Kids are back in school (or, if you live where I am – they soon will be!), schedules are beginning to reappear in lieu of lazy mornings and late nights, and life is about to start getting hectic! The great news is, life doesn’t have to get out-of-c0ntrol-crazy once summer ends. We have been sharing some of our best tips for keeping life simple, even as the fall schedules begin. Take a deep breath. You can do this!
Here is a little review of what we’ve been sharing on HowDoesShe this month!

Money and finances can be such an enormous source of stress in our lives, am I right? I know it should be obvious, but it’s possible to have big dreams while on a budget. The trick is, getting your money to work FOR you and not against you! Our fabulous guest, Selena, shares her great tips in this post!
For me, “what should I make for supper?” is the eternal question. It doesn’t help when I’ve got my little ones asking, for what seems like the umpteenth time, “What’s for dinner? I’m huuuuuungry!” Allison shares one easy solution with a make-ahead freezer taco filling that will make dinner time MUCH more enjoyable for mom 😉
Who doesn’t love a newborn? They smell so sweet (most of the time) and the urge to smooch those chubby cheeks is almost impossible to resist! But, the truth is, they are a LOT of work. Nicolette has done her homework and shares some baby essentials that will make the job of mothering a newborn so much easier – and she shares the ones you can do without! This is a must read!

Hi :} I know this is king of lame and silly but I clicked on a link on facebook which led me here and I read the story very enthused to start following some of these simplicity plans, then as I scroll down I saw the name and bio at the bottom, and thought I’d send a shout out and a big Hi! to a fellow Bobbi Jo 🙂 who also happens to be a mom to four daughters and is a photographer :D. I just thought the coincidences were too cute to go without comment :). I have four beautiful girls, am too name Bobi Jo but with one less letter ;}~ and have been an avid photographer since the age of ohhh about six when I got my first disc camera at a local thrift store in Hermiston, Oregon :). Just wanted to wish you a great day 🙂 Sincerely, Bobi Jo.
