🍂 The Messy but Managed October Challenge: 31 Tiny Resets

October gets busy fast : school routines, activities, pumpkins everywhere, and suddenly you feel like you’re running on fumes. That’s why I created the Messy but Managed October Challenge: 31 tiny resets to help you pause, reconnect, and breathe this month.

It’s not about adding more to your plate. These are quick, doable prompts that bring a little more intention into the mess. Some take less than a minute, some invite connection with your kids, and some remind you that you matter too.

✨ Do them daily.
✨ Jump around the list.
✨ Or just pick a few favorites.

There’s no wrong way to join.
