About Me

Hi there! I’m Julie, a wife and mom of three incredible girls who keep me on my toes. Since 2018, I’ve embraced the role of stay-at-home mom, and I’m passionate about making the most of every moment with my little ones. Whether it’s planning fun at-home activities, hosting lively parties, or organizing playdates, I love creating memories without breaking the bank.

I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, where I get to enjoy the charm of suburban life while still being close enough to the excitement of the city. Before becoming a full-time mom, I worked in Washington, D.C., in the policy field. While I’ve transitioned from that world to one filled with toddler tantrums and DIY crafts, my love for organizing, planning, and making things work on a budget has never wavered.

Here, I’ll share tips, ideas, and inspiration for making family life not only affordable but fun and memorable. From crafting low-cost party ideas to simple home projects, my goal is to help busy parents like you create lasting moments without the stress. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find some ideas you can use in your own home!
