Welcome! My Name is Katie, and I’m a Mom of four. I have a loving Husband and one super adorable dog. Our family enjoys a crazy life; that I love more than I could ever express, to anyone. We are a faith filled family who laughs, cries, loves and sometimes yell at one another.

I am undoubtedly not a super-Mom even though one day I strive to be. I depend on the support of my husband, a lot, and sometimes he is undoubtedly my sole motivation to get things accomplished. 

I will state right now that any content on this blog is not to show off or to say that my life is better, or more put together than anyone else. In actuality I may over share too frequently in some of my failures.  

Why begin this blog? In a way I need to find myself again. I am currently a full-time mom who feels like I genuinely have something to give. My expertise is predominantly in being a Mom. And I want to share ways with you that support other moms and parents to not merely survive the day to day parent-life, but to thrive while doing it.

Our loyal devotion, as parents, to our families can sometimes cause unwanted stress and anxiety. I know I am constantly planning and worrying about tomorrow. I’m constantly looking to discover possible ways to stay more in the present and hold on to each precious moment tightly. Therefore, I strive to thrive in the day to day struggles, the hardships, the tiredness, the homework, the lunches, the diet, the family disagreements, the diapers, the life that we have been given.

Some days I succeed  and some days I invariably fail at being that thriving parent. The obvious realization here is that we should all come to expect this. It’s not complacency but learning the ins and outs of our life. So let me share here on this platform, the great days and maybe a few of the bad.  

Expect to find a goofy, optimistic and practical page that will tentatively touch on a little bit of everything, because that is where we are in our lives. 

Reviews, articles, and fun!
