A Penny For Your Ideas


Weigh in on programs, child tech, and our renovation! 

Tremendous large bubbles of concepts!

New Course Concepts

I’ve been toying with the concept of creating some new programs in subjects I’m enthusiastic about: well being and residential organizing. 

Enjoyable reality: once I dreamed up the Digital Litter Course, I had actually needed to do a house organizing one first. However it felt a bit too overwhelming and never area of interest sufficient on the time, so I made a decision to focus in on simply the digital subject.

Now that I’ve constructed and marketed one course with success, I really feel extra assured in doing it once more! 

I might like to gauge curiosity in these two subjects:

Prioritize Your Well being:

In the event you as soon as have been health-focused however life obtained in the way in which, this course will enable you to shift your psychological house on getting again to wholesome. Refresh your data on vitamin fundamentals, study strategies for intuitive and aware consuming, and prepare to prioritize your well being once more with like-minded girls. 

I’m imagining this course to have two tiers: a inexpensive self-guided content material that covers a breadth of subjects after which an add-on neighborhood / group teaching / live-taught facet inside Kajabi Communities.

I’d love to listen to your curiosity in every degree. 

Dwelling Neat Dwelling:

Declutter and manage your own home high to backside. Use strategies to go room by room and declutter, simplify, kind, and manage. After you may have organized, implement techniques to make your family run like a well-oiled machine. Actually this course may come later in 2023 or 2024. 

In case you are all in favour of one in every of these or each, and they’re one thing you’d pay for, please choose in right here.


Gizmo vs. Apple Watch vs. iPhone vs. Gabb 

I feel I’ve written earlier than that Mazen has a Gizmo Watch. It’s a Verizon product that’s about $79 to purchase and $9 a month for the cellphone line. The evaluations should not glowing total, nevertheless it has been an awesome starter look ahead to us. He’s had it for 3 years now. 

I actually like the flexibility to trace him through GPS and name or textual content him if wanted when he’s out within the neighborhood or staying to play Gaga after faculty. He’s additionally capable of name us when he’s at his dad’s home and vice versa. 

Mazen’s Gizmo is operating on its final leg, and I’m undecided we’d purchase one other one when this one bites the mud.

Communication and Monitoring are extra for me than for him

At age 10, Mazen has been wanting extra freedom to do issues with out mother and father: stroll to highschool, stroll to the downtown mall together with his pals, play across the neighborhood, and go for bike rides within the neighborhood. 

At this level, we really feel that having some form of GPS and textual content/name gadget is changing into vital not a lot for him however for us. It’s an enormous peace of thoughts for me. So I’ve been debating choices for attainable Christmas presents. 

Quite a lot of his pals have began getting telephones

Earlier than you roll your eyes that I’m going handy a ten yr previous a model new iPhone with social media – please know that not the plan! His pals who’ve telephones have older generations and plenty of parental controls, no social media, and many others. That may be our plan too. 

I had one other mother of Mazen’s good friend inform me that she seemed into pay as you go choices, flip telephones, and many others. however including her children to her Verizon plan and getting them previous iPhones was the very best stability of GPS and use-ability for her. 

I really feel {that a} watch could be the best for him to hold round, however a cellphone (in an Otterbox) would allow him to do fundamental photographs and Facetime when he isn’t at our home. I fear he would break it or overlook it at dwelling!

The Apple parental controls are incredible and we’re an all-Apple Home

We use the parental controls on Mazen’s iPad, and I’m able to monitor app exercise, set display screen closing dates, and switch off all apps at a sure time. He’s additionally unable to obtain new apps or make purchases with out approval from my account. So I’ve been leaning towards getting an iPhone.

I’ve been researching the brand new Apple Watch SE (it’s marketed nearly as good for teenagers) vs. an older iPhone vs. another choice like Gabb wi-fi. 

I might love to listen to from mother and father of preteens and teenagers when you have any recommendation! 


Renovation Replace!

This isn’t a lot a query however an replace on our dwelling renovation! (Learn this put up to get the context.)

We’ve been going forwards and backwards with our architect, Ruth Ellen Outlaw of Outlaw Design, for months. We FINALLY have selected a format for our first ground.

We thought we had one after which after we plugged these plans right into a 3D program we virtually began from scratch. 

The primary model of our plans additionally had a storage shed on the entrance of the home (the entrance left nook of the storage) however that has now been vetoed in favor of an even bigger pantry and a real mudroom nook.

A lot of the issues we retailer within the storage may be unfold out within the different storage areas of our home, together with a small gardening and power shed within the yard. 

The one puzzle piece I haven’t discovered but is the place to throw all of the cardboard bins that come within the mail!

Right here’s the most recent format for the primary ground: 

Right here’s the issue we’re making an attempt to unravel:

On a regular basis “mudroom” chaos!

3D of the brand new kitchen

Consider me, I can’t be utilizing these barstools, haha. And naturally it is a fundamental program so the kitchen won’t be grey with brown counters. Search for spacial design solely! 

And right here’s a screenshot of my Pinterest board. Suppose trendy farmhouse with muted coastal colours. We’re planning to begin March 1!! 

Ship me your finest renovation suggestions!
