Palisades Fire Debris Removal Finished Months Early Palisades Fire debris cleanup reaches major milestone ahead of schedule These are just a few of the current headlines surrounding this year's devastating fires that ravaged the Palisades and Malibu — and threatened the mountains near my home. Were you like me... Endlessly watching KTLA and refreshing Watch Duty Fire app while you held back tears feeling completely helpless? I was actually in Houston, TX at the time — spending time with my parents and helping my mom declutter and organize her closet. (Of course I was, right? Lol.). Meanwhile, Jon evacuated. He packed our SUV with mostly my things + Tango (the most amazing cat, ever). Wanna know what else he packed? A glass shark that he bought in Malibu. That pretty much sums up the difference between my husband and me. I'm the sentimental one. He's logical — with just a few carefully chosen emotions. 🤣 He found all of my most important items . . . but the truth is, I couldn't even remember what I had because I was too busy freaking out from afar. I knew then: Next time, I want to be prepared. ➡️ I want to have the insurance video already taken. ➡️ I want my printed photos digitized. ➡️ I want my paper memorabilia scanned and backed up. September is right around the corner. Who knew it's Emergency Preparedness Month?!?! A national initiative to encourage all of us to take proactive steps to prepare for emergencies and disasters — and honestly, it couldn't come at a better time. The first priority: Make a family emergency plan and build an emergency supply kit. Since, we've been talking this month about how to ACQUIRE the right tools and bins to organize your space... Now's the perfect time to ACQUIRE the emergency supplies you need too.. ➡️ Check out my Amazon Emergency Preparedness Shopping List to get your emergency supply kit put together quickly so you can get back to pumpkin spice latte and football.
Here's the truth: Having an emergency kit and plan in place will absolutely help you during a disaster. But what about after? What I learned from the Palisades Fire is that people affected by disaster are almost immediately inundated with paperwork. That's why I love what a group of people from San Diego who lost their homes in a fire created: A Home Loss File System — a portable file organizer with labeled tabs to help you organize and store all the forms, receipts, contracts, applications, and documents... All in ONE place. Now is a great time to ACQUIRE what you need to make your own Home Loss File System: ✔️Step 1: Download the instructions for creating your own Home Loss File System. ✔️Step Two, ACQUIRE what you need from my Amazon Home Loss File System Supply List.

Don’t forget your soul this holiday season. I have a 9-month-old at home, a husband recovering from major back surgery, a business to run, a book to market, and 2026 to plan so I don’t get left in the dust by AI. Today it hit me.Like a freight train.Overwhelming tiredness. This time, I actually took a nap when my little sweet pea did. Every year I plan to slow down during this season because it’s my absolute favorite. But then Black Friday deals happen… and that gets my head spinning about my...
Early Black Friday Sales! Who doesn't love a good sale! This time of year, I do pay attention to businesses and products that actually offer a good deal for Black Friday.

I've done a little digging for you... and here are some really good Early Black Friday Deals*! (*for anything related to Amazon or Dubsado,...
Hi beautiful friend, I'm still on a high after my new book reached the #1 slot on 11-12-25 on Amazon in the Christian Self-help category!!! It was so unexpected and thrilling! Thank you all for your love and support. I also recorded a podcast too (coming out next year) and have several in the cue. Good stuff is happening! But what you really want to know, though, is how to better organize and get ready for the holidays. Every year around this time, I see the same thing happen inside my own...
