I'm Justine.
I'm an expert organizer, a self-proclaimed routine queen, and recovering type-A perfectionist.
I'm a mom, a former high school Spanish teacher, and a registered yoga instructor. Oh yeah, I'm also a blogger and an author!
While being a mom is the most important job to me, we, as moms, can be MANY things. And often, in the craziness of the day-to-day, we lose sight of all those other things. The things that make us us.
My hope is for you to use this blog to make your life better in some way—whether it's answering your questions about pregnancy and birth with real answers, getting your kids into a routine that best fits your family, or dishing about the latest book (or tv series or movie) for when you just need a BREAK from it all. I got you.
I'm your newest go-to mom friend who will help you to navigate this crazy, beautiful, (often) chaotic life.
They say it takes a village. We're in this together and I'm so happy you're here.
Get to Know Me:
- I started dating my (only) boyfriend when I was 17. We are now married and have two beautiful, healthy children. You can read our story here.
- I rarely drink (no judgment, just not for me!) and sometimes find it hard to fit in in social situations because of it.
- Some days I count the minutes until my kids' bedtime, but once they're asleep, I use all of my free time to scroll through my phone to look at their pictures and videos.
- I am an introvert. Sometimes I miss the quiet. I miss being in my house by myself. Or ya know, peeing without my kids bursting in.
- TRUTH... I left my teaching job because I wanted to be home with my kids. Not an easy decision at all, but it's one I don't regret. At least not yet...LOL
