Hi there! Welcome to my little slice of the internet—my very first blog post. Let me start with a real introduction because if you’re anything like me, you’ve got about five minutes before someone yells, “Mama!”
I’m Eli, a 35-year-old mama doing my best to keep it together while navigating the beautiful chaos of raising two energetic daughters. Riley, my spirited 5-year-old, is full of questions, dance moves, and glitter (so much glitter). Codie, my fearless 2-year-old, has a knack for finding trouble in the blink of an eye. Add in my full-time job, endless piles of laundry, and my attempts to eat healthy and squeeze in workouts—and let’s just say, life is real.
Sound familiar? If so, you’re in the right place.
This blog is for every mama who feels like she’s juggling a million spinning plates while trying to keep her sanity intact. It’s for mamas who have Googled “how to work out with kids climbing on you” or “quick dinners for when you’re already late.” It’s for the mamas who crave a sense of balance but embrace the chaos when it inevitably takes over.
I’ll be sharing honest, unfiltered stories from my life—what works, what doesn’t, and the moments that make it all worth it. Whether it’s meal prep hacks that save me from reaching for chicken nuggets (again), 10-minute workouts that keep me moving, or reviews of products that actually make mama life easier, my goal is to inspire and connect with other mamas who are doing their best every day.
So grab a coffee, or whatever’s in that sippy cup you accidentally grabbed, and let’s figure this out together. This isn’t about being the perfect mama—it’s about being real. Welcome to the chaos, friend. Let’s thrive in it.
