There was a time I tried to do it all: perfect meals, a perfectly clean house, a perfectly timed schedule—everything perfect. I was exhausted. Constantly overwhelmed. And honestly, tired of the pressure. Something had to change. So I started letting go—of perfection, of expectations, of mom guilt and of the things that didn’t actually serve […]

We were already doing that.We just do it differently—and that’s okay. Letting our kids run barefoot in the grass (I gave up on shoes a while ago), build forts, help in the kitchen—even if it means a mess—dig in the dirt and sing like no one’s watching. We are letting them be kids—free to play, […]

Let’s be honest—mornings can feel like a full-on sprint the second your feet hit the floor. And if you’re a mom, that sprint includes packing lunches, hunting for lost shoes, calming the chaos, and maybe sipping some lukewarm coffee (or reheating it five times). It doesn’t matter if you’re a working mom, homeschool mom, or […]

You Were Never Meant to Do It All: Creating Space for What Matters Most When I became a mom, I felt a heavy pressure that so many of us carry — the pressure to do it all, be it all, manage it all — and make it look easy. I used to believe that if […]

If I’m being honest, Tuesdays are my least favorite day of the week. They’re the hardest day we have—and I’m not even sure why. I never got to experience the “terrible twos” that so many other moms talk about. But now? I feel like I’m living in a different kind of terrible two—Terrible Tues. For […]

Spring is all about resetting—both our home and our schedule. It really is a time for a fresh start. The flowers begin to bloom, the sun stays out a little longer and maybe, just maybe, we crack open the windows when the pollen isn’t bad. Now the clutter I’ve been ignoring since the beginning of […]

Every day we plant seeds with our kids, sometimes they land on good soil and other days it feels like planting seeds in dry, cracked ground—no fruit in sight, no visible change, just more reminders of how far we have to go. Lately I’ve been repeating myself more times that I can point, because the […]

You know those seasons—well, maybe more often than not—when motherhood feels like it’s just go, go, go? We juggle kids, meals, work, laundry, appointments, errands… and sometimes we forget that we’re not meant to run on empty. Sound familiar? Lately, our Sundays have felt like just another extension of the week—packed full and anything but […]

When Homeschooling Feels Too Hard: Finding Strength in the Struggle The past couple of months have been rough. If I’m being honest, we’ve only had a handful of good homeschool days—and the bad days have definitely outweighed the good. It’s been emotionally draining and has made me question if homeschooling is still the right decision […]

I’m gonna tell you a secret… Something I learned and that I want to share with you.  The key to a less chaotic morning happens the night before.  When my kids first moved in, I wanted to do it all—make them the best breakfasts, pack the best lunches and handle everything myself. But after their […]

Stop making your mornings chaotic and a race against the clock. There’s a lot to do with the family, getting everyone up, fed, dressed and out the door, so it’s easy for chaos to take over. Did you know that you don’t have to start your day in a rush? A simplified morning routine can […]

The start of a new year often brings excitement for fresh starts and new goals. But let’s be honest—how many times have we set big New Year’s resolutions, only to feel defeated a few weeks later? Whether it’s vowing to lose 20 pounds or trying to organize your entire house in one weekend, resolutions often […]
