We help parents with young kids make home feel more manageable
Simple systems, routines, and resets that reduce the mental load and make life at home feel easier
We’re Jon & Jessica.
As parents of three, we know what it’s like to feel pulled in a million directions and still want home to feel calm and steady.
We started GenRef because we needed something realistic, not perfect. Simple routines that actually held up to real life, and a way to share the load without feeling like we were constantly behind.
Now we share what’s working in our home, so you can build a rhythm that fits yours.
Simple Systems. Real Routines.

We share the simple systems we use to manage home life with young kids, plus routines and small resets that make the mental load feel lighter. Practical, realistic, and actually doable.
