Finding Calm in the Chaos

🍂 Teaching, parenting, and trying to keep a peaceful home isn’t easy but small habits make all the difference.

Here are 5 cozy rituals that help me stay grounded when life feels loud:

🕯 1. Morning light. I open the blinds before anyone wakes up. It’s my quiet hello to the day.

✏️ 2. Reset corners. I keep one tidy spot (like my kitchen counter) as a calm space, even if the rest is chaos.

🧺 3. End-of-day tidy. 10 minutes before bed — music on, quick reset.

💛 4. Journaling a “Maple Moment.” One good thing from the day, even small.

☕️ 5. Candle + coffee time before grading or lesson planning. It turns tasks into rituals.

Because balance isn’t about doing it all but about finding peace where you are. 🍁

Finding moments of calm in the chaos

As a busy mom, I don’t always get time to pause, but little things like sunsets and quiet views really help me reset. It’s nice to just step outside and breathe for a moment, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Trying to appreciate more of these simple, calm moments. Sometimes we’re just surviving

Moved to Colorado with my boyfriend and our dog. Now we spend our evenings playing frisbee at sunset and listening to Kacey Musgraves. Take the chance. It might turn out softer, slower, and sweeter than you expected. #ModernWellness #SlowLiving #DogMomDiaries #EveningRituals #colorado
