Meet Annabelle from Hello Honeycomb

Hi, I’m Annabelle.

I’m a mom of 2 under 2 who found myself struggling as an Early Childhood Educator and Developmental Specialist turned stay-at-home mom. In the early days after my first baby, I found myself floundering in the new challenges of motherhood. 

I went from traveling, working in the education/social work field, hiking, and working out to feeling like all I was doing was folding laundry and cleaning spit up. I was overwhelmed and unfulfilled in what everyone was telling me were the best days of my life. Something had to change.

Over time, I slowly built skills and systems to simplify my life and home while challenging myself to continue to do the things I love with a baby in tow. Now I’m doing that with a toddler and a baby!

I created Hello Honeycomb to share the tips and systems helping me thrive in the trenches of the little years. Along with practical home systems and insights into creating a simplified childhood, I share our favorite hikes and outings as locals in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio. Hello Honeycomb is a place where I share what I’m learning in the messy middle of creating a simplified childhood, well-managed home, and thriving motherhood in the little years that are too often written off as “survival mode.”

I believe we can thrive right now, right here. We just need some tools to help us.

Motherhood is busy and demanding, much like a honeybee hive.

And like a hive, it’s also meant to be full of community and meaningful work with a sweet bounty. Hello Honeycomb is my journey of embracing the sweetness and the challenge of motherhood. Come join as we learn how to get things done and get out there with our littles!
