  • 149: Where Do I Store Bulk Items? (Replay! New episodes coming 6/10!)
    Jun 3 2025

    If you're one of those moms who loves the savings of bulk buying but feels like your kitchen has turned into a storage unit, you're definitely not alone.

    Maybe you're shoving toilet paper behind the couch, stacking cereal boxes on top of your fridge, or—let's be honest—just leaving everything on the counter because you literally have nowhere else to put it.

    What if we told you there's a better way? What if you could keep buying those money-saving bulk items AND have a kitchen that actually feels calm and functional?

    What You'll Learn:

    • The #1 place to start when you have zero pantry space (hint: it's not buying more bins!)
    • Creative "backstock" locations you never thought of—including one that might be right under your nose (or bed!)
    • The container game-changer that keeps your bulk buys organized AND pest-free
    • When to say "no" to bulk buying (even when it saves money) and why your sanity matters more

    Bottom Line: You CAN have your bulk buys AND a peaceful kitchen—Diana shows you exactly how, step by step, with real solutions that work in real homes.

    May 13 2025

    Are you constantly caught between the guilt of too much screen time and the need to stay connected?

    Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling when you meant to just check one message? You're not alone.

    In this refreshing episode, Diana Rene opens up about her personal struggle with digital overload—a challenge she faced both as a working professional and later as a stay-at-home mom seeking connection during isolating days with little ones.
