Who I Am

My name is Lena, and I am a wife, a mother of two lion cubs, and a dog. They are actually my children, but there are a lot of similarities, I promise. The dog is an actual dog—a Labradoodle—who feels the need to follow me everywhere.

I work full-time in a corporate-style, work-from-home position. I have a schedule. My husband has a schedule. The children have a schedule. It felt like 2025 and 2026 were just harder in ways I did not anticipate.

I started looking for ways to be more present and reduce our stuff, our calendar, our everything, so life wouldn't feel quite so hard. I don't think I have fully figured it out, but I don't think I ever will, because life is moving and we are grooving.

I have learned a lot along the way, and things feel better now. But it also ignited a passion and a need to share the experiences my family and I have had, and what we did to adjust everything so we can better handle things now.

I hope this blog helps all of you, even a little bit, and opens your mind to the many possibilities that are out there.

It shouldn't be this hard all the time.

We got this!
