Holding a lot and holding gratitude at the same time 🤍
Both can be true.

Lately that looks like simple wins, a water paint mat that keeps little hands busy and cleanup easy.
Full hands. Full heart.

Saving graces of a mother… 🧺🤍

Little systems that keep me sane on the loud days:
• Wicker laundry baskets per family member for easy sorting while folding that don’t scream laundry 🧺
• A hair clip that survives mom life
• The alphabet song slowed down so kids can actually learn it
• A tub nearby = instant reset with water + toys

Nothing fancy. Just things that quietly make the day smoother.

At some point you stop proving.
Stop explaining.
Stop competing.

Not because you gave up
but because you built a life that feels peaceful enough to protect.

I’m not measuring myself against anyone anymore.
I’m measuring everything against how regulated my days feel…
and whether my kids and I can breathe wider into the life we’re building.

Peace is the standard now.
Everything else has to meet it.

Not a mess.
Proof of love. Proof of play. Proof you’re doing it right 🤍

If you’re shopping Valentine gifts that don’t end up in a drawer,
I linked the sensory table, the Melissa & Doug ice cream set, a warmie to snuggle,
and the Stanley Valentine mugs we use daily.

🎀 Simple, sweet, and actually loved.

#valentines #mom #motherhood #kids #parenting

Nothing about my path was linear.
Life interrupted. Priorities shifted.

I rebuild anyway.

Not louder.
Not rushed.
Just steadier.

Here’s your reminder: setbacks don’t disqualify you, they refine you. ✨

Oh and cheers to my office update! Proof that new paint 🎨 and a new light fixture can change a girls world 🌍!

It may not be Silicon Valley, but it’s my little piece of it, in the heart of my home. 🏡

❄️🎿 Four girls. One hill. Let’s ride. 🎿❄️

If you’re new here, welcome 🤍

We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where snow is plentiful, winter lasts forever, and outdoor adventures are just… the vibe.

I’m a single mama to two girls:
✨ Bril (8)
✨ Brave (2)

And fun family lore: my family knows nothing but girls.
My mom is one of seven 7️⃣ sisters (sorry Grandpa, no boys 😅), she had two 2️⃣ girls (both born on Mother’s Day, oddly enough), and now my sister @floatingonabreezy and I each have two 2️⃣ girls too. Generations of strong, wild-hearted women 💪✨

Today we’re heading downhill skiing with her girls and mine!
⛷️ Bril (8)
⛷️ Anya (5)
⛷️ Sophie (3)
⛷️ Brave (2)

👉 4 little girls. 1 hill. ✨

Follow along for snowy ❄️ chaos, core memories, and how I keep it somewhat sane but fully untamed 🤍 🤘

🔗 Tips, gear, and my mama survival shortcuts are always in the link in bio.

This reusable wall calendar is how I plan my year without feeling overwhelmed.

I don’t use it to cram more in — I use it to see my whole year clearly, anchor what matters, and let the rest take its rightful place.

It wipes clean, flexes month-to-month, and supports real life (not perfect life).

Single moms don’t audition for love.
They build lives that feel good and invite the right people in.

She’s not asking for perfection.
She’s asking for emotional safety.

After relationships that trained you to survive instead of settle, calm can feel unfamiliar, until your nervous system learns otherwise.

I’ve shared the books that helped me understand narcissistic patterns, emotional safety, and how to stop repeating what looks like love but feels destabilizing.

I hope this helps you find your emergency contact energy kind of love.

This is my go-to! Comes with all 3 sizes plus this tote is my favorite because it can expand with a zipper below in case you come home with more than you left with! (Happens a lot!) Haha!

The wheels roll in all directions and is smooth to push or pull! Handle locks at multiple levels so even shorter or younger kids can pull it at different heights. Hard shell so easy to wipe down and nothing gets crushed!

Pizza night, made easy 🍕🔥like easy bake oven easy!

We finally added a pizza oven to our home setup and we are officially obsessed. Crispy crust, melty cheese, and the kids love making their own creations (way more fun than delivery). It heats fast, cooks evenly, and makes at-home nights feel like a restaurant experience without the price tag. If you love easy entertaining, family dinners, or summer hosting, this is 100% worth it.

My car always has a bag of these in it and the scents are amazing and it’s goat milk based! The big pack is in a basket between car seats and a thin pack is within reach while driving!

We never leave for a plane trip without a slim pack in the carry-on for sticky fingers!

Even my baby’s baby loves them 🤣!

Plus they aren’t “baby” wipes so good for the big kids too!

Climbing into the New Year with my daughter and a whole lot of gratitude 🤍🧗‍♀️

As a mom, safety is always my non-negotiable, especially when little bodies are learning big skills and when risk is higher. That’s why I love this 5-point harness. If a kiddo flips or inverts mid-climb (which can happen 😅), they’re fully secured and can’t slip out. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re supported from every angle.

We always pair it with a helmet to protect those growing brains, and comfortable climbing shoes that give them confidence, grip, and stability without limiting movement.

These are the pieces we trust for mama-daughter climbing dates & gear that lets them explore, challenge themselves, and have fun… while I breathe a little easier 💙

I learned this the hard way. 😬

Once, in Mexico, overhead storage filled up, my stroller wouldn’t fit, and I missed our flight. 🛑 Ever since then, I’ve traveled differently. ✈️

If you’re flying with kids, here’s what actually matters:
✈️ Knowing what documents your kids do (and don’t) need
🛂 Passport + Global Entry prep before you travel
👩‍👧‍👧 Having custody paperwork ready if you’re a single parent
🧳 And using a travel stroller that won’t cost you a flight

I switched to a carry-on sized stroller that reclines, has a real shade, and folds small enough to fit under the seat 💺 no gate check, no pink tag, no stress. It’s saved us more times than I can count. 👏

I just shared a full blog post breaking all of this down, including a moment I almost got stuck in Amsterdam traveling solo with my daughter 😅

☕ Espresso, dreams, jet lag naps, and all.

We never travel without tape + crayons ✂️🖍️

Sounds simple, but it’s our secret to making any hotel feel like home.

A few sheets of paper + kids’ artwork taped up = instant cozy walls, familiar vibes, and happy little creators.

It takes zero space in your bag, sets up in minutes, and keeps kids occupied at every stop, hotel rooms, Airbnbs, trains and planes.

No mess. No stress. Just creative calm while we unpack, rest, or reset after travel days. I love setting them in a cup and making them available for any lulls in the day!

These are the exact travel-friendly art supplies we bring everywhere, all linked on LTK ✨

These are my favorite sandals — I found them while pregnant and they’ve stayed on repeat ever since. Easy on/off Velcro (that looks like a buckle without the effort 🙌), comfy enough for all-day wear, and still polished for dinner. Paired with my go-to lipstick for a soft, effortless glow.

One of our favorite indoor movement staples! 🤍

As an OT and Mom, 100% approved!

This Avenlur climbing structure has been such a win for gross motor play climbing, crawling, balancing, sliding, and building confidence all in one space. I love how it’s wooden, sturdy, and open-ended, so it grows with them instead of being a one-stage toy.

Perfect for getting energy out indoors, supporting coordination and strength, and letting kids take safe risks on their own terms. Movement that feels like play is always a yes in our house ✨

I love how my iPad Pro travels like a dream, especially with the magnetic keyboard that snaps on so it works like a laptop, but lighter and easier. Toss it in a bag, no cords, no fuss.

And the Apple Pencil? A game-changer. I use it nonstop for handwritten lists, planning, and notes… and my daughter completes her written homework digitally right on it 📝💛 Less paper, less clutter, and everything saved in one place.

Work, travel, school, this setup just works.

Everyday magic, simplified. ✨💻✈️

Finding a beachy, rattan-inspired vanity light was harder than expected, especially one that didn’t require mudding and patching drywall underneath 🙃

This fixture was the win. It comes in 3–5 light options and the backplate is large enough to cover a multitude of sins (aka old holes, paint lines, and past decisions 😂).

It gives that warm, boho, coastal feel without looking unfinished.

+ And the mirror adds a driftwood-inspired beach touch while still feeling polished and intentional.

Total win! We decided to skip the one-time-wear Christmas jammies this year and invest in a wool base layer instead.

The best part? Choosing a print that isn’t holiday-specific means they can wear these all year long as pajamas and as a base layer for cold days.

Warm, breathable, and actually gets used beyond December. One of those purchases that just makes sense.

After months of searching for the right fan + chandelier combo, I finally found a fandelier and it was exactly what this room needed.

I am working on updating the master bedroom and lighting was the hardest part. I wanted a beachy, coastal lake vibe with charm and ambiance… but I wasn’t giving up a fan for summer nights.

This gives you both: soft chandelier lighting and a breeze when you want it.

Such a good solution for lake houses and bedrooms.

These Mini Boden snowsuits have been on repeat all winter through all the winter fun!

Super warm without being bulky, easy to move in, and has matching trapper hats made mittens that have all held up perfectly for snowy adventures together.

These snowsuits are worth the investment for cold weather play. No such thing as bad weather, just bad gear, so get the good stuff!

I WISH I had this with my first daughter, who was a C-section baby.

As a petite mama, lifting a heavy car seat post-birth isn’t realistic, but staying home forever isn’t either. This made getting out feel SUPER manageable.

One button drops the wheels down and turns the car seat into a stroller! No lifting, no popping the trunk, no transferring baby, no bulky setup.

Perfect for 0–1, especially for petite moms, and it is plane-approved when baby has their own seat.

This is the ONLY travel stroller we cannot live without on any trip. Umbrella stroller on steroids that folds down into the size of a shopping bag!

Lightweight, folds up small in seconds and fits underneath airplane seat, and makes getting through the airport, security and off to the gate so much easier.

Perfect when you want something compact with all the perks of a stroller and to keep in the trunk!
