At Li’l Duck & Co., we’re all about doing less of the things that drain us and more of the things that make real life feel good. As a mom of two little ones—one of them a newborn—plus a wife to an amazing husband, and a full-time employee running an entire department, let me tell you… time doesn’t just fly anymore, it teleports. One minute I’m reheating the same cup of coffee for the third time, and the next I’m rocking a baby while negotiating a peace treaty with a toddler over which color cup is “acceptable.”

There are moments I’ll never get back, and I’ve realized that when I’m overwhelmed, touched-out, or overstimulated by the beautiful chaos of raising tiny humans, what I really need is to Do Less of the things that don’t matter and More of the things that do.

The house? It’ll get cleaned… eventually.
The dishes? They’ll be washed… probably.
The laundry? Listen, it’ll get folded… someday.

But right now? I want to be fully in the moments that matter, like laughing when my toddler goes nuclear because “the air touched him,” or soaking in the quiet sweetness of a newborn snuggle at 2 AM.

So let this company be your duck-inspired reminder: Do Less.
Do less of the pressure.
Do less of the unrealistic expectations.
Do less of the guilt that comes from thinking you need to do it all.

Whether you’re a parent, a grandparent, a sleep-deprived caregiver, an overworked superhero, or part of the village keeping everything together, give yourself permission to let go of what’s weighing you down.

Do Less of the chaos, and quack on with the stuff that lifts you up.

The mess will wait. Your moments won’t.
