Hi, I’m Lorilei!
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a Jesus-loving wife, mama of three, homeschooler, working professional, and encourager of women who want more — more purpose, more peace, more joy, and more freedom in the everyday mess of motherhood.
I started this blog because for years, I felt a tug on my heart — a nudge that there was more to motherhood than just surviving each day. I wanted a space to share the real moments: the sacred, the chaotic, the funny, and the faithful. A place where we can talk about parenting, career, health, homeschooling, and walking closely with God — all in the same breath.
Because yes, we are mamas. But we are more than that too.
My Story
I’ve spent nearly two decades in marketing and communications, but my most important titles are wife and mama. My husband, Justin, and I both attended private Christian schools, and our original plan was to send our kids down that same path — until God rewrote our story. Now we’re a homeschooling family learning as we go, building an education around faith, freedom, and curiosity.
We also both work from home, and yes — that’s as loud and wonderful and complicated as it sounds.
This blog has been on my heart for years, but I waited. I let perfectionism hold me back. I thought I had to have the perfect setup, the perfect timing, the perfect plan. But here’s the truth: there’s only one perfect parent, and that’s God. The rest of us? We’re doing our best, growing daily, and leaning hard into grace.
What You’ll Find Here
You’ll find encouragement and practical tools for:
Faith-filled motherhood
Homeschooling (especially from the perspective of a working mom)
Career & purpose as a Christian woman
Healthy living and personal growth
Building a life (and maybe even a business) rooted in faith, not perfection
I believe in real talk. In slow mornings. In listening to your gut (and the Holy Spirit). In rest. In purpose. In laughter. And that sometimes the best moments aren’t planned — they come in cardboard box robots and spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen.
Whether you’re here to learn, laugh, or just know you’re not alone — welcome. You’re seen, loved, and meant for more.
Let’s do this together.
