Hi! I’m Renee—a full-time working mom, wife, and firm believer in finding balance in the hustle of everyday life. I love online shopping and cherish spending quality time with my family, whether we’re watching sports together, playing board games, or having a competitive game of Mario Kart.

When it comes to my personal space, cleaning and organization are my Zen (yes, it might sound crazy, but it works for me!). I also have a love for home decor, though I tend to get easily bored with the same look, so my home is always evolving—which drives my family a little nuts!

Between managing a career, raising a family, and taking care of a home, I’ve always been drawn to sharing my experiences and ideas with those around me. I’ve done it for years with friends and family, so why not open that door to a larger community? That’s how this blog was born.

Starting a blog was honestly a bit intimidating. The thought of figuring out all the logistics, plus managing it on top of everything else in my busy life, was overwhelming at first. But here I am—doing it, one step at a time.

After recently having my third child, I felt the need to do something just for me. The pandemic was tough, but it also gave me the chance to redefine what work-life balance truly means. I found myself in a place where I could take a late evening meeting, make dinner for my family, and still get my kids to their sporting events—all without feeling stressed or rushed. For the first time, I could really enjoy the moments with my family—whether it was chatting with my kids before school or having a relaxed dinner.

The age gap between my two oldest and youngest (about 10 years) has given me a unique perspective on parenting. I've had the time to reflect, grow, and truly appreciate the small, beautiful moments that I didn’t always have time to notice before. It’s helped me realize how important it is to nurture myself and make space for things that bring me joy, like writing and connecting with other women on similar journeys.

This blog is my outlet to do something meaningful for myself, while also sharing the lessons, ideas, and experiences that I hope can inspire or help others. It’s not something I feel like I have to do—it’s something I want to do. My hope is that by opening up about my journey, I can create a space where other moms and women feel seen, heard, and connected. Whether you’re looking for parenting tips, home ideas, or just a bit of motivation to help you balance it all, I hope you find something here that resonates with you.

This journey has been all about growth—not just for me, but for my family too. I’m excited to share it with you, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride. Let’s do more than just live—we can excel at living together.
