Ease the weight of motherhood by creating well-designed, organized spaces that do the work for you.

Welcome, friend.

I’m Natasha Mila — Christian, wife, mom x4, former elementary teacher, & creator behind this space.

Motherhood is...something.
Beautiful, and also, a lot.

Two things might help:

1) Remember, not everything is serious and dire. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

2) A little prep work can save you a LOT of parenting work (and headaches).

In this space we will work on not sweating the small stuff and creating a home that works for us—not against us.

To get to know this Wisconsin mom a little better, here is an incomplete list of things I love:

Jesus. My husband. My kids. Dance parties. Singing terribly off-key to made up lyrics in my kitchen.

Learning. Satire. Coffee. Tea. Pretty mugs. Audiobooks.

Decluttering. Organizing.

Sunshine. Campfires (and s’mores, duh).

Small towns. Vast landscapes. Small houses. Big stories.

The quiet. The mornings. Poetry. Photography.

TV shows > movies (with ice cream).

Being miles from civilization with a backpack full of gear.

Neature.

And a good laugh.

My qualifications for sharing on the internet: I’m human. I don’t feel entitled to have listeners / readers. But I do feel entitled to share in hopes of bettering the life of someone like you!

Random ‘official’ accolades (for those who like to see this small piece of the puzzle): I’m an ex-teacher with my masters in education and a continued passion for childhood development and learning. My undergrad degree was a double major in zoology and child development/family studies (from UW Madison GO BADGERS!).

Fun fact: I used to want to travel and save the elephants with my zoology degree that taught me nothing about elephants. Instead, we decided to have a litter of kids and chickens. Maybe one day I’ll work with an elephant or two. Never say never right?

Hello new friend.
