At the Blog Hop

Sister #1 HERE!!

When I have some free time I like to do a little blog hopping.

I find joy in reading others successes,

home improvements, cooking tips, organizational ideas and recipes.

I love what my minds does when I see others creative side!  It inspires me.

So I thought I'd share of few of my favs.

A Bountiful Kitchen

My sisters and I recently spend some time with Si Foster at a bofm365 meet up a couple of weekends ago at the #heberhouse and she dazzled us with her cooking talents.  I'm anxiously awaiting for her to publish her ginger cookie recipe -- I couldn't stop with just one of those delicious babies!  Check her out.  She's got a great balance of healthy and sweets!

Secrets

 

Jenn is a recent insta-friend of mine that has shared with me her families struggle with depression and anxiety.  We clicked immediately as we've had similar experiences.  Jenn has given me permission to share her blog and KUDOS to her for having the courage to talk about such a topic! #thereispowerinvulnerability

All Things Thrifty

All my sisters know that I'm pretty tight with my CASH.  I'm a saver and I love to be thrifty!  I came across this blog from Brooke Ulrich when we did the #iambraveandbeautiful campaign.  TOTAL DIY fun!  She has some really great Halloween treats and decorations too!   Love the variety.

Real Simple
The Container Store

  
Here are a couple of websites that I love to visit when I'm feeling in the organizing mood or just looking for an idea. 

I love organization.  Things in my life have a space.  I'm not a huge clutter fan.  I can't think straight!  For me -- a life with less clutter makes it easier to find inner peace, to focus and to keep attention on what is most important and meaningful in life.

Clutter creates distraction.  It can create stress.  However, after I have uncluttered "something" (the counter top paper collector basket, a closet, the tupperware or junk drawer, the Christmas decorations, or even just one bin in the storage area) there is usually a sense of feeling calmer and lighter, a bit more upbeat and being able to think more clearly.  ....and I can find things!  Sometimes I even find something that I forgot that I had...ha ha. #merrychristmasalloveragain.  I try to pick two or three projects a week to de-clutter.  Give it a go!

Now lastly for those that follow us on instagram or have been regular readers of our blog know that we have missionaries serving for the LDS church.  Four of them to be exact! 

1.2.3.4.
