Hey, I’m Dana, a Christian wife and homeschool mom of three. Since becoming a mom, I spent so much time feeling overwhelmed, like life was just dragging me along. I wondered, “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I do it all when everyone else seems to have it together?” I was unhappy, my family was miserable, and it wasn’t working for us. I was saying yes to everything and felt so busy and like I didn’t even have time to fit in a date night.
I finally realized I needed to be intentional about planning our week and setting up boundaries to create a life we all loved. And I’m so excited to share this process with you!
