Chas’ Crazy Little Letter: Simple Home Hacks & Lake Okoboji Memories!
Good morning and welcome to my kitchen table! Grab yourself a warm cup of coffee or a cold glass of iced tea and let’s catch up.
My heart is just overflowing with gratitude this week. I am currently spending some beautiful quality time at Lake Okoboji in Iowa with my parents, my husband, and several of my wonderful cousins! It has been so special to sit by the water, relax, and catch up on life. Next up, we are heading right back to Minnesota to celebrate my cousin’s daughter’s wedding! Getting to see the whole family gathered together twice in one month is an absolute gift, and I am soaking up every single moment.

Even though I am enjoying the lake life, I know how frustrating it can be to deal with nagging household chores when the weather is nice. So, before I left, I compiled a handful of my absolute best, budget-friendly shortcuts to tackle those tough spots around the house—like greasy kitchen cabinets and crowded countertops—so you can get back to enjoying your summer.
Simple Home Hacks for a Clutter-Free, Clean Space
I put together a brand-new video sharing my top clever household shortcuts. You will see exactly how to effortlessly dissolve hard-to-reach cabinet grease, and clear the clutter off your kitchen counters without spending a dime on fancy organizers!
