50. Creating Memorable Seasons and Holidays with Ashley Murphy
01/23/23 • 36 min
I have always had a hard time keeping up with ever changing seasons and holidays. Decorating and making these times exciting for the kids is fun but I always lack inspiration and motivation to keep it up all year long while also keeping it simple and affordable. That is why I invited my real life friend Ashley on for this episode. Ashley Murphy of Ashley Murphy Family on Instagram covers all areas of celebrating family life. In this episode we talk all about celebrating holidays and seasons and making them enjoyable and memorable while also keeping costs low and simple.
Ashley is the mother of three kids, 5, 3 and 1 and a wife of 7 years to her husband. She is the founder of Ashley Murphy Family on IG.
While being home with the kids she started doing preschool activities with her daughter and documenting them, which became the start of “AshleyMurphyFamily” on Instagram! Over the years she has transformed the account to share all of the things that encompass her family’s life typically following along with the seasons and holidays. She shares themed crafts and activities, decor, books, and fun food as well as local places, fun family activities, and typical things they do around the house like homesteading and playing in general. This past year she started officially homeschooling her oldest child and shares a lot of that as well!

49. The Toy Rotation Strategy that Saves my Sanity
Are you drowning in toys and feel like you can't get out from under them?
I used to be so overwhelmed by the toy mess in our house that I was tempted to get rid of all of them and never buy another toy again.
They were all of the house, in every room, and it seems like no matter how many toys my kids had, they were always bored and never played with any of them.
I don't know how I originally started utilizing a toy rotation system but once I did it was a total game changer and sanity changer!
I know many people struggle with toy overload and I hope that this episode may help!

51. Homemade Cleaners - Monthly Homemade Swap Series February 2023
I want you to join me for something new I am doing this year! I am doing a Monthly Series where I focus on swapping something that would normally be store bought with a homemade version.
Each month I will have a specific focus so that I do not get overwhelmed and can master it in 30 days.
The month of February is focused on swapping all of our cleaners for homemade versions!
I talked about it briefly in a previous podcast episode but I really dive in deep in this week's episode.
My plan is to take the commercial, store bought cleaners that I use and start making my own versions.
Join me in this episode where I talk about the steps I am currently making and my goals in this area!
Follow me on Instagram to join in the journey! @simpleliving_madesimple
