Every product, tool, or printable on this page is something I’ve personally used or created to make life as a mom a little less overwhelming. Whether you’re looking for chore help for teens, parenting books that don’t make you roll your eyes, or tools I’ve used to build this blog—this is my go-to list.
📚 Favorite Reads
The Surrendered Wife
Ignore the title and get the book. It's not what it sounds like. Especially if you struggle with creating boundaries. It's a life-changer. It's about surrendering, trying to control everything, not to another person, and learning how to receive help, and therefore asking for it.

✨ Stuff I Made to Make Life Easier
Here’s where I highlight just a few things I’ve created—printables, planners, worksheets, and bundles—that moms (and their teens) actually use.
Some are free for subscribers through The Vault, others are paid options if you want to skip the chaos and go straight to done-for-you.
The 👜Booked & Busy: Babysitter Kit is packed with worksheets and a complete walk-through guide to help tweens and teens start and grow a babysitting business.
Carrying too much? You’re not alone.
These worksheets walk you through exactly what you’re holding—and what you can finally drop.
You’ll figure out what roles make sense, which ones don’t, and how to start offloading what’s not yours to carry.
😵💫Stop Guessing What's Causing the Mood Swings
Help them track it instead.
Build better routines, encourage self-awareness, and take the guesswork out of those teen mood swings.
