Hey! I’m tori.
I’m a stay-at-home mom with a professional background in communication and personal finance!
I’m a married mother of two young boys, 2 and 4 years old. I currently stay home to raise the boys, run the household and steward what we’ve been given. In a previous life I was a Branch Manager for a large bank. I want to share all the tips, tricks, and tools I’ve gleaned from my time as a working mother and now as a stay-at-home mom. Much of the advice and guidance come from mom’s that were a few steps ahead and passed their wisdom down to me.
It may not work for every family, but it works for ours!
Join me as I provide advice, guidance and resources that I have used (or created) as I work to steward my home, family, and finances with simple joy. I’ll share the toys we’ve found to be the best value, the books that we treasure, the tools that help me keep my home relatively clean & tidy as my young boys play, learn, and thrive.

Joyful
Why does it seem that work, motherhood, and household management steal your joy? Are you trying to do it all alone? Reinventing the wheel adds unnecessary stress and complications to the joys and satisfaction that motherhood and stewarding our household can bring.
stewardship
You are a steward. You have been entrusted by God with the task of overseeing your finances, your household, and the health & wellness of your children. While we can pursue this with simple joy, we never want to minimize the weight of responsibility we bear.
