition to being a work at home mom; organization is more of a need than ever. I’m also a bit of a planner addict but terrible at using them consistently. I love to look at them and I love the concept. I may have finally found my ideal planner and once I’ve had some time to really explore it,…

As moms we take on a lot of roles and we tend to wear a lot of hats. Our job is 24/7 all year long. When we then add on additional roles as work at home moms, or homeschooling moms? We take on more and more. We really don’t always value ourselves or value what we do. Sometimes it’s difficult for us to even recognize just how important we are. Do you regularly practice self-care? And for that matter, when was the last time that you did something that was just for you? You absolutely should take the time to do something for yourself. It is more than okay to be a little selfish. Me time for moms is needed. In fact, if you keep…

It’s time do some baking around here. With Squeaker’s birthday being in early December, we try to plan a small party with family and close friends. This year is no exception and while we won’t be hosting; we will be bringing the cupcakes. Now, I’m not sure how or why this got started… but I just can’t seem to buy plain cupcake liners. So, for example, during Fall; I like to buy the ones with leaves or Halloween themed liners. Around this time of the year, I like to buy the Winter themed cupcake liners and Christmas themed cupcake liners. And while they do get used, I was also thinking of other ways to use them. I remember using white paper doilies in school to…
