Yes, anything and everything KITCHEN! I find spending time in the kitchen cooking and baking highly therapeutic, it is such a stress buster!

But I am all determined and already working on getting back to it with full-force this year, so expect to see a lot of food-related posts on here and across my social media platforms.

How To Declutter & Organize Your Home? Tips & Hacks
First, let’s be clear on one thing, no bins and no containers will ever make your home organized, but your habits will! Read more about ideas on forming new habits and tracking them (get your free printable here). Between balancing a career, marriage, kids, finances, chores, travels (and if you are lucky then some me time), and have a social life amidst all these responsibilities (aka a balancing act) takes a lot out of us, especially in terms of time and energy.

Fall Cleaning Steps & Checklist, Vol 1
The ULTIMATE CLEANING CHECKLIST & TIPSLo and behold, Fall Cleaning, god knows I need this more than anyone else in the whole entire world! No one, I mean, absolutely no one’s house can be as messy and as disastrous as ours currently is was, until I spent a good part of the weekend whipping it back into some see-able shape (I still have a long way to go but this was a start). We all are quite familiar with Spring Cleaning but very little thought is given to Fall Cleaning, though IMHO the latter deserves much more attention than the former.

Easter Basket Ideas & Easter Traditions
Unique, easy, inexpensive & fun DIY Easter basket & egg hunt ideas for babies, toddlers, tweens, teens & adults. Easter is right around the corner. And to be honest, I have no real idea about Easter Traditions, Easter Baskets and/or Easter Egg Hunt because I did not grow up here. My knowledge about Easter is limited to the little bit of Easter that I have been exposed to in the last few years. But I have always been curious to learn more about Easter (just as I am curious to learn about other cultures and celebrations), and now that we have an almost 3-year-old I figured it was about time. So as always, I turned to my dear friend, Kathy of @peppyfitfoodie to educate me, you can always count on her to come to your rescue! In this guest blog post, Kathy is sharing all about ...
