A Tiny Organizational Hack for Kids Art Supplies

February 13, 2026 by Claire Leave a Comment

And I really can’t take credit for this one as I was inspired by my sister-in-law’s setup in Boston for her kids/my nephews 🙂

Our art and craft supplies have been a downright disaster for a couple of years now. Until recently, they lived in an old baby bathtub on the counter and were constantly spilling out into food prep areas or onto the floor. The scissors were always MIA–usually somewhere in my 1st grader’s bedroom–and clearing out used-up or broken things was an annoying and time-consuming project.… Read More »

Late Summer Meal Plan (Gluten-Free & Kid-Friendly!)

August 7, 2025 by Claire Leave a Comment

A better name for this post might be “the zucchini and green bean meal plan,” as our fridge is overflowing with both at the moment! Our garden is about to hit peak production and we’re just trying to use everything up. We also have tomatoes and strawberries in plenty, but those are easy to munch on and never last long in this house.… Read More »

Our Annual Garden Lineup {2025}

May 18, 2025 by Claire Leave a Comment

I had a request to share what we’re growing in our garden this year, so here it is! Everything we’ve planted and hope to plant this year in our backyard.

Last year we had some big garden successes: strawberries, zucchini, tomatoes, and putting in a lot of perennial flowers and herbs that my mom gave us from her garden. We have a row of hostas in front of our house now, and a big bed of lilies and phlox in the backyard. We also have oregano and chives that are coming back in our raised beds. Hooray for perennials! Less work and money :)… Read More »

12 Tips to Get Rid of Paper Clutter

February 28, 2024 by Claire Leave a Comment

get-rid-of-paper-clutter-titlePaper clutter… the bane of every homemaker’s existence. We receive more every day in the mail, kids’ backpacks, art projects made at home, etc. Paring down to the necessities feels almost impossible due to the sheer bulk of paper we receive and store in our homes.

Even in college, I kept a filing box in my dorm room with the basics. Financial aid and tax forms, personal/sentimental papers, essays, medical records. I remember some surprised comments from friends when they noticed, but it helped me graduate without stuffed boxes of essays and random receipts to lug home!… Read More »

How to Deep Clean Your Fridge

February 22, 2024 by Claire Leave a Comment

Last week I shared about the benefits of a clean fridge–but how exactly does one achieve a sparkling, sanitized refrigerator?

When we were fresh out of college and moving frequently between apartments, I rarely cleaned our fridge (save to wipe down spills) because I wasn’t sure how to do it. Some people say you should use vinegar, or bleach, or dish soap? Are any of those too abrasive? Do you need a specialized cleaner? Do you need to take everything out or is spray-and-wiping enough? How often should you be doing all that?

Here’s how we deep clean our fridge now. It took us about 45 minutes as our fridge is quite large and has many removable components; it may take you less time depending on the size and cleanliness of yours.… Read More »
