Welcome to Functioning-Ish
Who is the Functioning-ish
Hi, I’m Bridgett — a creative soul stuck in an accountant’s body. I run on planners, stickers, caffeine, race-truck weekends, and the belief that one day I might finally get my life together. (Today is not that day.)
Functioning-Ish started as a cozy-chaotic corner of the internet, a place where creativity meets real life — with pets, kids, deadlines, crafts, spreadsheets, impulse purchases, and a whole lot of trial-and-error all happening at once. Here, we celebrate being “mostly” put together and embrace the magic in the mess.
What is Functioning-ish
Functioning-ish is honestly the only accurate way to describe my life.
Not fully put together, not totally falling apart — just mostly functioning with a sprinkle of chaos and a lot of humor.
This webiste is for real people with real lives:
people who want to be organized but also lose their planner under a pile of stickers,
people who set a budget and then immediately buy something “because it was on sale,”
people who love being creative but don’t always have the time (or the energy… or the patience).
Functioning-ish is a space —
a space to relax, to laugh, to breathe,
to feel inspired,
to enjoy cozy moments,
to explore creative hobbies,
and to rediscover the things you genuinely love.
It’s where practical meets pretty,
where creativity meets chaos,
and where we all just do our best… and call it good enough.
What's Coming
Functioning-Ish is just getting started, and there’s so much more coming as this little corner grows with me.
Soon, you’ll see:
✨ The Creative Outlet Shop
A curated collection of handmade crafts — resin bookmarks, dried-herb wall hangings, seasonal décor, planner accessories, clay earrings, and whatever else my late-night creativity produces.
✨ Floof & Friends
Pet shenanigans, rescue stories, and behind-the-scenes chaos from the fluffiest members of the family.
✨ Planner & Productivity Content
Spreads, setups, planning routines, frankenplanner ideas, and real-life “I’m trying my best” organization.
✨ Budgeting & Spreadsheets
Tools, templates, and honest money strategies — because the accountant side of me refuses to stay quiet.
✨ Family + Lifestyle Moments
Race-truck weekends, parenting a teen, cozy home life, and the everyday moments in between.
✨ Fitness Antics & Nutrition Setbacks
My perfectly imperfect wellness journey — the workouts I try, the ones I quit, the healthy meals I make, and the snacks I absolutely shouldn’t have eaten (but did anyway). A real, relatable approach to trying again… and again.
✨ CPA & Grad School Reality
Study sessions, study meltdowns, and the behind-scenes truth of chasing a huge goal while juggling everything else.
✨ StreetSmart Cats (TNR Project)
Updates, rescues, and progress toward creating a small-scale, local trap-neuter-return initiative.
Functioning-Ish is becoming a home for everything I’m creating, learning, laughing at, and sharing — and you’re here at the very beginning.
