Let’s Look: Meal Plan
Good morning and happy Wednesday! Today, I’m linking up with my some of my favorite bloggers, Mix and Match Mama and A Little Bit of Everything, to share meal planning! It’s a good thing we are talking about this now rather than the beginning of summer. Summertime starts to get a little out of control. Some days I am good about planning and having dinner ready – other days we will snack and play all day outside until 7 pm rolls around and then start asking what is for dinner.
Meal planning during school has been much easier. There is time to prepare, THINK and hungry kiddos to feed after a school day! Here is how we meal plan for the week!

It’s the weekend over here! We have today off because of the county fair happening this weekend! As always, Labor Day weekend is PACKED for our family. There are parties, events, fairs, the airshow – so much happening, but happy to enjoy it because it kind of unofficially marks the end of summer. We are hosting family for a dual birthday party for Audrey and Tommy tomorrow morning which I am so excited about!

Tuesday Talk: Diary of a Unorganized-Organized Person
Good morning friends and happy TUESDAY!! We returned home from our lake vacation late Saturday. We were so close to staying the night and coming home Sunday, but it did work out great to wake up in our beds on Sunday. On thing that we like to do is return home on Saturdays from trips. It is so great to have the day to ease into a week and have that extra day to reset!
With school starting and a couple weird instances that occurred at our house (one of them being our dehumidifier crashing in our basement) – we reached our boiling point in terms of clutter and disorganization. I will have to admit, I like to think I am pretty organized, but I’m starting to see I’m not – I think it’s all in my head! I absolutely LOVE the thought of organization and less clutter, but just cannot execute or maintain it well. I am now realizing the some of the reasons I struggle to be organized and less cluttered – 1) we have too much CRUD, which comes with having kiddos – toys and little pieces parts are everywhere! 2) Most of the clutter needs to be purged and a more “bite the bullet” approach needs to happen right up front so things don’t get out of hand.
I’ve personally noticed I will let things sit around that either A) do not have an appropriate “home” and normally refuse to put it away until I have that spot or, B) require a more extensive put away process (i.e. storage bins in basement, pulling out kids clothing bins, medical/insurance bills filing, kids mementos, decor, etc.).
So how can I help myself be more organized – by simplifying our lives! Here are some of the things we’ve been focusing on and certain ways I am forcing myself to become more organized! I would love to hear how you organize/simplify your life and household – any other tips are greatly appreciated!

moreCedar Point Trip 2021
Happy Monday! Cannot believe it is August – the summer is just flying! Last week we headed to Cedar Point for a quick little trip and honestly it is one I will cherish! The kiddos had THE BEST time – I kept getting comments, “Mom, this is the best vacation ever”, “I never want to leave”, “thank you for bringing us here”, “I’m gunna miss the ocean” – haha! Our quick one day trip was just what we needed. My husband and I were so happy we did it and were already talking about the next time we can go! I’ll start by saying, we got extremely lucky with the weather! What a great time we had!
