Hello!

Hello!

I'm Mika, a wife, mother to 3, entrepreneur, and co-host of the podcast Good To Be Home. I'm here to help you live a more calm, organized and energized life with simple solutions and easy ideas.

Have you ever thought about starting a blog? Or ma

New blog post : the best affordable and cute dance

New blog post : the best affordable and cute dance gear for your little dancer! I know many of you are fellow dance moms and even more have young ones just getting into dance, so I’ve narrowed down a list of items that I’ve relied on for the last 6 years of dance classes, competitions, and recitals to help you know what to buy and where to get it 🩰 Link in bio!

Who else here is a dance mom? 🙋🏻‍♀️ #dancemoms #ontheblog

Now that I’m home, back to my regularly schedule

Now that I’m home, back to my regularly scheduled organizing posts 😉 Parking this one right here in my feed to show you how I organize our girls’ hair bows, which is something I know can get out of control when you have girls! This is a DIY “bow board” I made a couple years ago using an old frame, ribbon, padding material, fabric and a staple gun. I’m not a huge DIY’er - but I am one when I have something super specific in mind and can’t find it out there!! Most of our bows come from Amazon, a couple of boutiques, and there are a few in there that I made myself when Maddix and Reese were little and they didn’t have as many cute bow shops out there. Ok, so I guess I do have a little DIY in me! 🛠 🎀#organized #hairbow

The London sun is shining and my bags are packed - leaving this morning to go home ✈️🇺🇸

And it’s just in time for a NEW episode on the Good To Be Home podcast all about packing and traveling! Find out what @russperry and I bring in our carry-ons, what we always pack in our checked bags, our in-flight routines, and our favorite items for making travel easier and a little less stressful. We recorded this episode in London, so it’s very of-the-moment.

Currently : typing this as I’m eating a bag of chips and a green juice at Heathrow (balance ✌🏼😂) I’m flying solo because Russ left for Asia (Sri Lanka, specifically) and looking forward to reading and a face mask on the flight (@emmediane pumpkin mask and a @floliving book) and I cannot wait to see and hug the girls when I get home 💕

Happy Valentine’s Day! Wishing you all the beaut

Happy Valentine’s Day! Wishing you all the beauty, love, and flowers - today and every day! 💐💝 #valentines #prettylittlelondon

If any of you guessed London - 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! Russ and I are back for business and to see if there are ways for us to spend more time here in the future. We fell in love with this city last summer, so we came back to see if we still liked it when it’s cold and rainy. So far it’s a YES (because it means I can wear coats!) but in true magical London fashion, the skies just cleared up and turned blue and the streets are quiet and it’s beautiful every corner we turn. Ahhh I just love this city! 🇬🇧 (If you scroll down in my feed you can see this same shot from earlier in the summer!)

Off to dinner! 👋🏼 #london #travelgram

On a flight, any guesses where I’m headed (back) to today? 😉 #travelgram

I have this voice I use whenever my kids are sick,

I have this voice I use whenever my kids are sick, and it’s not my own. It’s the kindest, most gentle, patient, quiet, compassionate voice : it’s MY MOM’s 💛
•
From reassuring words and the way I pat their backs, to the way I quietly hold their hair and make sure they’re not cold is the EXACT way my mom used to do it for me - and I recognize it immediately. It sometimes catches me off guard like “whoa. That’s mom” 😳
•
Today I heard my voice and watched myself in the motions of taking care of Reese and saw my mom in it all. It made me wonder for the first time ever if my mom heard those words and were comforted in the same way by my grandma, who maybe heard it from her mom. Like this long lineage of motherhood and caretaking 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧
•
I wondered if Reese would take care of her kids someday like this, and if she would remember my words. But knowing how I remember now as an adult and am literally acting out what my mom did - I think she will. Which is kind of the coolest thing 🌟
•
So even though we are stuck in the hotel room at Disneyland, I am comforted, too, and am filled with patience - just like my mom always had for me 💕

You guys asked for it so here it is! Today I’m sharing 9 healthy snack ideas for kids on the blog 🌿🍏🍊🥦🥕🍿 Plus my favorite tips (and a few tricks) that I use to get my kids to actually eat them! Hint... one of them involves your friendly neighborhood tiger 🐯
•
These goldfish crackers definitely didn’t make the list, but I’m a real mom living a real life over here with my real kids - and goldfish crackers are a real part of it. I’m all about that balancing act of motherhood 😉
