I’m Michaela! The mom and woman behind this blog. A little bit about me; I’ve been married to my best friend for nearly 12 years and have had 6 amazing kids; 3 girls and 3 boys ages 14 down to 6 months old. We live in the beautiful state of Colorado and have been a homeschooling family since 2020. COVID hit and we needed to protect our immune-compromised son from excess germs. We loved being together full-time so much that we decided to continue homeschooling. The freedom that came with homeschooling was a bigger blessing than I could have expected. We created our own schedule, chose our own curriculum, and spent time together as a family.

Mom, Teacher, Cook, and Housekeeper- These are just some of my roles in our family. My whole life is about caring for my family, and I love it, but I also want more for myself. We are probably in the busiest season of our lives, but making time for myself as a mom is crucial. We make time for all the things our kids need, but we should also make time for the things we enjoy doing, too. Finding balance as mothers is crucial, and I hope that my blog helps you reach that balance in your life.

I know that can be hard to do when we are so busy, but it’s important to try. Having a place to express myself and share things that I am proud of is what encouraged me to start this blog. Writing has always been therapeutic to me, and if I could create a side hustle in the process, how cool would that be? What a dream! As moms, we are often expected to give so much of ourselves to care for tiny humans all day. It is a beautifully exhausting job with incredible rewards, but wanting more for myself is completely normal.

I plan to share a little bit of everything here! From updates about our family, money-saving tips, and more. I hope my blog encourages other moms to find time to do something that brings them joy. Whether that’s creating their own blog, working out more often, or learning a new skill, I hope you find something that fills your cup. You deserve it!

Thank you for being here. If I even encourage one mom on this new journey of mine, I’ll be so proud.
