Hi, I’m MJ — mom of three, full-time professional, part-time chaos wrangler, and full-time dreamer who occasionally manages to drink her coffee before it goes cold (victory!).
Just Bright and Busy was born out of my reality: a life where I wish I had time to color-code my calendar, the laundry is never-ending, and the “fun stuff” is squeezed into the margins between meetings, mealtimes, and the occasional toddler meltdown.
Here, you’ll find a mix of everything that lights me up — from practical tips to playful distractions, little wins worth celebrating, and the occasional dive into the wonderfully ridiculous (because if we can’t laugh at ourselves, are we even alive?).
This space is for anyone who’s ever tried to juggle deadlines while finding a missing shoe, or answered emails with a child hanging off their arm, or wondered if “self-care” counts when it’s just sitting in the car alone for five minutes.
Pull up a chair (or just stand while scrolling — I get it), and let’s figure out how to keep life bright, even when it’s oh-so busy.
Welcome to Just Bright and Busy—where coffee is a food group, sleep is a rumor, and multitasking is both my love language and my coping mechanism.
