Work + Home

The lovely, “B” word. Balance. 😉 Between work and home, and everything in between, how do you find balance in your life? I’m not even close to having it figured out but I’ve also grown a lot in this area over the years. It’s a constant give and take and something I work at daily. But here’s what helps me and hopefully can help you in one way or another. 🙂


I have a planner and use it pretty often. Eric and I also use Google Calendar so we know what each other’s schedule is. I use both for work, home, etc. I like to be organized and I contribute a lot of it to having things planned out.

When I’m at work, I work and I try to not bring work home. I have my lesson plans laid out each week and try to use my time at school wisely. I also get to school about an hour and a half before the kids arrive. Mornings are my time. 🙂

I plan out our meals for the week. I hate stopping at the grocery store more than I absolutely have to. I like taking one trip a week and that’s it. I list all the ingredients I need for that week’s meals and try not to stray too far from it.

In the evenings, Eric and I try to be intentional about eat dinner together, going for a walk, or doing something where our technology is put away and we are able to focus on us.

At the end of each day, we try to pick up as much as possibly. I like to wake up to a somewhat clean house so I don’t feel behind before the day even begins! You can read some of my organizing tips and tricks, here! A few things that have helped a lot in this area are this ottoman and these crates. SO many of you purchased the ottoman and I hope you are loving it!

What are some of your tips?!
