Hi Reader!

Every first week of the month, I like to hit pause on home/DIY/organization projects and dive into the personal side of things...

...Mom life, Blogger life, Military life…and all the other life in between!

When I returned to the blog last month after a (practically) year-long hiatus, I looked a bit different.

Not only did I chop my hair off, but I also lost about 20 pounds in my time away.

Many readers have reached out, curious to know more.

So in this month’s Coffee Break chat, I’m breaking down the diet and exercise changes I’ve made over the last year, as well as all the tools and resources I used to be successful.

The monthly Coffee Breaks will stay over on the blog, since these posts tend to be longer and generate good discussion! Grab a cup of coffee and catch up with me here…

Month In Review: March

March marked my return to the blog with a whole new approach and lots of great projects! Catch up on any posts you might have missed below!

Sneak Peek

One of the very first spaces I setup whenever we move into a new home is our family "drop zone." Next week, I'll be showing the unconventional spot we're using this time around!

2 minute read Hi Reader! Last June, our family moved into our 11th home on Camp Pendleton, California. And then just a few months ago, we moved again. I know. I kinda can’t believe it either. This move, however, was unlike any other we’ve tackled in the 20+ years of my husband’s military service. In this month’s Coffee Break, I’m breaking down where we moved to this time, why it was so sudden, and why it means even more good news for you and the blog! My monthly Coffee Breaks are always over...

1 minute read Hi Reader! I have somewhat of a complicated relationship with product packaging. Most, I get rid of almost as soon as the item is in our house (food, cleaning and laundry supplies, hygiene products.) But there are some things I tend to store in their original packaging (board games for sure, but also some craft machines and specialty kitchen gadgets.) Our two Christmas Nativity sets were also in this latter category. But after years of frustration, I finally decided to ditch ALL...

1 minute read Hi Reader! Partly because I love to craft and partly because crafting eventually became my job, I’ve been fortunate to have a dedicated craft room in most of our rental homes. When you have an (often) large and dedicated space for crafts…you tend to fill it…with LOTS of crafts. But when we moved into our (much) smaller home here in southern California, there was no such space. In fact, all we could realistically fit was a single IKEA Kallax unit. So very quickly, I had to get...
