Spring Break and Parenting Adults
As a parent, you go through different seasons with your kids and you grow right alongside them. Parenting your infant is entirely different than parenting your young adult. Sometimes they need a hand to hold, and other times they need a confidant.
Hi Y’all
Recently I had the chance to write a guest blog post for Red Stick Mom about Parenting Adults and learning to enjoy this season of life.
As a parent, you go through different seasons with your kids and you grow right alongside them. Parenting your infant is entirely different than parenting your young adult. Sometimes they need a hand to hold, and other times they need a confidant.
No matter your season of life remember to love the season you are in today.

In today's fast-paced world, there is always so much to do and so little time. We all want to be more productive and efficient but often struggle to find the right balance. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a stay-at-home parent, productivity is crucial to achieving your goals. Check out our top three productivity tips that will help you optimize your time and achieve more.
Prioritize Your Tasks
The first step to being productive is to identify your most important tasks. Prioritizing your tasks will help you focus on what matters most and avoid wasting time on less important activities. Start by making a to-do list and ranking your tasks in order of importance. You can use tools like Trello, Asana, or Todoist to help you stay organized and keep track of your tasks. Once you have your list, focus on the top three tasks and work on them first. Completing your most important tasks early in the day will give you a sense of accomplishment and motivation to tackle the rest of your to-do list.
Take Breaks
While it may seem counterintuitive, taking breaks can increase your productivity. Studies have shown that short breaks throughout the day can improve concentration, reduce stress, and boost creativity. Try the Pomodoro technique, where you work for 25 minutes and then take a 5-minute break. After four Pomodoros, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes. Step away from your desk during breaks, stretch, or take a walk. This will help you recharge and return to your work with renewed energy.
Eliminate Distractions
Distractions can be a major productivity killer. Whether it's social media, email notifications, or the temptation to check your phone every few minutes, distractions can derail your focus and prevent you from getting work done. To eliminate distractions, turn off notifications, put your phone on silent or in another room, and use website blockers like Freedom or StayFocusd. You can also try working in a quiet, distraction-free environment like a library or coffee shop. You can focus on your work and get more done in less time by eliminating distractions.
Productivity is not about working harder; it's about working smarter. You can optimize your time and achieve more by prioritizing your tasks, taking breaks, and eliminating distractions. Remember, productivity is a habit that takes time to develop, so be patient and consistent in your efforts. With these productivity tips, you can become a more efficient and effective version of yourself.

Create a Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Spring is a season of renewal and rejuvenation. It's the perfect time to declutter your closet and start fresh with a capsule wardrobe.

Spring is a season of renewal and rejuvenation. It's the perfect time to declutter your closet and start fresh with a capsule wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a collection of essential, timeless pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits. By investing in quality pieces that you love and that fit your style, you can simplify your wardrobe and make getting dressed a breeze.
Choosing the Right Pieces
The key to creating a successful capsule wardrobe is choosing the right pieces. Start with a color scheme that you love and that complements your skin tone. Then, choose a mix of tops, bottoms, dresses, and outerwear that can be worn together in different combinations. Look for pieces that have a classic, timeless feel, such as a trench coat, a denim jacket, or a white button-up shirt. And don't forget about accessories! A few statement pieces, like a colorful scarf or a statement necklace, can add personality to your outfits.
Mixing and Matching
Once you have your capsule wardrobe pieces, it's time to start mixing and matching. Look for ways to combine different pieces to create new outfits. For example, a chambray shirt can be worn with jeans, a skirt, or even a pair of shorts. A black blazer can be dressed up with a skirt or worn casually with jeans. And a simple white t-shirt can be paired with just about anything. By focusing on versatile pieces that can be worn in different ways, you'll be able to create a variety of outfits without feeling like you're wearing the same thing over and over again.
Staying Organized
One of the benefits of a capsule wardrobe is that it's easy to stay organized. You'll have fewer pieces to keep track of, and everything will be coordinated, so you won't have to spend as much time deciding what to wear each day. To keep your capsule wardrobe in tip-top shape, store your pieces in a way that makes sense for you. Some people prefer to hang everything in their closet, while others like to fold their clothes and store them in drawers. Whatever method you choose, make sure that your pieces are easily accessible and that you can see everything at a glance.
A spring capsule wardrobe is a great way to simplify your wardrobe and make getting dressed a breeze. By choosing the right pieces, mixing and matching, and staying organized, you'll be able to create a collection of outfits that you love and that make you feel confident and stylish. So why not give it a try? Your closet (and your mornings) will thank you!

Here are 5 things to start doing for a clutter free home today
Find a place in your home for your purse
Find a place for your purse, keys, glasses, anything that you need to walk out the door. These items need to have the same home every single day. Maybe it's a hook for your keys and purse by the door, maybe it's a table as you walk in, whatever it is make sure it works for you and your space.
Reset your house at the end of every day.
That means throw pillows get straightened, throw blankets go in the basket, dishes get done, make your house look like nobody lives in it. Remember to clear off your counters and tables so they are ready for tomorrow’s use. Take out the trash as soon as it gets full--it will make it easier to keep your home clean if there aren't piles of garbage sitting around! And if there’s any kid messes, have them help you reset their spaces too!
Toss your Junk Mail
Junk mail. Toss it before you ever even walk into your house. Go straight to your garbage can right now.
Everyone gets a Laundry Day
We all have laundry. Nobody wants to do it. Pick a day. That's the day you do laundry. If you have a lot of kids, it might be one day for each kid, but do your laundry.
Pick a Day to do errands
Are you doing errands every single day? Well, just stop, because that's just silly. Pick one day. Do them all. One errand day, And that's it that’s all you got.
Do those five things and you're going to stay organized better than you ever have. I promise. Do it today!
