I’m a gal who wants to be an amazing mom, to live simply, and to shine my light. At Simplify Firefly, I focus on inspiring you to be your brightest. I’m here to provide fresh ideas, tips, and products on how to simplify your life and create happiness in your home.
A bit about Simplify Firefly
Before this was Simplify Firefly, it was Do More Than Exist. Do More Than Exist birthed when I renewed my faith in Jesus (2005). I realized that I wasn’t on this planet for myself, but for Him (a.k.a. Jesus). Navigating life with a renewed mindset is exciting yet hard; however, what I found was that simply reading the words do more than exist helped me in more ways than one. I like to say it’s my motto.
So why the name Simplify Firefly? Light always overcomes darkness no matter how small the light is. I wanted to hone in on the small stuff that makes a big impact, simplify life, and bring happiness into the home.
Get to know Christy
I’m passionate about bringing joy into the world and keeping it there. My joy has been stolen too many times in my life, whether it be due to health, a relationship, work, or whatnot, I’m putting my foot down… no more! In the blog, I cover how to bring happiness to our kids and ourselves with simple solutions to navigate through those circumstances and to protect your joy.
In my Etsy Shop, I love to bring my ideas to life and to put my youthful imagination and creativity into practice! From writing and illustrating children’s picture books to fun printables for kids, it’s a great space to bring joy to others in a simple way.
As I said earlier I come from A LOT of experience with health issues and the toll it takes on your mental well-being, I share with you what I learned. My hope is for you to find a piece of your puzzle for your own well-being and to keep moving forward to healing. Here’s a secret: most of the time it’s adjusting something simple that has a powerful healing impact.
Be sure to check out my purposeful printables at my shop! There is something there for everyone.
Thinking of you always,
Christy

At Simplify Firefly my job is to protect the work environment. I guard the office against furry intruders, I assure the atmosphere is light and happy (my looks do the trick all the time), and I alert everyone when a package arrives. My favorite time of day is ‘break time’ when I practice my chasing skills with my amazing squeaky toy.
What I wear every day – fur, blonde is my go-to.
My very first job – Snuggling…I still do this.
My favorite thing ever – Elephant Pillow Pet.
Best way to end the day – walk, frozen yogurt, ear rub.
