Over here, we do imperfect.
We do real.
We have limited budgets, not enough sleep, and big dreams.
Every day is an adventure – and one we love sharing with you.
We’re working on making our fixer upper a home, one project at a time.

I believe in making a beautiful home on a budget, so we can enjoy life with our families in a space that we love. Come see more about us

I think it comes down to boundaries. I am naturally VERY bad at setting up boundaries. It’s a problem 😅 this is a boundary that I’ve noticed works well for all of us 💗 I need it to be a better mom, and my kids really need it too! It’s a nice ‘reset’ in the middle of our day... and hopefully my kids will realize that healthy boundaries can be a really good thing for them to implement in life later down the road too 😉

Now - people in my stories are asking for quiet time activity ideas ... if you have any simple realistic ideas - leave them in the comments so we can all help eachother! 🤗
