Living Life in Full Chaos
Life in my house is anything but ordinary. With four cats, two dogs, and two bunnies roaming freely, plus a 5-year-old in Senior Kindergarten, I’ve learned that chaos can be both a challenge and a source of joy. Between crafting, blogging, and running a small business, my days are full of laughter, creativity, and messy moments that make life meaningful.
In this post, I share fun facts about who I am—my love for community, my quirky neurodivergent brain, my quiet pagan spirituality, and my obsession with small joys like baking and coffee-fueled mornings. Motherhood has amplified every part of me: my creativity, my patience, and my ability to embrace imperfection. I also dive into the ways I find magic in chaos, stay grounded in intentional living, and connect with others through my blogs and collectives.
If you’ve ever felt like life is messy, loud, and unpredictable, this post is for you. It’s a peek behind the scenes at my world and a reminder that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be incredible.
2026: My Dreams, My Goals
So, What’s the Plan? Nature’s time of rest and hibernation is slowly drifting to a close, and since I know for most people, it’s already over, and has been since January 1st. Let’s talk about growth. We aren’t going to do too much of this just yet. I’m not there yet, but in the spirit […]
Counting Down
18 Days, almost in the final stretch. Between the weather, the busses and the flu that’s going around, my girl has spent more of the last three weeks home with me than at school. I don’t really mind it, but it’s damn funny how it timed out, though, opening a store, developing stock and product, […]

Infertility
My Experience I never expected getting pregnant to be difficult. Like many people, I assumed it would happen in its own time—maybe not right away, but eventually. When month after month passed with no positive test, I tried to stay calm and patient. I told myself this was normal. That my body just needed more […]
Learning to Can: Part One
There’s Something Quietly Sacred about Preserving Food Not the perfect rows of gleaming jars in a Pinterest photo, but the way your kitchen smells of steam and summer long after the garden has gone quiet. The way tiny hands help — or don’t — and how spill marks on the table become part of the […]
Living Spiritually As A Mom
What Pagan Parenting Means to Me Being a mom is a journey of immense love, joy, challenge, and growth. But for me, as a Pagan, motherhood is not just about raising children—it’s about guiding my kids in a way that honours the divine, celebrates the rhythms of the Earth, and connects them to the […]
