Sitting down to write this while it’s all still fresh in my head. Tate’s birth was quick, intense, and so perfectly timed I couldn’t make it up even if I tried. Let’s start quickly by backing up. Tate is baby number three, and I
Welcome, I’m
Helping you improve your life with life
hacks, budgeting, simple DIYs, and
honest motherhood.
Connecticut Blogger and YouTuber
I’m Kallie Branciforte, the creator behind But First, Coffee. I’m a blogger, YouTuber, mom x3, wife, and usually in need of another cup of coffee.
A little more about me?
In 2016 I married my high school sweetheart and the blog husband here at BFC. He’s my best friend and #1 supporter. BFC wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for him.
In 2017 my husband and I paid off over $70k in debt and have since lived debt-free. So I love sharing affordable living content.
In 2018 I became a mom to Miles. My husband and I struggled through infertility and miscarriage to conceive, but it was worth it all 100x over to be a mama. So, I share a lot of motherhood content.
In 2021 we welcomed baby girl Finley to the family! Then in 2023 Tate joined the crew.
I’m a morning person. My body pretty much shuts down at 8:00 pm, so I’ve learned if I want to get things done, I need to wake up early for them.
I live in Connecticut. We’re currently a family of five living in 1,100 sq ft. We like small house living, however, we are adding a small addition soon (follow on Instagram for life updates like that).
I’m a big-time homebody. We spend the majority of our time at home so we love making it just how we want.
In 2020 I quit my job in an office to pursue being a YouTuber and blogger full-time and haven’t looked back. Alongside making content on my YouTube Channel about realistic organization, productivity, and saving money, I also have a whole library of printables and guides you can use!

Making Easter baskets is a parenting role I didn’t realize I’d love so much. I love the Easter basket, kinda like I love the Christmas stocking. Because it’s not about doing something big or elaborate but more about fun little gifts. I try to
I’ll be honest, sometimes I have a love-hate relationship with Amazon. That might be a little taboo to say as someone who creates a lot of Amazon content. I love sharing Amazon finds, and full disclosure, I’m an Amazon affiliate, which means I can
If I’ve learned anything about keeping and maintaining an organized home, it comes down to the adoption of daily habits over anything else. All the decluttering and fancy labeled bins and structures won’t really matter if you haven’t committed to maintaining them. Without daily
