“Me Time” When You’re Needed Full-Time

Busy work-from-home wife and mom Marielle shares some simple and creative tips on how to sneak in precious “me-time” when family, work and life usually threaten to take it all.

I’m feeling it. I’m feeling hotter…literally (and, NO, it’s not menopause). With Summer 2021 beginning to feel like it’s going to be a scorcher, thoughts suddenly turn to hopeful imaginings of sandy toes, pristine waters and sunburned noses.

As a wife, mom, reluctant homeschool teacher, defacto interior designer, handywoman, “all-around maker of all things” (or so my 7-year-old daughter thinks), time is precious. I totally get it. As a mom of 3 kids, subconsciously stockpiling these precious time-saving tidbits along the way gave way to Simple Not Simple—a busy woman’s survival guide of useful shortcuts, inspiring Christian lessons, easy style how-to segments, wife/mom insights, DIY hacks, informative in-depth pieces with bits of the joyous nostalgic 80s sprinkled throughout (hey, why not?).

I hope you’ll stay awhile. Take a well-deserved breather on a comfy couch and browse, muse, hopefully take away a helpful nugget (or two) that will make your life a little bit easier as you dive right back into the world of kids, jobs, homeschool, household chores, laundry, and grocery-runs. (I know, I need to pick up a few things too!).

Let this be a shot of faith-filled, fun-filled caffeine for your soul. A quick pick-me-up. An escape (squeezed in between prepping the family’s next meal and doing the laundry) to get you through the repetitive, the complicated, the breakneck bullet train of the not-so-simple life we’re on.
