Why Overscheduling is Hard for Busy Families | Magnolia & Sage

Hi, I’m Allison Curtis, founder of Magnolia & Sage Concierge in Northwest Arkansas. As a mom of three and a family concierge, I know firsthand how overwhelming life can feel when the family calendar is full.

Between school, homework, sports, birthday parties, and endless errands, elementary school families are often running from one thing to the next. Overscheduling takes a toll on everyone:

• Kids need downtime to play and reset

• Parents carry the mental load of keeping everything organized

• Stress steals joy from family time and daily routines

Why Asking for Help Matters

I started Magnolia & Sage because I lived this life. As a single mom juggling work, school, and kids, I always wished I had someone to step in and help manage the details.

Now, I offer that support to busy Northwest Arkansas families through:

• Errand running & grocery pickup

• Calendar and appointment management

• Childcare support and transportation

• Household organization & weekly task help

Even a few hours of help each week can give your family room to breathe.

Take Back Your Time

If your family feels stretched thin, outsourcing a few tasks can make life lighter and more enjoyable.
