About
Hey There, I’m Mac.
Welcome to my Motherhood Journey.
š Hey there, Iām Mac!
From one mom to another, I know what itās like. The endless hustle of two growing kids, the magical chaos in our halls, and those tiny, golden pauses that make it all so worth it.
Some days I feel like Iām dancing on a tightrope. School drop-offs, snack time negotiations, bedtime squeezes, but tucked in between all that are moments of pure joy, like planning a crafty mess that has us both laughing, squeezing in an impromptu dance party while folding laundry, or seeing their faces light up over a new story.
I created this little corner of the internet to share our journey. The messy, magical, sometimes messy, again moments that shape motherhood. Here, youāll find my honest reflections and real-life stories: the victories (yes, I got the kids sleeping at 7.30 pm one day!), the messes, and everything in between. But more than that, you’ll find the things that help me through. The snack hacks that keep everyone smiling, the simple routines that bring calm, and the products I use and explore in real life.
Think of this space as our kitchen table conversation with the kind of fun, honest chatter youād have with a friend over coffee. I hope it feels warm, encouraging, and reassuring. Youāre not alone amidst the chaos. Weāre doing this together, one beautiful (and sometimes bumpy) day at a time.
Thanks for being here, Momma.
From one mom to another, Iām grateful you stopped by.
With all my messy love,
Mac š

Frequently Asked Questions š¤
Q: How do you keep sane while wrangling kids and chasing blog dreams?
1. Honestly? Itās still a work in progress. Somewhere between spilled milk and midnight brainstorming, I carve out tiny pockets of time, like stealing five minutes to proofread with a nap, time iced coffee in hand. Itās messy, but Iām moving forward, Mama.
2. How do you keep little routines from turning into a meltdown?
Routines are your best friend⦠and mine. But Iām also the chaotic overpromiser who said yes to ājust one more storyā and ended up singing lullabies at 10 PM. Balance comes with a side of patience (and coffee!).
3. Travel with kids: glamorous selfies or chaos and crumbs?
Itās more chaos AND crumbs š We get cute pics, but mostly itās Nutella chunks on my shirt, a chorus of āAre we there yet?ā, and that moment when everyone (including me) finally cracks a genuine smile.
4. What if my toddler loses their favorite toy on the road? Panic mode?
Totally relatable. New toddler trick: I pack two of everything and the Very Important Gruffalo plushie tucked away in my handbag āin case.ā Extra bag space? Totally worth the peace of mind.
