Welcome to Busy Mommas Nook! 🎉

Hey friend—I’m Megan: homeschool momma, recruitment‑marketing pro by day, creative whirlwind by night. Around here you’ll find plant‑powered recipes, hands‑on learning ideas, and plenty of real‑talk about juggling a career while raising an adventurous kiddo (shout‑out to Azriel!) and our goofy pup, Hazel.

Why I Started This Blog

After becoming a mom in 2017, I fell head‑over‑heels for Montessori and child‑led learning. But I also realized how precious family time is—so Busy Mommas Nook was born as a cozy corner to document our homeschool journey, share the hacks that keep our household humming, and cheer on other parents charting their own course.
