About Me

Hello and Welcome to my blog "Not Just A Mom With Boys!"

I'm Jan and I currently live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  I am a wife, mother of two boys, daughter, sister and friend. I am also a dog mother to our little long-haired Chihuahua: Princess. I have a love for organizing, crafting, scrapbooking, gardening, cooking and baking.  I love holidays! I love pictures! I am a Pinterest addict! I adore my family and I love to laugh. 

Organizing isn't about perfection, it's about efficiency, reducing stress & clutter, saving time and money & improving your overall quality of life. - Christina Scalise

My two boys are very active and just like you I juggle continually. Many of you moms with sons know that having boys can be chaotic but in the most fulfilling and blessed way! Whether it’s planning our Scout activities as my boy's Scout leader, volunteering at their schools, running to soccer lessons, chess club or studying for those weekly spelling tests, I am enjoying every minute of it ! I believe that the chaos and business of being a mom can be fun and so much more effective when you are organized. Which brings me to another of my favorite things: Organization. Here on my blog I hope to inspire you with sharing free printables, tips and tutorials, meal plans, recipes, how to have fun with boys, things to do with your kids, homeschooling projects and lots of management tips that will inspire you to get organized. If your kiddos have allergies like my boys do, I will share ideas on peanut free lunches and recipes that are homemade to cut out processed foods and help bring healthy meals to your table.

So at the end of the day, before I "tie those apron strings" to make dinner, I enjoy having "Tea time" and I hope you will pull up a chair and come stay for tea and follow me on this journey of organizing your home life....
