Motherhood

Welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Susie and I’m super excited to be sharing all things motherhood, homemaking, and productivity related with you. Here’s a little about me and my family:

My hubby and I have been married for 9 years. We have moved so many times during the last decade and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We love a good adventure and a fresh start. We have a hard time staying put for too long. Although we love moving to new places, we finally settled down for a while in beautiful central VIrginia. We just bought our first home a few months ago and we are working hard to get settled in. So I’ll definitely be sharing a little about our new home soon!

After 7 years of life just the two of us, we decided it was time to add to our family. We got pregnant and found out we would be having a little girl. Emily Grace was a preemie who was born at just 34 weeks. She had to spend a few weeks in the NICU but thankfully she was able to overcome so much and is now perfectly healthy. 

So now I’m a stay at home mama to a beautiful, busy, and sweet 1 ½ year old girl. She’s everything I never knew I needed. I went from having a career to a stay at home mama/homemaker overnight. I couldn’t be more grateful or love being home more, but it has definitely been a huge change. I’ve learned so much and finally feel like I’m getting the hang of this!

All I want to do through my blog is encourage other mamas! I definitely don’t know everything but I want to share as I’m learning. I’m obsessed with creating new systems and routines to make our home run smoothly. I love helping Emily continue to grow and learn. And I’m always looking for ways to do things in the most productive, effective, and quickest way possible. 

So, let’s be friends! I’ll be posting regularly on here and over on my instagram as well. I’m super excited to get to know you better!

Started decluttering in our laundry room! This cabinet wasn’t too bad to start, but I did need to get rid of some things and toss some random trash that was in here. I also wanted to rework how it was organized so it was easy to grab what I need most often #declutter #summerofdecluttering #declutterwithme #declutteredhome #declutteringtips

This is the easiest way I’ve learned to fold fitted sheets! Be sure you start on a large enough surface to lay the sheet out flat. I’m doing a crib sheet so it’s small but if you’re folding anything larger, use a bigger surface like a bed or floor. Lay it out as flat as you can to start. Flip the bottom corners inside out and use your hands to push them into the top corners. Now you’re working with a shape close to a rectangle once you adjust the side. Fold down the curved edge at the top towards the middle and pull up the bottom edge. Then fold in thirds or in half and you will have a nicely folded fitted sheet ✨🧺 #laundrytips #fittedsheet #fittedsheetfolding #laundryhack #laundry

Decluttered two more cabinets. The way we just shoved random stuff in these cabinets the past year 😂 I’m so glad I got everything out and put things that are actually useful in this space in our home! #declutter #summerofdecluttering #declutterwithme #declutteredhome #declutteringtips
