Wrapping, tagging, and getting ready to drop off another batch of teething rings for @minnyandpaul's adorable Baby Bird gift box! It's a total go-to baby shower gift: gender-neutral, all locally made, seriously useful products. Eep! Giving me baby fever. 👶🏼
Dreaming about slow weekend mornings on this busy Monday...following an even busier weekend.🤣 We were booked with soccer, swim meets, birthday parties, and swimming lessons, but we also got some QT with friends in.❤️ Raising a hot cuppa coffee to you for a good week! 📸@caitabrams
Finally FRIDAY!!! Finishing up some important projects and trying to plan out next week. I like to know what I'm in for when I close down my computer for the weekend so I can focus on my family instead of work. Any other pre-weekend planners out there?? . . . . #planning #plannergirl #stressfreeweekend #friyay #planner #sundayscaries #fridayplans #weekendplans #prepare #organizedfamily #organized #organization

Warning: long post! I've been working diligently over the past few months-ish with @laurenzeien and her team @neatmethod Twin Cities to get my home decluttered and organized. ⠀ ⠀ Here's the thing, though. I have a lot of shame around being disorganized and having too much stuff. I have lots of "reasons" (excuses) for the problem: I have moved around a lot, I moved to Minneapolis with a newborn and 3-year-old...in the winter, our basement flooded, my work requires “stuff,” etc. etc. blah blah blah. For a long time I put off getting help with tackling my overflowing storage areas, basement, and garage, thinking - "I *should* be able to do this myself! I have to MAKE the time. I don't know if I can afford to pay someone to help me sort through my crap, it's my fault it's in this state to begin with."⠀ ⠀ I used some dirty words like "should" when I thought about it. But guess what, I never DID anything about it. So my problem remained just that, a problem. BUT!!!! But then, Lauren came with a bada$$ team of women and they helped me. I cried. The project is 90% done and my last 10% feels totally manageable. This has truly changed my mindset on how I shop and live. (More on this some other time, but let’s just say there will be a lot more intention involved.) ⠀ I also learned that it's okay to get help for things causing mental stress - nobody has time for that. And it's okay to take on a bonus client to help pay for it. (Lord knows I'd rather be designing than organizing!!!) I want to encourage people to figure out where they can hire help to remove some stress (even if it's latent stress). I'm not perfect, no one is, and I can't do it all. If you need help organizing and you're in the Twin Cities, call @laurenzeien, if you're in the Bay Area call @lessmessmorelife. There's an organization called @napo_natl that can help locate pros in other areas. GOOD LUCK, and GET SOME DAMN HELP if you need it!!! I’m so glad I did.
It's Friday, and I don't know about you, but it's been a heckuva week around here. Time to #treatyoself.⠀ ⠀ {📸 @caitabrams who shot the cover story of this month’s @mspmag 🙌🏻, donuts by @bogartsdoughnuts, coasters and mug designed by me for @shutterfly, striped napkins from @ikeausa}
