    A BIG CHANGE HAPPENED: Book Review

    / 1 Comment

    “Change can be challenging for everyone, but it can feel especially overwhelming for children. As parents, we experience transitions alongside them, navigating not only their questions and emotions but also our own.” - Darby A. Strickland, MDiv, Counselor at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). If you know a child who is experiencing a big change, or is about to, then please consider this review of the picture book, A BIG CHANGE HAPPENED.

    MAKING HOME YOUR HAPPY PLACE: Book Review and Giveaway

    / 7 Comments

    I am a life-long stacker—not a hoarder, just a stacker. I have stacks of notes, towers of books, and a pile of holiday décor to pack away. It’s what’s crammed inside the closets and the attic that weighs most heavily on me. So, when given the opportunity to review the book, MAKING HOME YOUR HAPPY PLACE: A Real-Life Guide to Decluttering Without the Overwhelm, I grabbed it. If you have tried to declutter your house before by using baskets, bins, or a system you couldn’t maintain, then this book is for you.
