Free Guide on Becoming a Present Work From Home Mom

hey y'all!
Hi, I’m Stephanie — blogger, boy mom of four, and wife to a firefighter, running on toddler hugs and way too much iced coffee.
I’m all about curating that “vacation feeling” in everyday life here in Lexington, KY — through backyard adventures, exploring local gems, and soaking up the chaos.
I also help other moms start their own blogs and build income from home — because I believe every mom has something worth sharing.
Whether you're here for local life, motherhood stories, or to launch your own dream blog — I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s be friends!
