Welcome to My Chaos – A Blog for Moms, Wives, and Educators
Hi there! I’m a passionate mom of two amazing kids and an educator with over 11 years of experience teaching in elementary and middle schools. While I absolutely love my life, it can sometimes feel a little too chaotic for my liking. This blog is my space to share stories, thoughts, and tips on navigating the challenges of motherhood, marriage, and a career—all while keeping my sanity intact.
About Me
I’ve been married for 11 wonderful years to my hardworking husband, Brad (his middle name is Bradley, and honestly, I don’t blame him for choosing it). Fun fact: Brad was born in 1978, while I was born in 1989. That 11-year age gap brings its own set of challenges and quirks—different life experiences, slightly different generational views, and endless opportunities for learning from each other.
You’ll discover more about us as you read along.
Meet My Kids
I have two amazing children who keep me on my toes:
- Cooper (10 years old)
Cooper is my mini-me. He’s outgoing, athletic, and kind-hearted, with a fantastic sense of humor. Like me, he’s a bit of a jokester, but struggles with occasional anxiety and worries about what others think of him. - Olivia (5 years old)
Olivia is my fearless firecracker! As the second child, she’s full of personality—adventurous, independent, and unapologetically bossy. Her boldness inspires me to embrace my own inner strength, and I absolutely adore her honesty.
Together, they bring so much joy (and a little chaos) to our home.
Why I Started This Blog
In the fall of 2024, I decided to launch this blog to share my journey as a wife, mom, and full-time teacher balancing a busy, rewarding, and sometimes overwhelming life. Whether it’s navigating family schedules, surviving stressful school weeks, or finding time for self-care, this space is where I’ll share tips, stories, and lessons learned along the way.
What You Can Expect
Life in our family is anything but boring:
- Stressful? Oh, yes.
- Chaotic? Definitely.
- Confusing? Always.
- Rewarding? Without a doubt.
Through the ups and downs, I’ve learned how to find joy and meaning in the chaos. My hope is that you’ll find connection, comfort, and maybe even a few laughs as you join me on this journey.
Welcome to my world—a little chaotic, a little messy, but filled with love, laughter, and growth. Let’s tackle this adventure together!
