1. Meal Planning That Takes 5 Minutes
I do not have time for complicated meal plans. Meal Planning Made Simple is exactly what it sounds like—theme nights, rotating staples, and zero stress about what’s for dinner.
2. The Weekly Room Reset System
These checklists are my secret weapon. One quick reset per day (or even just a few a week) and my house magically feels… manageable. I laminated mine and keep them on a clipboard in the kitchen.
What helps it work:
3. Laundry Room Upgrades That Actually Help
Okay this might be my favorite. I made a few tiny tweaks to our laundry room and it’s 100x easier to keep up with now.
🧺 This lint bin saves me from constantly picking fuzz off the top of the dryer🧽 This dryer ball organizer 🧺 Rolling Hamper with liner bags = game changer

4. Clear Storage Bins = Instant Calm
These clear square bins have been a total game-changer. I use them in pretty much every room—from the pantry to under sinks to the kids’ rooms. You can see exactly what’s in them without opening anything, and the square shape means no wasted space.
They also make it so easy to clean around—I just lift the bin, wipe the surface, and drop it back in. No pulling out 20 random loose items or reorganizing every time. At the end of the day, I just toss random stuff back into its bin and reset the house in minutes.
My favorites:🧼 Clear square bins with drawer
BONUS: My Vacuum/Mop Combo = OBSESSED
I get questions all the time about what I use to clean our floors. This one of my favorite easy wins—my ride-or-die vacuum/mop combo that actually makes cleaning feel like less of a chore.
If you’re trying to make your home feel less chaotic and more doable—these are the exact things I’m using. And if you want a full reset plan…
walks you step-by-step through getting your systems in place, one room at a time. No perfection needed—just progress.
