Welcome to my site! It’s taken some time for me to get here and decide that creating this online space is something I, as a working mom with two young children, want to spend my limited free time doing. I’m glad I did!

My focus is on sharing the home projects and systems I use to attempt to make our home and work lives fit together and run smoothly.

Thanks for stopping by!

  I’ve been asked recently if working part time has worked out. Am I working full-time hours but only getting paid for part-time work? Thankfully, I can honestly report no. I work 30 hours a week and am compensated for 30 hours of work a week. I feel lucky being in this situation given the nature… Read more: Keeping Boundaries Around My Part-Time Work Schedule
• Friday Fav: GeocachingApril 9, 2021
