Hi there, and welcome! I'm Carol - A mama of five (and one on the way), wife to the most amazing hardworking blue-collar man who's a retired USCG veteran, and a lover of coffee, cozy kitchens, family time, adventures and the everyday moments that make life oh so beautiful.
Life around here is a little messy- the mornings often start at 5am with a cold cup of coffee, fixing school/work lunches, a whirlwind of little feet walking through the house getting ready for school, girls arguing over who's been in front of the mirror the longest, crumbs on the counter, and laundry that never ends. We're raising kids, tending chickens, a dog, and just learning to find joy and contentment in the chaos. And somewhere in the middle of it all, I realized I wanted to create a space where other mamas could find encouragement, inspiration, and overall, just a reminder that the life you create with your spouse and children doesn't always have to be perfect to be wonderful and amazing.
This blog is my little corner of the internet to share my motherhood stories, battles, tips, faith reflections, simple recipes for busy mamas, homemaking tips, and everything in between. It's for the mamas trying their best every day to be better than they were yesterday, celebrating the wins, surviving the mess, and learning that contentment really can be found right where we are - crumbs, coffee and all.
So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, grab a cozy seat, and come along as we navigate the beautiful, messy, tears, and grace-filled journey of motherhood together.
Forever grateful and blessed for this beautiful chaos God blessed me with.
