Welcome, I’m
Helping you simplify your life with life
hacks, budgeting, simple DIYs, and
honest motherhood.
Connecticut Blogger and YouTuber
I’m Kallie Branciforte, AKA That Practical Mom. I’m a blogger, YouTuber, mom x4, wife, and usually in need of another cup of coffee. I’m committed to simplifying the everyday chaos of motherhood and helping you do the same.
A little more about me?
In 2016 I married my high school sweetheart and the blog husband here at BFC. He’s my best friend and #1 supporter. BFC wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for him.
In 2017 my husband and I paid off over $70k in debt and have since lived debt-free. So I love sharing affordable living content.
In 2018 I became a mom to Miles. My husband and I struggled through infertility and miscarriage to conceive, but it was worth it all 100x over to be a mama. So, I share a lot of motherhood content.
In 2021 we welcomed baby girl Finley to the family! Then in 2023 Tate joined the crew. And, Opal arrived in 2024. It’s always busy at our house!
I’m part of a motherhood podcast; you can find us at Just 4 Moms.
I’m a morning person. My body pretty much shuts down at 8:00 pm, so I’ve learned that if I want to get things done, I need to wake up early for them.
I live in Connecticut. In 2024 we bought a Victorian and I have fun filling it with color and pattern.
I’m a big-time homebody. We spend most of our time at home, so we love making it just how we want.
In 2020 I quit my job in an office to pursue being a YouTuber and blogger full-time and haven’t looked back. Alongside making content on my YouTube Channel about realistic organization, productivity, and saving money, I also have a whole library of printables and guides you can use!
