Hi! My name is Leslie, and I’m so excited that you’re visiting my blog, findmomjoy.com.

Sometimes the chaos and craziness of everyday mom-life can be overwhelming. As a full-time teacher and mother of five, some days it just seems like I keep spinning the hamster wheel- running as fast as I can only to end up right where I started.  Do you ever find yourself so weighed down by the stress of it all that you find that you’ve lost the sense of joy that comes with being a parent? You’re not alone!

I started this blog as a way to share what I’ve learned (and what I am STILL learning) about finding joy in parenting again. From organizational tips to parenting strategies to ideas for family fun, I hope to inspire parents like you to find ways to do the necessary work more efficiently so you can be free to enjoy those precious moments with your kids.

I’m realizing more every day that in a blink, my kids will be grown. Even in the everyday routine, there are precious memories to be made. I’ll also share tips and tricks for big families like mine to get organized and establish some helpful household routines to make life a little easier.

When I’m not blogging about mom-life, I’m living it! I have five beautiful children, ranging in age from preschool to high school. My oldest two sons are twins, so here’s a shoutout to Moms of multiples! I also have two daughters and another son. Between taking kids to football, marching band, and dance classes, we have a full calendar. I am also a full-time music teacher at an elementary school, so music is another passion of mine. I enjoy singing, dancing, and I just started learning the violin. I also love anything and everything Disney.

Thanks again for visiting findmomjoy.com. Please feel free to contact me if there’s anything you’d like to know more about. I hope you find some great ideas that will help you put the fun back into family life.

–Leslie
