Ditching day care, anxiety, leaps of faith, and so much more are all a part of this story. Tune in to find out how I went from a full-time elementary school teacher to owner of Kay the VA LLC.

If your kids whine, grab some wine and tune in. We're leaving room for moms to share the hard stuff, because we all have hard stuff. Two things can be true - motherhood can be joyful and have hard moments. Gratitude for your kids in every season is so important, but we have to leave a little room to "complain", too. The positive perspective I have on motherhood isn't negated when I have a moment of difficulty. You're doing a great job, mama; we're in this together!

Keeping it simple this week and sharing five things we are loving around here - both me and my daughter, that is - in this season. It's a mixed bag from products to habits.

Our very first guest episode and it's featuring none other than my husband and baby daddy, Jonathan. To know him is to love him...and also laugh at - I MEAN WITH - him. We're getting into the nitty gritty of fatherhood and how being a dad has changed his role as a husband. This is an episode I'm so proud of and I know we'll cherish years from now. I'm not crying, you're crying!

Love this episode? (We sure did!) Let me know by connecting on Instagram @kindmomsclubpod and/or @yourmomfriendkay and leaving a five-star rating on Apple Podcast and maybe a raving review about your new favorite mom friend!

I am a stay-at-home mom, but I also work from home as a VA. There's a lot going on around here. Like, A LOT. So here is my current cleaning routine, which I just started with full fidelity this month. This is a new and different system for me that is helping me keep all of my tasks straight, make sure things are getting cycled through to keep things tidy around here, while also being realistic and leaving space for both real life and swapping things around.

The age-old question that most of us dread. Your kids, your spouse, and even you...we're all wondering what the heck is for dinner. I'm walking you through my entire meal planning process that I've fine-tuned from single girl in grad school and as a teacher through getting married and having a baby. Meals as a mom are quite the job (because you don't have enough to do, right?) so I'm hopeful this can make things a little easier on you!
