Welcome to Three Little Birds

Welcome to Three Little Birds! I’m so glad you’re here. This is a space for working moms who are juggling careers, families, and the long game of raising kids into capable adults. Here you’ll find tools, encouragement, and a little bit of real-life honesty about what helps me thrive at home, at work, and everywhere in between.

About Me

Hi, I’m Stephanie — mom of three, wife to a firefighter, educator, and now a new college parent (how did that happen so fast?). Life in our house has always been full of movement, laughter, and the kind of chaos that comes from raising kids while also working full-time.

The name Three Little Birds comes from my three kids, who I’ve always thought of as little birds in the nest. My job isn’t just to keep them safe and fed while they’re here — it’s to teach them how to fly. That perspective has helped me through the tough parenting moments, reminding me that short-term disappointments are often long-term lessons. We’re not just raising kids, we’re raising adults.

By day, I work in education with a focus on special education and support for students with disabilities. Belonging and inclusivity aren’t just my professional values — they shape how I parent, how I show up in marriage, and how I connect with friends. I believe in making space for people to be who they are, and I carry that into everything I write here.

On this site, you’ll find reflections on books I’m reading, the tools that help me balance work and family, favorite finds that make home life easier, and thoughts on raising kids who will leave the nest ready to soar. I don’t have all the answers (far from it), but I love sharing what’s working, what I’m learning, and what helps me feel a little lighter along the way.

So pour yourself a cup of coffee, or grab a sparkling water, and let’s figure out this working-mom life together.
