As the school year comes to a close, it's time to prepare for the summer chaos. Are you a working mom looking for some tips to make the transition smoother? I've got some strategies that work for me and my family that I'd love to share with you.
We recently moved, so finding a good work-life balance has been on my mind a lot. One concept that has really resonated with me is the idea of glass balls and plastic balls. Author Nora Roberts uses this metaphor to illustrate how we should prioritize our responsibilities. We can afford to drop the plastic balls, but it's crucial not to drop our glass balls!

As a photographer, the primary product that you offer is your photographs. However, sometimes, your photos alone may not be enough to tell the whole story. This is where the importance of copywriting comes in. The words that you use to describe your work, your business, and yourself can provide a comprehensive understanding of your brand and differentiate you from the competition.
In this episode we are joined by Sara Gillis, a talented copywriter, to dive deeper into why copywriting is so crucial for your business. A well-crafted copy can help you convey your brand's personality and values, tell your story effectively, and build a strong connection with your audience. It can also help you showcase your expertise, highlight your unique selling points, and persuade potential clients to choose you over your competitors.
Therefore, as a photographer, it is essential to invest in high-quality copywriting to complement your outstanding visual work and maximize your business's potential.
What we cover:
How do we create demand for our service, especially when you are at a higher price or you sell a “non necessity” product?
Where do we value putting our money and what that value means for everyone else?
Even if your photos are fantastic, they can still be pretty similar to other photos. Words, however, can communicate exactly what makes you different and special.
How we can use AI as a tool to help improve our writing and ideas
You shouldn’t compete with people as far a prices oges, but rather something you can control like the quality of your work

Today we welcome Kristen from Gracefully Nested to talk to us about decluttering! This conversation is packed with helpful tips so that your decluttering sessions can be efficient and long-lasting!
Tried and True Best Practices:
Decluttering is the most important thing when it comes to getting organized because you can't organize all the things until you get rid of the excess things.
It just takes baby steps.
Thinning your life is huge. It helps the day go more smoothly.
The truth about extra things, even if you think they aren't bothering you, is that they can trigger you by making you feel overwhelmed.
Decluttering doesn't just happen once. Kristen declutters her home about 6 times a year.
You don't need to save, as a mom, every drawing your kid ever presents you. Give yourself permission to let lots of it go.
Having a drop zone for your shoes and things that you need multiple times a day is huge.
Decluttering will save you time because you're not looking through the drawer of 10 spatulas for the one you actually like.
Try not to let your garage be the place where things go to die.
Don't let returns become clutter. Get your money back!
If your pantry is organized, you will save time and money by not buying groceries you already have.
The first step to decluttering: you need to take everything out and group it.
Measure the spaces where you're trying to organize so you can buy bins and shelves that actually fit in the space.
Label your bins and baskets.
When you have less stuff to clean, you'll have more time because you're cleaning less.
Never look at the whole room because you'll shut down and leave. Instead, take a basket and dump it out on the ground. Take out everything you don't need and get rid of those things. If you find something that belongs somewhere else, don't go and try to organize that problem area. Just put it in that room and make a plan to work on that room another day.
