TL;DR: 2026 is my Capricorn era and I’m finally letting my secret Type A personality take over.

For a long time, I stayed comfortable, avoided asking for more, and convinced myself that “winging it” was good enough. If you don’t try, you don’t fail, rough? 

But the truth is, I’ve always had a quiet Type A side — goal-oriented, organized and capable. I just didn’t fully trust it.

Enough of that. This year I want clear goals and a life designed with purpose.

So this year, I’m entering my Capricorn era.
-That means setting goals and following through.
-Creating routines that actually work for real life.
-Building financial abundance without guilt.
-Designing a calm home that supports creativity and family connection.

This isn’t about perfection or productivity culture. It’s about alignment, clarity, and becoming the version of myself I’ve been circling for years.

If you’re craving ambition without apology, are ready to build empowering habits, or want a fresh start that actually sticks, this is for you.

Follow along as I design a life fantastic—one step at a time.

How do you save and store holiday cards from years past? I started this a few years ago and wish I’d started sooner!  Hi, I’m Robin 👋  I encourage busy moms to live simply, declutter with intention, shop mindfully, and find joy in everyday adventures. If you believe in buying less, buying better, and prioritizing experiences over stuff, let’s be friends.

Instead of throwing out the holiday cards you received, punch a hole in the top corner and group them together with a ring clip. This is an easy way to preserve memories, look back and see how kids have grown, families changed, and keep loved ones part of the holidays. I store our cards with the Christmas decorations and pull them out every year. The kids love looking through them. What’s your favorite way to save holiday cards? Let me know if you try this!
