Meet Amy

Hi, I’m Amy Payne—a wife of 31 years, mom of four (from grown-and-gone to teen and tween), homeschooler, caregiver, and accidental dog mom.

For most of my adult life, I felt like I was living in constant catch-up mode always juggling paper piles, family schedules, volunteer work, and a million unfinished to-dos. I used to believe I was just “bad at keeping it all together.” But what I really needed were systems that worked for me—not against me.

I’m a self-proclaimed “former hot mess express” who found peace and clarity through practical, grace-filled routines. And now, through Grace + Order, I help overwhelmed women create calm in the middle of real, messy, beautiful life.

Whether it’s taming paper clutter, building a household binder, or simply figuring out what’s for dinner, my mission is to help you organize what matters without the pressure to be perfect. Because you’re not behind. You’re beginning again.

Let’s simplify the chaos together with grace and a plan.
