What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

That’s awesome and looks like so much fun! I loved reading this because my hubby and I just went to Kauai in September! Our kids are still young (the oldest is 8 and we are expecting #5), but we are planning a trip to Disneyworld next year because I know it will be something they will NEVER forget and that they will all LOVE. I hope to be able to make memories like this for them!
Didn’t you just love Kauai? I wish I could find a way for us to live there somehow. Congratulations on #5! Sounds very similar to my family. My oldest was 9 when I had number 5. Good luck with everything and hope you get your Disneyland trip. Your kids will make so many great memories! Thanks for sharing that!
I loved this post. I have 13 siblings so we never went to Hawaii haha but I really want to take my family on some fun trips. We are just getting started, with an almost 2 year old and a baby on the way, but down the road I would LOVE to do something like this!
Thirteen siblings would for sure be difficult for traveling! haha! But I LOVE big families! Good luck with your new baby! They grow up so fast!
We have had the same discussion and decision in our family to travel as much as possible while the kids are still in the house. My oldest is 14 and will be out of the house in 3 years, so we have a family “bucket list” planned of places we want to see. We have been to Mexico (a cruise to the Mexican Riviera and a trip to Ixtapa to Club med), Whistler, Disneyland and lego land, Arizona, Washington DC and this summer, we will do a 5 state midwest tour. Next up on the list are Hawaii, Mexico (again!), and somewhere in the Caribbean. Ambitious, I know, but I think travel is such an important bonding time for your family where you can have so many experiences that are shared and memories that last a lifetime.
I love that! You have been to some amazing places. Sounds like your kids are getting some great exposure to other cultures and people and I think that is really important. Can you adopt me? ;) I would love to take a cruise somewhere warm. Especially right now! Thanks so much for sharing this Rachel!
What wonderful memories you made in Kauai–so much more important than anything else. Love that you got to go. We definitely want to travel more and hope to start doing so…and soon. Wolf Mountain yesterday was a start. Also? LOVE Kauai. We visited those same spots and now I’m dying to return.
We are lucky enough to go to Kauai every 3 years and have always gone with extended family starting when my 21 year old was 7 months old. So many wonderful memories there! Paradise on Earth… thanks for sharing your trip. We learned to SUP on our last trip too and now I paddle around our lake here in MN most summer mornings!
What a great post! I agree with you 100%. We didn’t have a lot of money while our daughters were growing up, but we tried to do things together as a family. Those same girls have grown up and now have families of their own. When we get together…which isn’t very often; because they live so far away…they always start talking about growing up and all the memories they have. Some of the best memories are when we lived in Hawaii. We did as much as we could while we were there and those memories are priceless! Our daughters are very close and are each others bests friends. What you do now will really help your family grow closer in the years to come. Good for you being able to have this wonderful trip!
There was something about this post that touched me. Being a mom IS the hardest thing I have ever done as well and there are days I think….”What was I thinking wanting to be a mom?!!!?” However, most of the time the rewards outweigh those times. I also think in our ‘hurried’ world people think that family time is rushing the kids from one sporting event to dance classes and then back to a scout meeting (etc.). It is so important to just have family down time, where you just chill out with each other, whether it is on vacation or sitting at home in your family room. You are so right… family is your constant.. that place that you can hopefully always count on and be there. Thanks again for sharing your insight and some of your family memories with us.
Awesome pics!! Looks like you had a fabulous time!!
I’m from Kaua’i ~ looking at your photos made me homesick! How great that you were able to go before all of your precious children leave the nest and venture into the world. Not sure if you were able to go to church while you were there, but the members there are AWESOME too! Can’t wait til we can make the trip home again!
I’m so happy you posted about this! I wondered if there was an event or something, but no, you surprised the kids?!? Did you pack ahead of time for them? Wow, I am amazed at the surprised part! Good for you, I am a big believer in time away, and we have a tradition to go for a 2 night stay to a “cabin in the woods” over Christmas vacation each year. The kids look forward to it, and it is SO much fun! We took our boys to the east coast, and yes, trips like this big or small are HUGE memory builders and memories bring unity and love. Very fun. Very pretty pics, too!
What an amazing trip! I am right there with you on the family time. Someone I knew in high school decided that their family (and seeing the world/giving their kids a global education) was so important that they restructured their lives (including jobs) to live/work around the country–and then in various other countries. They blog at http://thevagabondgene.blogspot.com. It’s interesting to stop by occasionally and see what they’re up to.
You have such a beautiful family. What a wonderful place to visit and build life long memories with them!!
Thanks so much Shannon. We had a great trip! Thanks for stopping by and always taking the time to leave a super sweet comment. I always appreciate the effort you make! xo
We were stationed on Oahu for 3 years. We took a mini vacation to Kauai and loved it! Did you see Waimea Canyon? Breathtaking! I also harvested some salt from the salt ponds there. We told the kids if they caught a chicken, we’d cook it for dinner. They tried, but luckily I didn’t have to pluck anything!
We are a military family and try to shove family memories into everything. When we moved back to the states from Korea last year, we had our car delivered to Seattle and stayed a few days to see the sights before driving down to our new station in Alabama. We had SO much fun along the way even though we were strapped in the car for hours when we could have flown directly to our new home.
As for kids, people tend to only think in terms of what is best for their family, and not think about your family being different. 5 is right for you. 3 is right for me and 7 was right for my sister. The great thing is, the world will only be a better place with as many kids as you raise in a home like yours. The world can use more happy, loving, well-raised kids! They will be great members of society.
Awsome pictures, i hope you had a good time. thanks for sharing your experience, now in the covis19 time, travelling is a big challenge. Specially when you are heading towards airport.
It was such an amazing trip. I hope that you are able to go one day.
