In case you're shopping this week...

Hi Reader,

I hope you had a great week and that you were able to get some decluttering done!

I know we need to do a lot more, that's for sure.

It's been oddly hot here in MN, it reached 90 the other day...that is not typical for October in Minnesota. Typically it's in the 60s or cooler by now. It's been weird, but I also know that soon enough it'll be super cold and I'll be longing for these hot days. :)

As you probably know by all the ads and whatnot, today is the start of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days!

In the past, I've spent countless hours getting blog posts ready to share my fav deals with everyone but honestly...it hasn't ever been worth my effort. I hate to say it but sometimes I need to look at my blog and realize what has an actual return on investment (ROI) and what doesn't. And anything to do with Prime Day or Big Deal Days doesn't.

SO...I'm not going to be sharing a bunch of deals with you because if you do choose to buy something during this sale, you probably already have the item in mind.

I will say two things though:

  • I purchased the 12-cup Ninja Food Processor because I keep burning out our current one when I make fiber protein balls for my kids. Quite the good deal which you can see here (affiliate link)
  • If you DO happen to plan on buying something on Amazon, it'd help keep my blog going if you click through my affiliate link here first. It won't cost you a thing, just might give me pennies of commission that help me with website costs and such. Thanks for your consideration!

Have a Great Week!

How to Declutter Kids Toys without Fights

. Hi Reader, We've all heard of Spring cleaning but what about Fall decluttering? I'm honestly not sure if it's a 'thing' but it's something we tend to do. Here in MN, along with many other places, the Fall is the start of spending more time inside and though it's not cold here yet, we started thinking ahead that getting rid of some of the toys the kids don't play with anymore would be a good idea. With this in mind, we worked on the toys in our living room last Saturday. We got all three...
