About me

Welcome!

I’m so happy you’re here!

Hi, I’m Amanda and I am, foremost, saved by Jesus Christ, a wife to an awesome, super nerdy, handsome man, and a mom of a handsome and joyful little boy, and a beautiful and spunky little girl.

I would like to help you with silencing the overwhelm and simplifying your busy life. I am really good at creating and maintaining routines, planning, accomplishing things from my ever-growing to-do list, decluttering, and organizing. In fact, I work as a Librarian full-time, so not only is organizing seriously part of my job, but I know what it’s like to take my son to daycare, barely make it to work on time, work all day, come home, cook dinner so we don’t starve, wrangle my son into bed, finish laundry, and finally sit down for some one-on-one time with my husband before I take care of myself and go to bed.

It’s exhausting! Or at least it was before I started implementing better routines and schedules for taking care of my home and family. Now I feel more at ease and less stressed.

Let me help you feel at ease and less stressed about your home and life
