About

Welcome to my blog!

I am so glad that you stopped by! It is my greatest desire to find a way to be a small bright spot in your day. I hope that this blog brings you joy in the midst of the chaos of life.

Who is Min. Max. Mom?

I am a wife, mom, Kindergarten teacher, and so many other things in between. I started this blog as a way to find myself again in the middle of life and express my love of the written language in a way that I always dreamed I would. From blog posts and book reviews, to any of the things that bring me joy. It is my hope to be able to share with you a moment of peace. A break from the chaos and busyness that is mom-life, or just life in general.

Why Min. Max. Mom?

My husband and I are both self-proclaimed nerds/geeks. So when I told him about wanting to start a blog and what I wanted it to be about, he came up with the name Min. Max. Mom. Since I’ve never played DnD he then explained the term min/maxing and how players used it to strengthen their characters. By minimizing skills that are less needed they are able to maximize skills that will help their character throughout the game.

So, while this is not a game of DnD, I completely relate to the need to minimize certain aspects of my life, such as stress and anxiety, so that I could maximize the things that are most important, peace and positivity. In doing so, I am better able to take care of my family, my job, and anything else that comes my way.

Stay A While

While this is just a simple blog, I hope that it brings you joy. That in the middle of all that life is throwing your way, you can pause and reflect on all of the good things in life. Welcome!
