5 Ways To Simplify Your Life

This post brought to you by Scott Tube-Free. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Simply Clarke.

5 Ways To Simplify Your LifeIn honor of National Simplify Your Life Week, August 2nd – 8th, today I am writing about 5 Ways To Simplify Your Life.

 

1. Have A Routine

Routines are a great way to simplify your life. By having the same routine in the mornings and at night, it can help give your family a stable base for the rest of the day. For example, I wake up at the same time every morning, get ready and then wake Brooke up to eat and get her ready. After that, I take her to daycare and then go to work. At night, I give her a bath after her 6:30 feeding, then she goes to bed after her 9:30 feeding. By doing the same thing almost every day, it makes things go easier.

2. Eliminate Stress

In our busy world, it is easy to have different “events” every night of the week. Prioritize things and clean out your schedule. Eliminate things that bring unnecessary stress to your week. I know that some weeks being busy is inevitable, but I like to make sure we don’t pack too many things into our week. I have noticed that the weeks we are so busy, Brooke seems to be fussier and overly tired like us. By prioritizing, it keeps us not as tired and in a better mood.

 

3. Put away technology

I said it. Technology takes up so much of our time and life. Put away your phones and turn off your tv’s and enjoy a night as a family or even just dinner at the dinner table. Taking out the distractions will give you a chance to really talk and enjoy each other.

4. Use Scott Tube-Free Bath Tissue

Yep, I said it. Scott Tube-Free Bath Tissue is a simple new idea that will have a great impact on the environment, if households consciously switch to this quick and easy brand. It eliminates the toilet paper tube, thus helping diminish the 17 billion toilet paper rolls that are used annually. Scott Tube-Free works the exact same way as a regular toilet paper roll, but without the wasteful core! Every part of Scott Tube-Free is usable. Check out this Scott Man on the Street video where the product is demonstrated. You can buy Scott Tube-Free at your local Walmart like me or use this Local Retailer Locator to see where to find them. Also, make sure to use this Scott Coupon.

5. Declutter and Clean

Take the time to go through your closets and clean out your old things, donate them if possible or throw away. You don’t need that dress from 10 years ago or that set of golf clubs your husband never uses. Even have a garage sale if you would like with all your old things. Declutter, and then give your house a good clean!

  • Life with you is certainly never boring! ❤️

Through every hard season and every joy, you’ve been right by my side.

I’m so thankful for the man and husband you are. You encourage me, push me, lead me and always serve our family. 

You are an amazing example of Christ’s love to us and I’m incredibly proud to call you mine.

You’re my very best friend and doing life with you is so fun. You always bring the smiles and the laughter.

I love the life we’ve built and I can’t wait to experience the rest of this life with you. I love you so much, Happy 15th Anniversary @kevinclarke15!
  • The older I get, the more I realize wellness doesn’t have to mean a complicated routine. 🤍#BarleansPartner

I’m focusing on simple habits that actually fit into my everyday life — morning walks, staying hydrated, and adding @Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil into my routine.

I love that it’s a liquid format, tastes great, and feels like an easy swap instead of adding another pill to my day. ✨

You can find Barlean’s at Walmart!🛒

  • Back-to-school shopping for a junior high girl is about so much more than checking supplies off a list. ✏️🎒✨ #pOpshelfPartner

As moms, we know it’s about helping our kids feel prepared, confident, and excited for a new school year.

Brooke and I found so many cute, affordable back-to-school finds at @popshelf — from school supplies and organization must-haves to accessories and fun extras.

I love that we could find everything in one stop, and at prices that let her pick things that fit her personality without blowing the budget. 🤍 Those little details really do make the first day feel a little more exciting.

Visit your local #pOpshelf for affordable, stylish finds that help your kids feel ready for a fresh start! 📚✨

  • Save or splurge? 👀

I finally compared the viral Amazon shorts to my Vuori favorites... and here’s my take. 💕

The Amazon pair is a great budget-friendly option (just make sure to size up!), but when it comes to comfort, Vuori still takes the win for me.

If you’ve been debating between the two, this side-by-side comparison should make the decision a whole lot easier.

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links! 🎀 And tell me... are you team save or team splurge? 👇🏼
