May-cember Madness & the One Thing That’s Getting Me Through It

They say December is wild... but can we talk about May?
Between school wrapping up, quick vacay trips, graduation parties, trying to run a business and a household, and trying to figure out what on earth the summer is going to look like—May feels like chaos in a cute outfit.
Whether you're packing teacher gifts, juggling carpool, or just trying to remember which kid needs what color shirt for which theme day—this season is no joke. And even if you're not a mom, there's a good chance your calendar feels a little like a Jenga tower with one shaky piece left.
So if no one has told you lately: You're doing better than you think. You're allowed to slow down. You're allowed to let something go. And no—you’re not the only one wondering how every event ended up in the same two weeks.
A Real-Life Tip That’s Helping Me:
Pick just ONE “anchor” for your day—and let everything else orbit around it.
Whether it’s your morning coffee on the porch (even for five minutes), dinner as a family (even if it’s cereal), or a midday walk or prayer—you choose one thing that makes you feel grounded. Then, no matter how messy the day gets, you had that one thing that mattered. It’s permission to breathe without trying to fix it all. It's hard...but you can do it!
One Little Joy That’s Just for Me:
My customers and I have been loving the monthly subscription boxes (click here for reveal and details) that show up like a little “you’ve got this” in our mailbox. No stress. No guesswork. Just something fun and wearable that I can throw on with whatever’s clean and still feel cute. It’s the accessory version of “set it and forget it”—which is exactly what I need right now. And I bet you do to!
Also, quick shoutout to my custom koozies—these things are saving moms everywhere on game days, at the cook-outs, at the field, at graduation parties, even playdates… basically all the places where your drink would otherwise be warm and forgotten. They’re cute, they’re personal, and they’re only around this time of year (like until June!). Personally I love using mine while outside with the kids or during our campfire nights.
So whether you're surviving May-cember with a planner, a prayer, or a pretty cup/koozie—know you are not alone. I see you. I’m with you. And if you need something small to lift your day or keep your drink cold, I’ve got a few ideas.
✨ Share this with a mom (or human) who’s in the middle of May-cember too. And drop a comment—what’s getting you through this month? You never know who it may encourage.
Let’s keep cheering each other on. 💛
So excited to share this with you this month. Please tell me I'm not the only one going through this.
