For the next six weeks until Christmas (Yes, Christmas is only six weeks away!) I'm going to be running a Simplify the Season series here on Mondays.

How to Have Your Cake and Eat It Too! {GIVEAWAY!}
I am the kind of person who thrives on structure. Schedules, routines, and to-do lists play an important role in my life.

I have a lot on my plate, and I often struggle to balance it all. It's all good … [Read more...]
