Hi, I am Jenn, a city-dwelling mom of six small chaos agents who somehow agreed to let me homeschool them (and by “agreed,” I mean they didn’t have a choice).
Wife to my partner-in-crime, a retired Army vet who traded his camo for leather and is now living his best life as a big, burly biker with a soft spot for tiny animals and kids who need snacks.
By day, I’m the resident Chaos Coordinator in a household where silence is suspicious. By night, I’m a bookworm who burns the midnight oil reading just about anything with a parchment for dark romance and spicy fantasy. Somewhere in between, I cook every meal from scratch because I firmly believe food made with love and sarcasm just tastes better.
I stumble through life in the city—dodging scooters, people-watching, and politely explaining to strangers why my toddler is eating a piece of chalk like it’s a gourmet delicacy. I can often be found chasing down escaped dogs or chickens that have decided to roam the neighborhood.
The color black is my signature shade, both in my wardrobe and my heart. My sense of humor? Darker than my eyeliner, thanks to a childhood so wild, even Lifetime would say, “This is too much.” (Spoiler: My mom was a crack whore, the grandma who raised me was an alcoholic, and the man that took me in as his own set the bar a bit too high to reach sometimes.)
I have been blogging for years choosing to share to share recipes, homeschool hacks, life survival tips, and unsolicited opinions. If you’re into a slightly chaotic, brutally honest mom life with a pinch of magic, grab your coffee and hang out here with me. Just watch out for the glitter—it’s everywhere.
