I am counting down the days to my 30th birthday, and I couldn’t be more excited! Truly! As I was brainstorming ways to celebrate here on the blog, I couldn’t help but think that 30 lists of {30} items would be just about perfect for my type-A, list-making self. Join me for the next month as I share the things I’ve learned in the past 30 years and my hopes for the future! See all 30 Days of {30} posts here.

I love smart ideas, quick tips that make you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?” or say, “Whoa, so cool”, and make your life easier in the process. I think this is probably one of my favorite things about Pinterest — the abundance of simple, doable, smart ideas to Pin, remember and incorporate into your life.

Over the last year, I’ve gotten away from posting these smart tips, for a variety of reasons, and that’s something I hope to change in the coming months. I certainly don’t have this topic covered, but I’d love to share more of the little ideas that our family has to share rather than just focusing on the big, heavy topics. So look for more of those to come!

Anyone else have a thing for office supplies? I’ll admit that this is the area that I have the hardest time decluttering, and I might, maybe, probably have more notebooks and folders than any person needs, but I just love fresh, crisp paper, pretty patterns and a notebook waiting to be filled. So when Invite.l, [...]
