10 Things You Didn't Know Before Kids

  1. That children will change settings on your tvs and phones that you never knew existed.
  2. That multiple times a day you will wonder how something is wet.
  3. You will read a kid's book aloud for the 1000th time and realize you are on the last page without ever "reading" it.
  4. You plan trips based around where you can park and if you can navigate a store with your double stroller. If they don't have carts....fuhhget about it.
  5. Internet shopping isn't for fun; it's a necessity. (see above)
  6. You now know your friends that had kids before you hadn't forgotten about you. They were just consumed with making snacks, cleaning up messes, reading blogs to fix that weeks's worry/issue and before falling asleep at night going through their list of to dos probably thought I need to call/text/plan a girl's night out with so and so.
  7. You plan vacations on how long your brood can be in the car before everyone loses their shit, how much stuff you will need to pack and can you walk everywhere?
  8. You plan your wardrobe around what bottoms won't let your ass hang out while wrestling your child out of the library/zoo/dentist/playground (insert any place when nap time is approaching) that they decide they do not want to leave.
    Which tops your baby won't be able to expose you to an unsuspecting cashier or bystander.
  9. Staples are no longer bread and milk, but applesauce packets, gogurt, goldfish crackers, diapers and flushable wipes.
  10. You no longer have an idea who Jennifer Aniston is dating or whom the front runner is on the Bachelor, but you CAN name all the trucks on Blaze and the Monster Machines, do the Hot Dog dance, Crazy Shake and know all about Bingo and Rolly's adventures - all thanks to the constant barrage of Nick Jr. and Disney Jr.

10 Organization Tips to Manage Digital and Paper Clutter

(Edited and reposted from 1/16/17 blog post that accidentally got deleted) I am a little behind on my new year/get organized post because I went and had a baby 2 weeks ago ;) I wanted to share a quick list of things you can implement today to help organize the digital chaos and control the paper clutter in your life. 1)    Set up a Secondary Email Account I have a separate email account for stores and online shopping.   This is the email address I give out at checkout and for online purchases.   Makes it super easy when out shopping to do a quick search for coupons and easy to locate tracking information as well as receipts you’ve opted to have emailed to you. 2)    Unsubscribe Unsubscribe from any newsletters or email lists you no longer find beneficial.   If you find yourself constantly deleting without opening, unsubscribe.   I should also add read and delete emails every day.   A cluttered email inbox, especially if it is a p...

Initials, Inc. - 3 Organization Items Reviewed

I love to highlight game changing products! It is no secret I LOVE organizing, like something could be clinically wrong with me.  I can't get enough of Pinterest because of this, shopping at The Container Store and Ikea (yes please!). There used to be a show on TV called The Amanda's, about a group of professional organizers from Alabama that went into homes and organized problem spaces.  I would have worked for them if they were local.  (Do yourself a favor and follow them on Instagram @theamandasorganizing) If you want to follow my Organization Porn (it's a real thing) Pin with me on Pinterest "Organize It" Pinterest board Anyway, in January I joined this fabulous company, Initials, Inc. as an Independent Creative Partner. ( https://www.myinitials-inc.com/kaceyk ) I love their products, the affordability, quality and their free personalization.  I have a great kit full of products, but today my first order came with items I chose, with my pre...

Just a Stage

Today on the way to Play School (think pre-pre school) I caught a glimpse of you in the back seat. All handsome and quietly looking out the window. How are we in this stage; where you now leave mommy to spend time with other adults and children while I run errands with your baby brother? Childhood, and parenthood for that matter, are just a string of stages we carefully, yet optimistically navigate. In your dad and my case case we tend to look back more than forward it seems. We were just lamenting the other night how, in what feels like days, your vocabulary has changed. No longer do you say "structions" (instructions) or "The kea" (Ikea). When we still use your toddler slang, you now correct us. You no longer wake in the night or give us much grief at bedtime. You are even allowing us to take your picture again. Quietly and swiftly we have moved into this preschool stage. This stage where you are becoming more and more independent. You wa...
