It’s Thanksgiving time, and I want to let you know how grateful I am to have you in my life! Because of you, I celebrated my 10-year anniversary this month! 10 years of creating order and peace in people’s homes, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

I hope your holidays are joyful and spent with the ones you love, and that you’re not stressed about being disorganized, or about all of the yummy food you’re going to eat! 🙂 I know that’s easier said than done, so keep reading, take a deep breath, and just ENJOY!!!!!

7 Tips for Eating Healthy During the Holidays

\"\"

While the average person gains only 1 pound over the holidays, research shows that most of us never lose that pound. So by the time we’re in our 40s or 50s, we may weigh a lot more than we like. Holiday weight gain, sadly, is like getting a really bad present with no gift receipt.

\"\"Back to School already?

Dear Candice,
I hope you’re having a nice summer!! School is still a month away (yay!), but it might be a good idea to kind-of-sort-of start thinking about it a little bit. ? One area that’s fun to think about is your kids’ memorabilia. Sometimes it can get overwhelming, I know, but setting up a system now will help make it more manageable when it starts pouring in! And I LOVE this organizing solution in the following article. SUPER easy to set up and maintain!! I hope you think so, too.
