Many years ago, Mark and I decided that we wanted to be a family that learned to live with less money so we could have more intentional time with our family. Today’s article is an adapted excerpt from our Living With Less So Your Family Has More book and is all...
I’ve got to be honest: I am gift-giving challenged. Giving really thoughtful gifts rarely comes easy to me. It takes a lot of extra thought and energy. Maybe you can relate? So when this time of year comes around, can I tell you one of my favorite things?...
I was recently reading an article stating that 45% of people in the United States would prefer to skip out on the holidays rather than deal with the stress of it all. Seems crazy, right? But if we think about it, it’s not all that surprising. From family...
Do you sometimes feel yourself struggling with low energy? Do you often feel overwhelmed with all that needs to be done? Are you lacking motivation or feeling unproductive? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Susan Seay is an international speaker, certified...
Take a minute to look around your house. How many items in the room represent something on your “to do” list? Every time you pass by that pile of mail are you reminded that you have bills to pay? Do you have a basket of laundry from last week still waiting to be...
In the three months before my dad passed away I found myself several times needing to take off quickly from my home in Normal, IL to be with my parents in Indianapolis, IN. Dad was taken to the hospital in an ambulance several times and I needed to be there to help my...
Take a look at this picture. The desk on the left is Mark’s. The one on the right is mine. This, my friends, is the difference between innies and outies. Innies tend to file. Outies tend to pile. I first talked about innies and outies in my Better Together book...
When I asked last week on Facebook and Instagram where you are struggling with the most with this unique life we’re living, the biggest challenge mentioned was managing home responsibilities with work responsibilities and overseeing your child’s online...
It was just three weeks ago when Mark and I got up and prepared to head to the airport for our speaking trip near Washington DC. As he does every day, Mark headed downstairs and made his coffee. He spent some quiet time and headed into the kitchen for a second cup of...
I’ve been baking cut out cookies with my kids and grandkids for 32 years. It’s one of my favorite things to do! Several years ago I created a suggested plan for baking cutout cookies with kids of ALL ages. That’s what I’m sharing with you today!...
I’ll just put this here and put it away later. I’ll just sleep in this morning and go to the gym tomorrow morning. I’ll just have one handful of M&M’s. I’ll just fold the laundry tomorrow. Rationalizing. We all do it. It’s a coping mechanism when we’re...
Several years ago when we were hosting a young man from Poland, he wanted to make a traditional Polish meal for our family. I took him to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients he needed and he asked me where the leek’s were. I had no idea. I’d never...
The first time I remember eating eggplant was when my mother made Eggplant Parmesan growing up. I confess it wasn’t my favorite meal. Because of that, I’ve stayed away from eggplant until recently. I decided to give it a second chance after...
Last summer I fell in love with kale after we grew it in our garden and it produced from mid-summer until Thanksgiving! Kale is a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Folate, Iron, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Vitamin A,...
We’ve had a wonderful harvest of green beans this summer! Whether it’s garden harvest or fresh beans from the grocery store, I’ve grown to prefer fresh beans over canned or frozen beans (although canned or frozen beans are perfectly fine to eat!)...
