Hello There! I’m Mackenzie!

A former dietitian turned home organization strategist, cat mom (despite my allergies!), Diet Coke lover and the founder of At Home With Mackenzie.

But more than that?

I’m someone who knows exactly what it feels like to be drowning in to-dos, exhausted from the mental load, and desperate for just one dang corner of the house to stay clean.

If you’re a busy, overwhelmed mom who’s trying to manage all the things and still keep a smile on your face (even if it’s tired and coffee-fueled), you are 1000% in the right place.

This is for the moms who…

  • Are doing their best, but the house still feels chaotic
  • Can never find that permission slip or favorite hoodie when they need it
  • Are tired of repeating themselves to everyone (“Where’s your backpack? Did you brush your teeth? Stop leaving your socks on the stairs!”)
  • Secretly fantasize about hiding away outside for a bit just to drink a Diet Coke in peace

Yep. Been there. Lived there.

My mess-to-mission moment

Let me take you back to June of 2023. My fiancé, John, completely shattered his ankle. Suddenly, I was the only one handling everything: cooking, cleaning, shopping, finances, taking care of the kids, managing our home… all while juggling the stress of not having savings to fall back on.

There were days I would just cry. The house was a disaster, the to-do list never ended, and no one was jumping in to help. I had to be the “bad guy” asking the kids to pitch in more — and that guilt? It hit hard.

Eventually, I realized something had to change. I couldn’t keep operating in crisis mode, and I didn’t want to.

So I did what I do best: I created systems. Simple ones. Ones that worked for real life with kids and cats and chaos.

And as those systems took hold, things got lighter. I could breathe again. We found a rhythm. And I knew other moms needed this, too.

Where I come from (and why I care so much)

Before I started At Home With Mackenzie, I was a dietitian. I loved helping people feel better, but over time, I felt pulled in another direction. As our blended family grew and my home life got more complex, I realized I had a gift for creating calm out of chaos.

Even though I’ve always been pretty organized, I’m also forgetful (which is why I plan everything). So when John and his two kids (who were 8 and 10 at the time) moved in, my old systems didn’t cut it. I had to figure out something better — something realistic.

I started designing systems for our family that weren’t about perfection but about function. That’s where the magic happened. And that’s what I now share through At Home With Mackenzie.

My mission (aka why I do this)

I’m on a mission to help overwhelmed moms reclaim their space, clear their mind, and spend less time managing their homes so they can spend more time enjoying it.

Whether it’s through my digital products, courses, or simple checklists, everything I create is meant to help you:

  • Ditch the mental clutter
  • Create calm, functional spaces
  • Actually enjoy being home again

I want your home to work for you, not against you.

What makes me different?

There are a million organizing influencers out there with perfect pantries and color-coded playrooms. That’s not what this is.

At Home With Mackenzie is about real life. It’s about systems that work even when:

  • Your kids leave LEGOs everywhere
  • The laundry never seems to end
  • You’re running on zero sleep
  • The cats knock things off the counter (Ziggy and Nicksy, looking at you!)

And it’s all grounded in our core values:

Strive to simplify – because simpler = better.

Adapt & Evolve – Life changes, and so should your systems.

Innovation Motivates Action – We try new things, take risks, and learn fast.

Give Joy – We make people feel good (and laugh when we can).

Build for Durability – We’re here to make lasting impacts, not quick fixes.

Customers Are Our Superheroes – You are the reason we do this.

Get to know me

Some fun things that don’t always make it onto the checklist:

  • I’m obsessed with Diet Coke and Mountain Dew (yes, both)
  • I’m passionate about protecting the environment. My biggest inspiration? Aidan Gallagher. I’m a Tier 3 Patreon member, have had 3 Zoom calls with him, and never miss his Saturday livestreams. He’s been a huge part of my motivation to reduce carbon emissions and plastic waste.
  • I’m allergic to cats, but still consider John’s cats Ziggy and Nicksy my babies
  • I started this business to create freedom, get out of debt, and show my stepkids what it means to build something meaningful from scratch

Let’s make your home a place you actually enjoy

I’m here to help you get there. And I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.
