Welcome!

Hi there Friend!

You want to give your children memorable moments! You want their childhood to be magical, full of wonderful family traditions, fun activities, & amazing parties! But trying to do it all perfectly is exhausting! And you can’t even enjoy the time you have with your family because you are too stressed trying to make it all just right!

Being a mom is hard, and it can be overwhelming!

You want to give them a healthy meal, but you barely have then energy to pour out a bowl of cereal!
You want everyone to have coordinating outfits for church, but the kids can’t even find a pair of matching socks!
You want to plan fun family game nights & activities, but you end up binge watching Netflix instead!
You have really high expectations for yourself as a mother, and you sometimes feel like you are failing!

Hi! I’m Brandi! A busy, tired, and easily overwhelmed wife & mom of 4! I am a recovering perfectionist… meaning that I struggle EVERY DAY to put my family & connection above my to-do list! I know what if feels like to want to be the perfect mom, but to often feel like you aren’t doing a good job!

When I was young, I dreamed of all of the special things that I would one day do with my family when I was married and had children. I started collecting magazine and newspaper articles of fun family ideas at an early age, and I knew that I would make every occasion meaningful and every day would be full of special memories!!!

Well, fast forward a few decades, and my idealistic dreams have met with the harsh realities of life with 4 rambunctious kiddos under 10! And although I still desire to I give my children a happy childhood, teach them to love God with all their hearts, and to be good people, I am learning (slowly) to let some of the perfectionism go!

I am starting to realize that I must simplify our everyday life so that we can have time for “making memories” and enjoying each other, the stuff that really matters! And you too!

If you want to find simple ways to celebrate holidays, enjoy simple moments with your family, and create fun, but low-stress traditions, then The Sweetest Part is the place for you!
