Welcome!

Well, here we go! Hi! I'm Kate. More commonly known as Bo and Elliott's mom these days. Bo is almost 4 and Elliott just turned 1 in June.  Last year, I left my teaching position of ten years to work from home on what feels like a MILLION different projects, but to also take a moment to take care of myself and my family.

While being at home, I've realized a lot of things that I think I've already known. First, being a mom is ROUGH STUFF (already knew). Second, there are lots of supports that you can put in place to make your life less hectic (kind of knew, but didn't do). Third, I want to share all of the tips and tricks that I've learned with the greater mom community to make everyone's life a little less hectic (here's my new realization). 

My goal, hope, passion, desire, whatever you want to call it ,is to create a community for moms to feel like they have ended each day with a winning spirit. That throughout the day, there was time for you- Mom, us- you and your partner, and them- those kiddos. When I started staying at home, it was only them. And let me tell you, it didn't go well. During the last year, I've read a lot, I've reflected a lot, I've leaned on a lot of people and learned a lot. I'm definitely not perfect, but through this community I hope to learn more from all of you and share some of the things that I have learned as being a teacher and a mom to make your life a little easier. Also, since I've only learned my most successful tips and tricks from the best moms out there, they'll be sharing their ideas with us too. 

As a thank you, here is a Morning and Bedtime Checklist. I've included our routine as well as a blank copy. Those two times of the day are our MOST difficult! I need all the help I can get. Here is what is working today. Tomorrow, who knows? All you need to do is print, fill out your routine, laminate or put in a page protector, and use! I am more than happy to edit our routine so it matches your morning and bedtime checklist- just leave your routine in the comments below. Actually, PLEASE leave your morning and bedtime routine tips below! We're here to share and learn from each other.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. You've got this.
