Introduction to the Chaos

Welcome to My Little Corner of the Internet

‘Sup homies!

I’m choosing to remain anonymous here, not out of fear, but for freedom. The freedom to speak my truth, share my story, and create a safe space for others to do the same. Writing has always been something I’ve loved deeply. Words have a way of untangling the thoughts we often can’t say out loud. Life got busy, and I let that part of me go quiet for a while… but now, I’m back and it feels good.

So, a little about me.

I’m a wife of 8 years, married to my annoying best friend (insert eye rolling emoji lol). We’re a dual military family,which brings its own kind of chaos and strength. I joined the Army right out of high school, and honestly, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It shaped who I am and opened a lot of doors for me and my family.

I’m also a mom to three beautiful kids. Two strong, sassy girls and a sweet, cuddly boy. They’re all equally crazy and annoying like their daddy. And as I write this, I’m 8 months pregnant with our fourth (and hopefully final) baby. Another boy! To say life is full would be an understatement.

I love my family. I love our life. But sometimes… it’s just a lot.

And I often find myself wanting to vent, cry, reflect, laugh. Hell, all of the above sometimes. I always end up holding back. Because people assume I’ve got it all together. Spoiler alert: I don’t… and it’s not even close. ButI’m okay with that.

That’s the heart of this blog. A space to just be. A place to share real thoughts, real feelings, and real-life moments that don’t always make it into the family group chat.

If you’ve ever felt the same, this space is for you too.

Leave a comment below or email me anonymously. I'll share your story (only if you want), and open it up for others to chime in. We all deserve to be heard. Maybe, together, we’ll find some comfort in knowing we’re not alone.

Thanks for being here. I’m so glad you came.
