Functional-ish: A Survival Guide for the Rest of Us (Plus an Invite to the Softest, Messiest Corner of the Internet)




Functional-ish: For the People Duct-Taping Their Lives Together With Coffee and Hope


Let’s just get this out of the way:


I’m not a Pinterest mom.

I’m more of a “please don’t open that closet door” mom.

A “why is there a sock in the freezer” mom.

A “dinner is… whatever you can find and microwave” mom.


If you’ve ever felt like the only person whose house constantly looks like it lost a fight with a tornado made of laundry and forgotten water bottles—hi. You’re my people.

And I wrote a book for us!


📘Meet Functional-ish: Real Life Hacks From a Messy Mom Just Trying to Keep the Remote Where It Belongs


Let me be clear—this is not a book about getting your life perfectly together.


It’s a book about staying afloat when:

Your brain doesn’t always cooperate

Your kids treat furniture like parkour equipment

And your motivation is on a mysterious sabbatical


It’s part pep talk, part survival guide, part “you’re not alone,” and part “okay, but have you tried just putting a laundry basket in every single room and calling it a system?”



💡 Inside, You’ll Find:

🧠 Real-life ADHD and mom hacks (for when executive function has left the chat)

💛 Tiny wins that actually matter (like not crying in the school pickup line)

🥴 Honest stories about motherhood, burnout, shame, snacks, and surviving the absolute most


If you’ve ever served frozen waffles on a paper towel and called it a win, this book is for you.

👯‍♀️Because the Book Was Just the Beginning…


What I really needed wasn’t just hacks or lists.


I needed other humans—kind, honest, messy humans—who get it.

So I created a little corner of the internet for us:


 🎉 Join the Functional-ish Facebook Group


It’s a soft place for messy humans like us.

A place where we don’t pretend we’ve got it all figured out.

We share the wins, the fails, the weird stuff our kids said, and the dinner we scraped together out of freezer waffles and vibes.


We laugh. Sometimes we cry. Always we support.


This isn’t a group for perfection.

It’s a group for relief.


For that deep exhale you didn’t know you were holding.

For reminding each other that “trying” counts. Every time.



💬 Come Hang Out If…

You’re tired of feeling like everyone else got the instruction manual for adulthood

You’re piecing things together with duct tape and humor

You’re craving connection that doesn’t require clean counters or curated lives



We don’t have matching mugs.

We don’t have tidy toy bins or coordinated family calendars.

But we do have each other.


And honestly? That’s enough.

Let’s do this, friend.

One tiny win at a time.
