If you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by motherhood—juggling appointments, trying to homeschool, and holding everything together without help—this episode is for you. In this Summer Throwback, I’m sharing the simple, grace-filled system I created during a season of solo parenting and total exhaustion.

When my husband was deployed and I was managing therapies, special diets, and daily life with little ones, I didn’t need a fancy planner—I needed a lifeline. So I made a three-ring notebook with basic daily checklists, snack ideas, therapy notes, and even encouraging Scripture. It wasn’t perfect, but it became my sanity-saver.

You’ll also hear how this tool brought calm to our home and made space for connection, rest, and joy—things I never thought possible in that season. Whether you’re drowning in to-dos, managing special needs, or just craving a little more peace, this episode offers practical encouragement to help you simplify and breathe again.

📖 “The wise woman builds her house…” (Proverbs 14:1)
Let’s build homes of peace—even in imperfect seasons—with small tools that make a big difference.

With love and grace,
Katie
