Hi! Hola! You’ve made it to the side of instagram where we love to declutter, simplify, and live more intentionally.

For years after becoming a first time mom I felt overwhelmed, but didn’t do anything about it. I had no clue what I was doing. I was just doing what I was told.

After my second one I knew that wasn’t working and I knew I had to TAKE ACTION, and so I did 🤍

Now, for the last couple of years I’ve been sharing my ways of simplifying, decluttering, and living more simple and have more contentment.

If you’re new around here, follow along + buckle up because we’re in this crazy, amazing journey together

I GOT YOU! ✨🤍

And whether you’re new or been here for a while, I want to know something about you. Share with us in the comments and let’s find a community

I’m a believer that we were NEVER meant to do this motherhood thing alone

... Read moreNavigating motherhood in your 30s can be overwhelming, especially when you feel unprepared to manage your home and lifestyle. Many moms find themselves grappling with the challenges of simplifying their lives while balancing the demands of family. This journey towards decluttering and intentional living is not just about physical space; it’s about creating a mindset that prioritizes well-being and contentment. To start, focus on small areas of your home that can be easily refined. Begin with a single drawer, closet, or shelf—this approach can lead to a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to tackle larger projects. Adopt the principle of ‘less is more’ by removing items that no longer bring joy or serve a purpose, allowing for a more functional and serene environment. Joining a community of like-minded moms can provide support and encouragement during your decluttering journey. Whether through social media channels, local parenting groups, or online forums, sharing experiences and tips can foster lasting friendships and a sense of belonging. Remember, you are not alone in this, and together you can overcome the overwhelming aspects of motherhood. Embrace slow living by intentionally planning your days. Allocate time for family, self-care, and decluttering tasks. Practicing mindfulness can also significantly reduce stress and improve overall happiness. Incorporating simple routines can create a balanced life, enabling you to enjoy the little moments while handling motherhood’s chaos. In doing so, you’ll discover that simplifying and decluttering isn’t just about organizing your home; it’s about nurturing a fulfilling lifestyle that benefits your entire family.

Would you be mad if he bought the wrong ring size?
When my husband proposed, I remember looking down at the ring and thinking, “Oh wow… that’s definitely not my size.” It was a size 7, and I’m a 4.5, so it practically hung around my finger. At first, I honestly thought it was just a silly, cute mistake…like one of those things you laugh about later
