Rachel Robinson

Meet Rachel

I was born and raised in Lincoln, NE. Before turning into a stay-at-home mom to Ellie, Brecken, and Finley, I taught PE at Scott Middle School for over eight years.

My husband, John, coaches men’s gymnastics at the University of Nebraska, and our kids love cheering on the athletes and playing in the gym. Go Big Red!

I hope you relate to my joys and challenges of motherhood as I share the little details and the big moments of my family’s life that I find so fulfilling.

Ashlee Hendricks

Meet Ashlee

I’m a mom to Ellie, Anna, and Levi. I balance part-time nursing with full-time motherhood. My husband, Jon, is a professor at UNL’s Business College.

We’ve called Lincoln home for five years, after being raised in Missouri and moving from South Carolina. My family loves outdoor adventures—biking, camping, and anything water-related!

I’ve been supported and inspired by so many amazing parents on my motherhood journey, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you.

Ashlee Hendricks

Meet Cassidy

I’m originally from North Platte, but Lincoln has been my home for over a decade. My husband, Justin, and I have two children, Maxwell and Zoey.

We’re both small business owners—Justin in motorsports, and me as a personal trainer and social media manager. Our flexible schedules allow us to prioritize family life.

I love photography, reading, podcasts, and cooking. Though motherhood is demanding and exhausting, I can’t wait to share the beautifully messy journey with you!
