The Pressure to Keep Going I used to believe that resting meant I was lazy. That slowing down or saying no meant I was letting my family down. The world tells us we should be able to juggle it all — spotless houses, home-cooked meals, thriving kids and a perfectly planned week. So even when […]

When I look back over the past five years, I still can’t quite believe how much my life has changed. In 2019, I was preparing to open the bakery and coffee shop I had dreamed of for years. I had poured my heart into that vision — until God gently whispered something different. It was […]

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 […]

There are days when I lay my head on the pillow and wonder if I did anything right? Why was the day so hard?  The homeschool room was left a mess, the kids room looks like a disaster and someone cried during math, I lost my patience (again), and the laundry I meant to fold […]

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 […]

We all go through seasons where it feels like one hard day follows another, and we wonder when things will shift. Even the moms who seem to have it all together have their moments. Whether it’s homeschooling chaos, parenting stress, business overwhelm, or just a rough week filled with deadlines, it’s easy to carry that […]

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 […]

Being a mom isn’t always easy, some days it can be easy and other days it can be really hard. Add in running a business and it can be so overwhelming and feel even harder to find balance. Between managing household responsibilities, taking care of your family and growing a business, it’s easy to be […]

When I first started meal planning, it was so overwhelming. The first few weeks, I was ready to quit, but I truly believed meal planning could help us so much. So, I kept trying different things until I finally figured out what worked and what didn’t. I learned that with the right strategies, meal planning […]
