currently… upping our camping game with this ginormous tent. First of all, this was our first tent camping experience as a family of four. Second of all, I told John the four of us couldn’t fit in the small tent we own so he said he’d handle it. This one probably could hold the entire...
currently… settling into a routine now that the kids are back in school. loving my new treadmill desk attachment. I’ve been starting the day walking while working and it’s great for sneaking in more movement. wearing this adjustable Apple Watch strap so that I can wear my watch on my leg when I’m walking on the treadmill (if...
Last year an influencer I follow on Instagram shared a photo wearing a Levels CGM monitor. I watched her make changes to her nutrition, her health transform… and I was intrigued. But when I looked up the cost of the app + monitor, I immediately dismissed it. I’d lost weight multiple times in the past...
currently… finishing up my summer break. Those two months FLEW! enjoying a one-on-one week with Colin (his sister is in Florida visiting Grandma). We’ve got lots of fun things planned- Cirque du Soleil, Bandimere Speedway, Water World, and more! wearing this new summer dress. Initially I thought it was too little-house-on-the-prairie, but I’ve gotten lots of compliments...
Last week on the Happier podcast they shared an update on the 23 for 23 lists in honor of ‘Halfway Day’ and I thought I’d do the same! Here’s how the list is going so far… [My initial 23 for 23 list blog post for reference if you want more background/explanation on any items.] If...
currently… enjoying my summer break. I’ve been off Instagram for 3 weeks (deleted it from my phone!) and it’s been really refreshing. creating a custom video for our trip to Scotland. The photo above is from a ferry ride off the Aisle of Skye. wearing these awesome Vuori joggers (just wish they were more reasonably priced...
currently… wrapping up another school year. I think my favorite new-to-us activity this year was Cub Scouts (the photo above was from our recent camping trip). working my last work day until August! Summer break starts tomorrow! attempting a ‘screen free summer’ for the kids. No iPads or video games. Plus I’m removing Instagram from my...
currently… recovering from a work conference (back-to-back trips to Orlando for me this year!) carrying Colby all the places as he continues to recover from his bi-lateral ACL repair. He had a little hip injury set back last week but is back on track now with his progress. feeling accomplished after getting my ‘to read’ list down...
Last year a friend told me about her Remarkable tablet and explained how she uses it for her business. I had seen ads for it and hadn’t really considered buying one because I couldn’t envision how it would fit into my own business and client work. But when she showed me how she loaded templates,...
currently… unpacking from spring break in Florida. We visited Grandma and then did two days at Disney. creating our family video from the trip (my kids favorite post-trip tradition)! reading Sea of Tranquility. listening to Now is Not the Time to Panic on audiobook. watching the new season of Love Is Blind. eating these Monster Cookie protein bites. feeling a little...
currently… starting my days with a snowy 3 mile hike. I began this routine when the kids started school this fall and wasn’t sure if I’d be able to maintain it through the cold winter months, but I’m really enjoying this quiet time outside. (These Yaktrax are absolutely critical though). finishing my 2022 Family Yearbook. I...
I have listened to the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast for a long, long time and every year enjoy the ‘lists’ they each make (20 for 2020, 21 for 2021, etc). One thing I love is that they check back in at mid-year and year-end to share their progress AND they never finish every single...
currently… enjoying some time out of the office for the holidays. My kids have a super long break this year (they don’t go back to school until January 5th). entertaining lots of visitors this month. My husband actually created a spreadsheet to help everyone figure out who would be where and when, hah! loving these rechargeable...
This is my TENTH year making a book recommendation or ‘favorite reads’ list. But, this year was SO hard to narrow down because I read over 120 books! That’s DOUBLE the number I read last year (and I thought I read a lot of books last year). How did I read so many books? Audiobooks changed...
currently… easing back into the usual routine after a lovely Thanksgiving break. We went skiing three times! buying this little strap to hopefully help the kids carry their own ski gear (it’s their first year with poles which is even more to juggle). decorating for Christmas! This ornament is the family favorite this year. reading Mexican Gothic....
Colin, You are ten years old! I can’t believe we have hit DOUBLE DIGITS. For some reason this felt like a huge milestone for me as your mom. TEN YEARS. This year I made a special ‘Happy Birthday Colin’ video featuring clips from your childhood and gosh, it made me so emotional to watch those old baby...
Photo calendars are such a fun, personalized holiday gift so as I’ve done for the last 7 years (!!!), I created a FREE calendar template that you can print to make your own photo calendar using the Project Life App. It’s SUPER easy… no design skills required! HOW TO MAKE A PHOTO CALENDAR USING THE...
currently… recovering from my Mastermind Retreat last week. We took a cruise out of LA and spent our days at sea doing ‘hot seats’ where we dedicated 3-4 hours of attention to each person’s individual business. It was fabulous. dressing up for Halloween today. Jill is Luisa from Encanto and I’m her accompanying donkey. We wanted Colin...
Jill, You are eight years old, baby girl, and second grade is your scene! The first few weeks you came home telling me ALL about how much you love your teacher (she’s the best). At parent teacher conferences I loved to hear about how well you’ve been doing with your writing, but it also warmed my...

Actually, my name is Casey. As a newborn I resembled Fred Flintstone so my parents nicknamed me Freddy and it stuck. I am a professional photo organizer (yes, that's a thing!) who helps people all over the world make sense of their photo mess through organizing services and self-paced online courses.
I want to help you ENJOY your photos again!
