I just uploaded two brand-new blog posts that I think you’re going to love—because they’re all about making home organization work in real life, for real moms (not the Instagram kind).

You know I’ll never give you tips that feel impossible or make you want to burn it all down and start from scratch. This is the good stuff. The stuff that actually works.

First up: closet organization.

I broke down how I organize my kids’ closets, including why I stopped using cube shelves in the open but now swear by them inside the closet. I also share my favorite bins (spoiler: the clear ones win) and how a simple laundry basket upgrade changed how my kids care for their own clothes.

Kaylee and I actually talked through this on the way to school and I wanted it to be a podcast episode but life is just not a podcast season right now, so it's a blog!

Then there’s our updated craft shelf.

For years, I kept our art supplies super minimal because I just didn’t have the bandwidth to manage 87 types of glue. But now? We’re in a new season—and the way we do craft organization has evolved too. The girls have bullet journals, watercolor notebooks, rotating pen caddies, and are currently obsessed with Diamond Dots. (I even made a cute little infographic for you!)

Whether you’re in a season of bare minimum survival mode or ready to add in a little more creativity and structure, both of these posts will meet you right where you are.

​

And if you only take away one thing from this week’s update, let it be this:

👉 You don’t need to do more. You just need systems that make your life easier.

(And if your current system is “shove it all in a basket and pray,” no shame—been there. Let’s just take one small step forward together.)

Sending you hugs, a hot coffee, and a clutter-free corner of your home,

P.S. If you need a quick win today—try choosing just one type of art supply for the week. Hide the rest. Watch what happens. It’s magic. ✨
