9 min - #158: Daily Goals as a SAHM of 4 Kids 6 and Under
- Starting the day with an empty dishwasher. This typically happens the night before, it’s the last thing my husband does before coming up stairs for bed.
- The daily load of laundry, ideally started first thing in the morning
- A shower. Doesn’t happen everyday, at this point
- 10-15 minutes of weights and or a 30+ minute stroller walk
- One small home task, like vacuuming a room, or wiping down the bathroom, organizing a drawer, etc.
- A clean kitchen after breakfast + a home reset before leaving the house
- Dinner prep while my kids eat lunch
- Reseting the coffee maker for the next day
- Another home reset during post-lunch nap / quiet time
- Rest in bed while kids are napping / doing quiet time.
- Putting together a snack plate for my kids before my daughter gets home from school
- Resetting school backpacks
- Putting away the load of laundry from the morning

16 min - #157: What We Ate This Week, How I Prepped, & What I Spent, Part V
Welcome to Installment #5 of WWATW, how I prepped and what I spent! This was an unusual week for us, as we had two epic snowstorms, so grocery shopping and meal planning were very much fly by night. We did manage to get groceries mid-week and the grand total for the 6 of us was $228 at Trader Joes.

13 min - #156: Organizing Your Family Photos
A very daunting, but totally doable task! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you tackle this beast in bite sized chunks:
- Upload and sort all photos from your phone, digital camera, USBs, etc. to an external hard drive (I have this one 1T External Hard Drive). Go slowly, month by month, year by year.
- From there, delete excess from your phone, digital camera, USBs, etc.
- Pick out favorites from each event / year — Upload to DropBox, Google Drive, Amazon Photos as a 3rd back-up choice
- Print physical copies of favorite photos (mPix is a great place!), and update photo frames around house
- Order photo boxes for each child, and fill them as the years by by
- Finally order 2024 Book -- Episode #49 How to Curate a Family Yearbook
- Another item I've been negligent on are baby books, so that's getting added to this projects list!
