How I Batch Tasks in Different Areas of My Life

It's been a while since I shared my thoughts on batching tasks and I realized it's not something I've talked about enough - at least in terms of how much I value it. First up, if you aren't familiar with what time batching is, it's essentially grouping similar tasks together. From answering emails for an hour straight to running all errands while I'm already out of the house to shooting a lot of content at once (while I'm in full makeup and hair), I batch non-stop. It's something that became even more important once I had limited time as mom and then even more important once Quarantine went into play and we didn't have childcare. ...

How to Spruce Up Your Home Without Renovating

Building a home was one of the most rewarding (exhausting, but rewarding nonetheless) experiences, especially since we finished up in time to bring George home to it. But there's something really fun about having a fixer-upper or a home that just needs a good polish. I've lived in spaces like this before and even now I'm always thinking up little projects here and there. Whether it's with seasonal decor, a small painting project or throwing down a new rug, there are endless ways to spruce up a space without having to break out the sledgehammers. ...

And a message I've really taken away from the Black community recently is that if we ever want to help create change, we have to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. ...
