Meet Elizabeth
get to know me
Hi, I’m Elizabeth Shannon!
It is hard to remember life back in 2008, but it was filled with long, hard days. I was knee-deep in the trenches of single motherhood, wrangling two adorable baby girls under the age of 1, while simultaneously trying to ace my college courses. It was a chaotic time, but I was determined to pave a path to success for myself and my girls.
Fast forward to 2011, and life threw me another curveball—I found myself saying “I do” to a Godsend of a husband and stepping into the role of stepmom, now mothering three amazing kiddos. Imagine the madness of managing a household with three energetic kids, each just a year apart in age – all while working and going to school. But hey, we all made it out alive!
In 2013, my husband and I added another little one to the mix, because apparently it just wasn’t busy enough!
And in 2014, I FINALLY graduated college with honors.
I did it! I met my goal.
My journey has taken me through various career paths, from crunching numbers in banking to orchestrating the business of a bustling dental office. One of my proudest moments? – Leading the charge in digitizing the entire office’s systems, dragging my co-workers kicking and screaming into the digital age. It was a wild ride, but we emerged stronger and more efficient than ever before.
But my organizational skills aren’t limited to the workplace—I also honed my talents in my local church family. From managing the church finances, to leading the youth group, to running the show behind the scenes during Sunday services as the Audio Visual Director, I became the go-to gal for keeping things running smoothly.
At home, I’m the queen of spreadsheets and labels. Seriously, if it doesn’t have a label, you don’t need it! And there isn’t anything that can’t be tracked in a spreadsheet. Whether it’s managing our family budget or ensuring everyone knows where their socks go (spoiler alert: it’s in the labeled sock basket), I’ve got it covered.
Nowadays, you’ll find me working from home and in my free time, pouring my heart and soul into this blog. It’s my little corner of the internet where I get to share my tips, tricks, and sometimes not so hilarious anecdotes about managing life’s chaos. It’s the big little things that bring me joy! So grab a cup of coffee (or wine, no judgment here), pull up a seat, and let’s tackle this crazy journey of getting our life together – together!
