Welcome! My name is Janice and I embrace real, imperfect motherhood. If you’re on the same train as I’m on, WELCOME!

I share life hacks (born out of my laziness determination to simplify parenting and adulting), parenting wins and fails (because the truth is we all experience both), good deals (does anyone else get a rush when they score a good deal?), and fun reads (this is the part that usually gets me most excited).

In case you’re interested in how I got here…

See Janice. Janice meets Jacob. They marry.

Such a romantic story right?

The happy couple have a kid (repeat 4x). They add in a couple of college degrees, new jobs, and a few moves. Now you are caught up on my life story.

Simple and Fun

We are currently living in Utah and dreading our first winter here. Give me all your best tips for surviving winter with snow, please! As a family, we are trying to focus on family fun. For us, that means simplifying the less important stuff (household chores, excessive amounts of extracurricular activities, etc.) and being more intentional about the time we spend together.

Let’s be friends!

So that’s me in a nutshell! I hope you will join me and that I can be a resource to you for life hacks, yummy recipes, good deals, and exciting reads. I truly love getting to know you and learning from you as well.
