Hey there, mama!
I know you.
I know how you wake up way too early and yet still think you should wake up earlier. I know how you stress and worry about what your children eat, what they wear, and how they sleep. I know you wonder if you’re doing enough as a working mom, and I know how you feel guilty for loving nap time so much as a stay-at-home mom. I know that you feel drained, ecstatic, irritated, and hopeful- all within the span of 15 minutes.
So… let’s do better.
Not through our own strength, but through God’s grace and in community with each other. Let’s pick each other’s brains and get intentional about preparing ourselves for the beautiful job of motherhood. Ready?
I’m convinced that being more intentional as a mom all starts with the right tools. Would you build a house without a hammer? Of course not! With that in mind, I’ve put together a list of my favorite resources and posts you’ll find on Jules & Co. These tools will help you find your groove, simplify your life, and gain confidence as a mom.
My mission is to help you build big brains and happy hearts in your little ones! Here are my favorite resources to help you do just that…

Mom Blogger Tips
I fell in love with blogging shortly after I decided to stay home with my son. I mean, I really fell in love! I plunged head-first into the blogosphere without one clue of where I was going. Along the way, I’ve come across a few tools and resources that have saved me again and again from blogger burnout. I highly recommend the resources below. They save me time, make me money while I spend time with family, and allow me to have energy to focus on the parts of my business that I really love, like writing and connecting with you!
- ConvertKit: Automation is absolutely essential for bloggers, and even more so for mom bloggers. I simply don’t have time to spend all day working on my business. I’ve got a family to raise, y’all! I stumbled on ConvertKit for my emailing service after about 8 months into blogging, and I haven’t looked back since. The beauty of ConvertKit is that it’s built for bloggers, allowing me to create multiple opt-in freebies, automate drip emails, and broadcast to segments of my email list. It’s seriously a game changer for mom bloggers. Try it out for 30 day, FREE!

And…do it the easy way! Tailwind is a Pinterest-approved scheduling tool that allows you to have a 24-7 presence on Pinterest- without actually being on Pinterest 24-7. I’m telling you, it’s sooo easy to use, and it has had a huge impact in the growth of my blog. This is another one of those time-saving necessities that will save your neck as a mom blogger. Tailwind also has a FREE trial, so don’t miss out!
