Welcome to Anchored Women!
Friends! It’s time! Welcome to our new space!
Intentional Moms is now officially Anchored Women: Trading Scattered for Steadfast.
And I am SO GLAD that you’re here!! Today I want to share with you the heart behind this shift, what’s changing, and what’s staying the same. Ready? Here we go!
What is Anchored Women all about?
Anchored Women is all about learning how to trade scattered for steadfast. It’s about quitting the overwhelm and stepping away from the busy, so that we can step INTO what God has for us – a life of peace and rest in Him.
I’m passionate about helping women (that’s YOU!) cut through all the noise out there and truly anchor your day-to-day life in Biblical truth and practical solutions. I’ve learned we need a balanced mix of both if we have any hope of escaping that pit of overwhelm.
And friend, there really IS hope!
I BELIEVE WOMEN TODAY NEED:
- less noise → more TRUTH
- less confusion → more CLARITY
- less busy → more PEACE
- less options → more ACTION
I’m convinced that truth, clarity and peace only come from the Lord, so I’m committed to filtering every single thing you find here through God’s Word.
I’m also committed to helping you take action on what matters to you.
In today’s culture we’ve got too many options that distract us from actually getting anything done. What we need is a better way to follow through on the important stuff we’re already trying to do.
That’s what Anchored Women is all about. A more realistic, grace-filled way to manage what’s already in front of us. I’m here to help you anchor your life in God’s truth, while taking action on the things that matter most in your life.
So… what’s changing?
Well, first let’s talk about what’s going to be the same! We’ll still be talking about organization, time management, and practical solutions for your home + family. We’ll still offer the planner and our membership, along with our current line of products (and more coming soon!). Your favorite resources aren’t going anywhere!
So while we’ll still be talking about managing our homes and families well, we’re going to do it with the perspective of WHY this matters, and HOW we can realistically and gracefully do it well. Not perfectly, but faithfully.
We want to pursue intentionality, not for productivity’s sake, but for the sake of eternity. We want to remember that the way we build our days, the way we spend our time – these things reveal what we treasure in our hearts. And sometimes, that revelation shows us that we need to switch things up.
Because while the world might value productivity at all costs, we value peace.
And true peace only comes from God – from living a life that’s confident in who He is, who you are, and what He’s called you to do.
So we’ll be talking more about our faith, how we live it out in today’s busy culture, and how, in the midst of chaos, we can find peace – peace in our homes, in our hearts, in our relationships, and in our schedules.
Woohoo! So what’s NEW?!
- Our site has a brand new look!!! Poke around and take a look at the front page, especially. It’s so pretty!!!!!
- This page is brand new and has our BEST collection of blog posts for each of our new categories – heart, home, relationships, and time.
- This page is a yet-untold story about the time I wanted to just quit everything…and how, instead, this website came about.

Kayse Pratt serves Christian women as a writer + designer, creating home + life management resources that help those women plan their days around what matters most. She’s created the most unique planner on the market, helped over 400 women create custom home management plans, and works with hundreds of women each month inside her membership, teaching them how to plan their days around what matters most. When she’s not designing printables or writing essays, you’ll find Kayse homeschooling her kids, reading a cheesy novel with a giant cup of tea in hand, or watching an old show from the 90’s with her husband, who is her very best friend.
I always worked & been a Sun. school teacher. After our 2nd son, my husband was disabled. 4 years ago, things really got hectic. My husband got cancer close to Brent’s 15 bday. Took 8 surgeries, 12 wks hyperbaric chamber treatments, & 10 wks radiation to cure him. On Brent’s 16 bday, I had a minor stroke. Few mos later, I was back at work, all okay. Lo & behold, near Brent’s 17 bday, I got breast cancer. Had surgery & radiation, all okay until 5th mo. of chemo my world chgd forever. I had a severe chemical allergic reaction to the chemo. Came close to dying twice & neuro testing showed I would never walk again to which God has chgd. I spent almost a year in & out of hospital, to which in & out was sometimes only hrs apart. So now, a yr later, I am walking with a walker – only falling a couple of times a wk now – starting to feel my hands & feet some – can write legibly (sorta) – don’t stutter quite as bad – so things are really looking up. I did have to quit working & go on disability & had to quit teaching Sunday School (my hardest, most painful endeavor yet) but now I can go to both a Sunday School class (with people my age) & church services. Oh, Brent turned 18, graduated high school, joined the Army & is currently in Fort Jackson, So. Carolina & soon to be transferred to Fort Lee, Virginia. So why do I want to be an Anchored Woman. The answer is very simple! I have a new life to adjust to being an Anchored Woman with God by my side.
I love the colors and clean lines of the new design.
I want to be more anchored in what truly matters versus going wherever I feel like.
I’m so excited to try out my Organized Life Planner. I’d love an SOS Calendar!
I can hardly wait for the new calendar. I am trying so hard to keep myself more organized and mostly finding and figuring out my time time for Him and my Devotions! This news has come at a perfect time in my life.
So excited for this change! Becoming anchored will help me be the calm in the middle of my family’s chaos!
Your new theme is spot-on for my life! To survive in the wild sea of life, we need to be anchored in the Truth.
I am just visiting your site for the first time and watched your video on your beautiful planner. I love the purpose of your website and your mission. I really need to get away from being so scattered and would love to get organized, stop being so forgetful, and prioritize my days! Thanks for helping a busy, scattered mom!
I want to be an anchored woman because I’m so tired of the never ending hustle and total lack of direction.
I love it! The name really gives you a vision of the goal of the blog! Awesome choice.
This sounds like exactly what I need. I want to be anchored and focused.
I’m a mom of three beautiful girls. I’m not good at organizing things but I need to be organized so as to keep everyone survive. I feel like I’m struggling every single day, wishing I could do better but failed every single time. But Kayse’s emails always encourage me to keep moving forward.
I want to be anchored in what matters and not just be busy!
Who wouldn’t want to be part of an amazing group of believers? Life is full of rocky times, like a tug boat being tossed around at sea. I want to be an anchored woman because I want my Home, Heart and Soul to have the security that when the storms come crashing in , My God is Faithful to be right there in the tug boat with me.. Regardless of how much my boat may rock, as long as I remain ANCHORED IN CHRIST, I will ALWAYS stay afloat!
Good Luck Ladies!!!
Congratulations on your new endeavor! I look forward to seeing what’s in store! Thank You!
What a gorgeous new site and a beautiful message. I’ve been striving to be more intentional since joining Intentional Moms and now I look forward to “trading scattered for steadfast.”
This is beautiful….I am so excited for the fresh take!!!! Well Done!
I love the new site design. Balance is very important in all areas of life and I want to make sure that I am anchored to all the right things so that I remain steady when the storms come and I can show my children what that looks like. Thank you for all of the great recourses you spend time making to help us!!
It is encouraging to know that the people of this site is using Biblical principles to help with organization. I also love the fact that this site also branches out on different parts of our lives and advises resources to use to build marriages using innovative ways. I want to be an Anchored woman because I know that my faith is based on Jesus Christ and I like how this site is based.
The new website is so beautiful.
Excited for your updated site! Congrats!
Yay!!! The new site is so beautiful <3 <3 <3 I can't wait to see the new planner! I love the focus on intentionality – It's something I've been meaning to work on and have struggled to actually do it – so I'm really looking forward to everything 😀
I have been using this planner for two years and absolutely love it! I can’t wait for the new launch!
Being anchored in Christ is so important and having reminders to keep making the main things the main things is helpful when life is busy. Thanks for what you do Kayse.
LOVE the knew direction you’re taking! Thanks, as always, for sharing so much with us.
I want to be an Anchored Woman to become closer to God and his plan for us all. I love that you are incorporating more in depth faith and bible study into your program. I am so excited to not only grow in God’s love, but also to have fun, plan, and do it all with a wonderful community of like minded women.
I’m so excited for the changes!! I love love love this: “So while we’ll still be talking about managing our homes and families well, we’re going to do it with the perspective of WHY this matters, and HOW we can realistically and gracefully do it well. Not perfectly, but faithfully.” Grace and faithfulness, buoyed (and anchored) in His grace, His goodness, His peace, in who He is.
Thank you!
love the change! I’m glad there is some stuff that will still be sticking around, but I am excited to see the changes as well. Congrats!
I want to be an anchored woman because without God, I’m am free falling! I need that anchor to keep me grounded and focused! I love the new name!!
Looking forward 5o the journey as my whole life I feel as if I am tossed instead of steadfast.
I am loving the new site! I am looking forward to learning about stealing more peaceful moments in the midst of the chaos of trying to get it all done.
Yay! I’m excited for this change, it reflects the heart of what you’ve been doing so much better. The Life Kit has been such a help to me over the past year, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this new central theme weaves into it.
I look forward to being an Anchored Woman so I can spend my time and my heart on what is really important for me, my family, and my community. I struggle with distractions that keep me from being a centered, calm person.
I bought your planner last year and I love it. We had to move in and out of our home several times over the past year because of mold issues and I wasn’t able to make use of the planner like I wanted to. (We couldn’t take anything with us, so I left my lovely planner at home.) This year, as we try to finally get back into our home, I would love to make better use of my planner and the other anchored woman resources you are offering. Thankfully, our life is anchored in Christ, so no matter where we are living as a family, we are secure. However, our physical and daily lives have been quite topsy-turvy with moving in and our of our home, throwing away dumpsters worth of belongings, and dealing with major health issues and financial issues that come with all of this. I would love to see our lives more organized, settled, and peaceful in the coming year. I would love to win this give-away! Thank you for offering it!
I would love to be an anchored woman because I want to stop striving and focus on what truly matters.
The new site and vision are great!
OOOH! I want to be an Anchored Woman so that I can be the peace and calm to all those around me. I need to lead by example and the best example I can think of is the Bible. I’m so excited about focusing on WHY organization and getting things done is important and His timing in all things. Congratularions on the beautiful new look! Your heart shows !!!
I want to be an anchored woman, because I want to have God as the focus of my life.
I want to be an anchored woman because I am tired of being tossed to and fro by the waves of life.
To be more relaxed and focused on what really matters.
I LOVE this planner and would love to win next years!
Loving your new set up!
I love the new site and the new focus! I want to be an anchored woman because I’ve experienced enough of the alternative, drifting and afraid, to know that it’s not the life I desire. Firmly bound to God is the only way I want to live.
I love your new site Kayse as well as your heart and vision behind it!
Thanks for the opportunity to win the planner and membership – could use it so very much! 🙂
I’m so excited about the new look and focus!!! Love Love Love it!!!
Congratulations of your website update. Change is not always easy, but your process and development is spot on and I look forward to continuing to follow you.
I get stressed out soooo easily and I need constant reminders that God is the only one who can give me peace.
Love the new site, it’s beautiful. I want to be anchored because God wants me to be. I need His love, peace, and most of all grace. Thanks for all you do.
Enjoy reading your posts!
Congrats on the new look and name
Oh Kayse it’s sooo beautiful – your new look totally reflects the heart you communicate! Thanks for being so committed to pointing women to Jesus!
I love anchors! My toddler’s room is anchor-themed. And I love the concept of being anchored in God’s Word and His love!
A friend just recommended your site. I love it!
I love the new website and your message and ministry! I’m excited about the new planner coming as well! Congratulations! You’ve created an inspirational, faith-filled, beautiful place to be spiritually fed.
Beautiful, peaceful site.
I am so ready to let go of the hectic, overwhelming noise in my life and focus on what is most important!
Checking things out! Looks exciting!
This is so exciting! I love the Toolkit – unlike most of my other “planners” and things I always intend to use but don’t, my toolkit gets used more and more each month. Love having a resource to help ground me (anchor? :)) and give me something to slowly step into. Thanks for all your hard work!
I want to be anchored and not floating all over the place with no focus. That is getting me no where
I so agree that being busy isn’t what it’s all about! Love the new name and site!
I love the new name and need help with everything!
Kayse, I think this is fantastic! It’s so authentic and fresh. I’m actually more excited about this name because I feel like I can relate to it. Because I am far from organized and definitely don’t have it all together, BUT GOD. Being anchored in Him is the only way I can be the mama, wife, sister, friend, daughter I am today. Can’t wait to follow along on this new journey.
I am SO ready to trade in my scattered patterns for living anchored! And I love the new look and color scheme of your site!
I want to be an anchored woman so I can shepherd my family with more peace.
Congrats on the new look!
I want to be anchored in Jesus. Thanks for the encouragement.
I am so tired of drifting; I just want to be where I am supposed to be and provide a safe haven for my family.
Steadfast over scattered sounds like Heaven to me! I am looking forward to the new focus!
I love the new site-it is beautiful and great to filter everything through God’s Word. Thank you!
This is a breath of fresh air!
I love the new site and the updated focus. I want to be an anchored woman because everything else besides God’s word will lead me away from truth, not toward it.
I love the new focus. I can’t wait to see where this takes you and us as your subscribers.
I love the new name and meaning! The website is gorgeous too!
Excited for the changes! Living anchored to Jesus is definitely my life goal!
I have been apart of the toolkit since January and I love it. I don’t use it to the fullest but we’ve had lots of life changes this year and sometimes knowing you’re not the only one out their “working” on life and motherhood is great! I love that you stand up for what is right and making Jesus the center of it all! For He’s the reason any of us exist and our true purpose for living. Being Anchored simple mean my trust, identity and hope is in Him and I want to live my best life in Him! Thanks for all you do!!!
I love the idea of being more steadfast and secure in God and my daily life, so that Ican show Christ’s love to everyone I interact with.
I love the new focus! It resonates with me in the area of options versus action especially. Sometimes all I’d the is are still weighing in at stealing Joy from what I actually do, it I water my moments if victory looking for the millions of new things I think I should also do! God’s grace to us all!! Love your work, sister!!
Congrats on the change!!! I need to be an anchored woman because I am tired of blowing in the wind and being scattered every where and not giving my best to everything.
The site looks amazing and I am excited about starting this journey. There is so much going on in my world that I feel incredibly scattered and am ready to get back to a calm and more organized, productive life..
Love the new site and the relaunch…I like the Anchored theme, great way to be more intentional!
Congratulations! Very Exciting.
I totally love all the new changes! My favorite colors, “anchored” just happens to be the current theme of study in my church small group (tell me that’s not a sign!), becoming more intentional and stronger in my faith has been a personal goal for me this year (do I see another sign?) … besides all that this just feels right! Like this is where I belong! Thank you Kayse for being you and for sharing your heart and soul with the rest of the world!!!
SO excited to learn more about pursuing Christ as a continue to learn how to be a wife!
Connecting to the right Source is an essential truth I’m still learning…how often I forget to be Anchored in Christ! I’m excited for the new things happening here! ❤
I want to be an anchored woman also. I want to be depending on God and his grace more too. Excited for the transition.
Excited to see all the new changes! I love incorporating your posts into my life and can’t wait for more things!
I love the new name, the new look…everything about this relaunch! Congrats! ❤️
Beyond thrilled for you and this amazing shift! So excited to be part of the journey!
Congratulations, Kayse & Team. I am excited for the changes and expect to continue learning and growing.
I am excited for the new site! Seeking God in order to accomplish anything in my life is the crossroads I am currently at. Am I working to check of the to-do list and feel productive or am I working to add to the ministry He has given me all for His glory? I can’t wait to see what comes next!
This is exciting! I love the idea and everything looks great! I can’t wait to see everything that’s coming! Congratulations!
I’m so excited for the new changes. I want to be anchored in God and remember that everything that I do is for His glory and not mine.
I love the imagery of being “anchored” by our faith and our family and not unmoored in the chaos of life. Great job on the rebranding!
As a SAHM and wife to a husband who works insanely hard, I have realized how much my attitude and such drastically effects the rest of my household. I need to be an anchored woman for the sake of not only myself, but my family. I need to be a resting place for my husband when he’s home and I need to be teaching my kids these things so they don’t have the same struggles as they grow up.
Love the new name! I am ready to be more organized, have more time with my family and do what I do in my home with grace.
I can’t wait to see the new planner!
Love this! I think it’s so easy to get carried away with the things we need to do that we forget why we need to be doing them. I think it’s perfectly right to readjust and refocus and we should all do that every once in a while to make sure we are honoring God in our life! I am excited for your new endeavors!
I would like to be an “anchored woman” in order to be a good example to my son. For example, it is so ironic (and sad) when I hear myself very impatiently saying, “Be patient!” to him. I do not want him to grow up with a stressed and harried momma and to think that is a normal way for a Christian to live.
This is absolutely beautiful. I love love love the new direction. Because everything that you’re saying is SO TRUE! I pray evernight to help me stay “anchored” in him throughout my day.
So, why do I want to be an anchored women? Wow, well, you should see my house right now: clothes everywhere, I can’t see my counters, legos and crumbled up cheese it’s, my kids are never dressed and my kids on screens way to much. You should hear my frustration with a lack of plan. Living with no structure and depressed about it. Not only
So I know my life is in chaos right now but I know it is not God honoring. I feel like I can’t get any control and it makes me want to give up. I have a hard time with consistency because I put all this work into be planned out then something goes haywire and all that work feels in vain. I am excited to see my work pay off
I think this is a great change.
I absolutely adore the new look! I love focusing on the daily habits through eternal eyes. That is what makes all of the crazy matter!
I love the new focus you’ve developed for your site. The one that resonates most with me is less options more action. I’m a perfectionist who gets overwhelmed by all the things to do and all the ways to do them. God bless in this new shift Kayse!
It’s like you have been reading my mind!! Oh wait….. that’s God giving inspiring, talented women like you a whisper of what tired, overbooked, too busy women like me need!!! Can’t wait!
Thanks for a chance. Excited for the new website
I love the new name and look! I’m excited to continue following you!
I love the new name and am super excited for the concept. ESP the why of what we are doing.
So excited for the new site!
Excited about all that’s coming and to be a part of the community!
Love the reason for the transition! Happy Launch & Congrats!
Love your new concept! I feel the exact same way.
I’m so excited for your new site and am looking forward to learning and growing through fellowship with everyone.
Such a great name!! I am so excited about these changes!
I’m so excited about this! Great work on the new site, Kayse!
The new site is gorgeous, Kayse! I can’t wait to explore it all more fully. I love all your resources and use them to help stay focused on what really matters. Staying anchored in Christ is my goal in life and, to be transparent, it takes a lot of intentionality to prevent life’s craziness from dragging that anchor away… it’s not a set it and forget it kind of thing. Thank you for creating a community and resources geared toward helping Christian women keep our anchor in place. <3
I love the name change and the meaning behind. Would love to be more anchored!
I love the new look and all the thought that went into re-branding. I am always striving for content and products that draw my focus back to god. thank you for helping us navigate this crazy life while always keeping our hearts and eyes focused on God.
So exciting! Thanks for working so hard to bring hope and truth to so many women.
What a wonderful change-up! I have always looked to your blog for encouragement and I believe the changes you are making fit right in with my goals as a wife, mom and homemaker. I want my life to be anchored in Christ. Thanks for all you do! I’d love to win the membership to the tool kit. I think it will help me focus my thoughts and energies.
Congratulations! I was so excited when I heard your knew name – it is PERFECT for where my heart and desires are focused.
The relaunch is lovely! And ‘anchored’ is just perfect! I recently went through a period where the only word I could come up with to describe how I was feeling was ‘unmoored’. How fitting!
Thanks for offering the giveaway!
I have been “playing” and “dreaming” of becoming Intentional and Anchored for over a year, when my husband became the Pastor of a church in Northern Michigan and we moved 8 hours away from our family. It took me a few months to get your planner when I found it. I still haven’t implemented and began a full time job in January. With 2 young kids, a full time job, and a being a Pastor’s wife, I NEED to find organization, but what is most important is being Anchored in Christ! I am excited about the relaunch and focusing on Christ about ALL!
The relaunch is beautiful! Anchored is such a fantastic goal! I’ve recently come out of a period of life where the only word I could think of to describe how I felt was unmoored. How fitting!!!
I’ve loved your content over the years and hope to continue to take away wisdom from this new site. Thanks!!
So exciting!! I love the new look.
LOVE this site and so happy I’ve found your blog! Am so refreshed to find material that combines faith + productivity and organization! My heart tells me you are just what I’ve Been searching for!
Congrats on the relaunch! I hope to win and join your community to help give me focus!
So excited about the new name and and focus!
