About

The honest version of motherhood. A cozy home on a budget, small adventures, and the real parts. By a tired mom, for the tired ones.

I'm a single mom raising my girl, Alayna. We're mostly outside, usually a little wet, often running on a warm Diet Coke I forgot about an hour ago. I'm doing my best most days, and leaning on grace for the rest.

Layna's Grace started because I was tired of the highlight reel. Everywhere I looked, motherhood was clean counters and matching outfits and somebody who clearly had help. That is not my life. Mine is loud and on a budget and mostly held together with snacks.

So this is the honest version. The home I make work on one income, the small adventures we can actually afford, and the stuff I'd text a friend about. I only link what I actually use. That trust is the whole thing.
