Sasha's Cutting Board

Earlier this week I had surgery to remove ovarian cysts. I had been debating the procedure for a year and ended up getting a second opinion from a Dr I felt more comfortable with. He was able to keep both ovaries which was a pleasant surprise, one that was definitely not expected. He also loosened a bowel adhesion (probably caused by my diverticulitis).

Recovery is going well and I credit most of that to planning ahead.

⭐Wonderful medical team.⭐
✅Cleaned the house.
✅Fresh bed sheets and a clean comforter.
✅Planned meals for the week (as usual).
✅Prepped meals for the week (as usual).
✅Prepped smoothies (as usual).
✅Tray of recovery activities..books, coloring books, word finds, stocked up on puzzles.
✅Bought comfy rompers to wear during recovery so nothing was around my abdomen.
✅Prepped meds for two weeks.
✅ Planned ahead with work and deligated tasks so I could take off of work for 2-3 weeks and not worry about anything.
✅Talking with Mr. Cutting Board about what recovery might look like.
✅Pretty toes, because who doesn’t need a pop of spring color.

📱Happy Digital Spring Cleaning Day 6!

Today we are going through our piles of phone, tablet, and computer cords. Throw away, put in a donate pile, giveaway and label. I’ll be tackling the bin in the basement. Why do we keep every darn cord? 🤦🏻‍♀️

📱Happy Digital Spring Cleaning, Day 5!

Today we are cleaning up those apps! Delete apps you never use, place apps in folders to save space on the screen and download apps you have been meaning to get.

I just removed 9 apps and placed 3 in folders. Still more work to do but it feels so good to clean up my screen.

📱Happy Day 4 of our Digital Spring Cleaning challenge!

✅Let’s clean up our social media feed. Unfollow and unlike any people or organizations that bring you negative energy when you see their posts come through your feed. It’s finally time to say peace out to those pages that drive you nuts or you never really get anything out of. Your feed should bring you joy, education and good vibes.

📱Happy Digital Spring Cleaning Challenge, Day Three!

Today we are going through our contacts list. Time to edit (we probably have people entered numerous times), delete contacts we no longer use and even add a few new ones if needed. I feel like this is something most of us know we should do, just haven’t set aside the time.

Set the clock for 15 minutes and go!

📱Happy Digital Spring Cleaning Challenge, Day Two! Today we are going through photos on our devices.

🌠We are going to delete, share, save in a folder, print and then double delete from devices. Not only will we be able to find photos and videos easier, I bet we’ll free up space on our devices too.

📱I’ll be attacking my phone. Managing social media pages for local businesses and a downtown, I take soooo many pictures and videos. Just poured a cup of coffee and set the timer for 15 minutes. Time to get deleting!

📣Let’s do this!

Digital Spring Cleaning Challenge Day One!

Today we are physically cleaning our devices and cases. Whether you clean your phone, computer or tablet…let’s get started.

When was the last time you actually cleaned your device? So many germs! Take the cases off, wash with soap and water or cleaning wipes. Replace a screen protector if needed or buy/order a new one if that’s been on the to-do list. Gently wipe down your device with a cleaning wipe and dry it. Voila! Doesn’t it feel good? Now block off 10 minutes to do it again next month. Having it in your calendar will help ensure you remember and follow through.

I just did my phone and am doing my tablet and laptop next. Don’t forget your work devices!

Happy spring everyone! 🌷

Spring is the time for plans and projects- Leo Tolstoy

📱Welcome to our 4th annual Digital Spring Cleaning Project! Each day next week, we will tackle a different aspect of cleaning our digital world. For this challenge- choose to “clean up” a phone, computer, tablet or all three if there’s time.

💻Each morning I’ll post what area to focus on for that day and I’ll be sharing more in stories as well. But for all you planners and Type A’s, below is a brief outline for each day. I encourage you to block off 15 minutes a day on your calendar for this action project. Having the time set aside helps to ensure the follow through.

Monday: Clean the case and device.

Tuesday: Clean up all your photos.

Wednesday: Go through contacts to delete and update.

Thursday: Clean social media feed.

Friday: Clean up apps.

Saturday: Take what is needed and catch up on any days missed.

Sunday: If time, grab a different device and get digital cleaning.

Happy spring everyone!

Great reminders

Being present can make so much become clear to us. It isn’t easy to be present, and these ideas will give you lots of different opportunities to be in the here and now and enjoy those everyday moments, even if it’s for a few minutes or even seconds.

There are ideas to go out and be in nature. There are simple things you can do from home. There are self-care ideas, opportunities to reflect, and lots more ideas to try.

Even if it’s for a few minutes in a day, a little time being present and in the moment can be really helpful.

Cheers to National Backyard Day!

📓Tonight I’ll be sitting with my garden notebook to plan for summer 2026 in the yard. Making lists of plants to purchase, seeds to start, how many bags of soil and mulch, plants that need to be divided and reflecting on the joy and calm my yard brings me.

🌷Nature and fresh air are so relaxing, healing and can help manage stress. Bring on backyard season!

🌳What are your backyard plans for this spring?

My Nana’s name was Iris so I had to put my own spin on this trend. I LOVED the 90’s.
