Doesn’t this look such a peaceful morning? This is pretty much the opposite of my mornings lately. I just can’t seem to get a good rhythm going for our family. It ends up being rushed and I ended up being short with everyone. I’m typically great with routines, but this one has me stumped. Getting two kids out the door without getting up at 5am and getting everyone where they need to be on time is currently not happening for us. Do you all have any tips and tricks you use for more peaceful mornings and getting out of the house on time? Help!

When someone tells me they know “I’m SO busy” it kind of makes me want to barf a little. While I love being productive and being involved in all kinds of things, I never want to be that person. It’s something I have to be mindful of because it can happen quickly as I sign up for one more project or pursue one more idea. I want my friends and family to know I can be there if they need me, and not stress that I might be too busy. I also don’t want to be so busy that I don’t have time to actually enjoy my amazing life. I work on this by relying heavily on my calendar. I schedule everything (like wake up and eat breakfast) so that before I say yes to anything new I can first see if there’s any white space on my calendar. I also find that regular exercise and down time helps me stay realistic about what I can take on. Do you feel super-busy all the time? Do you have strategies for not over doing it? (Thank you @jenniferallwood for reminding me to check myself on this!) . . . . . #erinbarbotandco #organize #organizedhome #homeprojects #clutterfree #tidy #holisticorganization #functional #declutter #lessbutbetter #minimal #professionalorganizer #home #sparkjoy #seeksimplicity #getorganized #simplify #loveyourhome #livewithless #interiors #realsimple #busymom #busybee

To corral this client’s reusable grocery bags we folded them and stacked them in @ikeausa bins. She should be able to easily see what she has and pull out what she needs on her way to the store! We will test this solution over the next couple of weeks and see if it’s sustainable. Sometimes solutions look pretty, but don’t work when real life kicks in. Guess what? That’s okay! This doesn’t mean “you’ll never be organized.” It just means we have to keep tweaking until we find what works best for you! How do you organize your grocery bags? Do you keep some in your car? Your house? Both? . . . . . . #erinbarbotandco #organize #organizedhome #homeprojects #clutterfree #tidy #holisticorganization #functional #declutter #lessbutbetter #minimal #professionalorganizer #home #sparkjoy #seeksimplicity #getorganized #simplify #loveyourhome #livewithless #interiors #realsimple #alexa #lifehacks

Thanks for having me on @ssorganizing to chat about three of my favorite topics: Cocktails, Containers...and babies! Link in bio:). #Repost @ssorganizing with @get_repost ・・・ Happy #thirstythursday & I've got this tasty, medium sized cocktail glass of deliciousness on my mind. (It's a Boulevardier, btw...recipe below) What are you sipping on heading into the weekend? ___________ My cocktail this week as well as the accompanying conversation about organizing for baby come from the delightful Erin Barbot of @organizingbyerin. This professional organizing newborn mom has some great tips for what to put on your baby registry, how to set up your house for baby and what to do with stuff when you are "in between" babies. Check out the most recent "Cocktails & Containers" episode at my Link in Bio. __________ And here is the recipe if you want to try this delicious cousin to the Negroni, the Boulevardier.... BOULEVARDIER Serves 1 1 1/2 oz bourbon 1 oz Campari 1 oz Sweet Vermouth Mix ingredients over ice and stir.
