This post is sponsored by: If you have a house full of little people like me, you probably feel like you are walking uphill both ways--in the snow---with no shoes. Or something like that. The point is, it kind of feels like a never ending battle and it kind of is. (You can download this printable at the bottom of the page). Okay, so mess is inevitable. But it also is manageable.

Simplifying Our Bathroom, Simplifying Our Routine
Before Hudson was born, like right before Hudson was born--I'm talking 38 weeks pregnant-- we gutted our bathroom. It was pure craziness.
