Quick Cleaning Tips + a Printable Cleaning List

Today I am sharing a free printable cleaning list as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own. #ZepSocialstars

Making various lists has always helped me streamline my day and hectic schedules. I need that visual reminder and that satisfaction of crossing things off once complete. I normally have different notepads, list-pads and my planner on hand, all filled with my lists I reference throughout the day. I am trying something different now, and making printable sheets to help organize them and eliminate all the notepads.

Is summer really almost over? The school year starts next week, but I am not quite ready to let go of the warm summer months, that blazing sun and the bright skies. I have been thinking about planning a fun summer party outside, but honestly, the heat and humidity has been a scorcher lately.

A Fresh Start Each Morning

Today I am sharing how I get a fresh start each morning as part of a sponsored post by NESTLE Coffee-mate. All opinions are my own.

Mornings haven’t always been my thing. There are still some days I wake up and think, “not today”, I am not a morning person. However, the last year or so I have discovered that with each morning and each start to the day, good things can come. Ensuring a fresh start daily is important.

Encouraging Kids to Read & Building Your Home Library

One thing we started doing more this summer was going to the local library. I was always hesitant to take the boys, since they are younger and have a hard time keeping their voices down. I found out that our library has a section just for kids with a play area and they offer a children’s summer reading program. The program just ended last week, but I decided to do more at home to encourage the kids to read and build our personal library.

School Paperwork Organization System + Sparkling Orange Refresher

These tips on organizing school paperwork has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #WaterOnlyBetter #CollectiveBias

I have a knack for organization. I prefer things to be color coded, alphabetized, categorized and clutter-free. It puts my mind at ease and helps my days run smoother. My home office is full of paperwork, reports, folders, binders and endless office supplies.

An Easy Hot Dog Bar Idea for a Grilling Party

This hot dog bar setup is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Ball Park. The opinions and text are all mine.

No matter how much we have going on, we make sure each and every weekend is filled with family-time. We may spend a day out and about exploring a St. Louis attraction, or just spend time together in the backyard. No matter what we end up doing, it involves lots of laughter, fun, and good eats.

Help Support Operation Food Search & “You Share. We Share.” Campaign

Today I am sharing some great information about Operation Food Search and their efforts to help heal the hurt of hunger in the St. Louis metro area. Thank you to SocialMoms and SUBWAY® Restaurants for sponsoring this important message to help our local community.

Raising kids that give back to their community is becoming more and more important to me each year. I can tell it is starting to get instilled into their minds by acts of kindness they are initiating on their own. Last week my husband came home from grocery shopping with my four-year-old (which doesn’t happen often). He was impressed that Chase noticed and insisted on purchasing the prepackaged bags available to purchase for donation. Proud mom moment for me.
