Welcome to the Chaos (But Make It Organized)
Real Life. Real Hacks. Real Connection.
Thanks for stopping by—whether you landed here on purpose or just fell into an internet rabbit hole while avoiding your to-do list (we see you), we’re so glad you're here.
This space was born out of life’s beautiful mess: a nurse who’s spent years caring for others, a mom figuring it out one day (and coffee) at a time, and someone who realized she needed a creative outlet beyond grocery lists and work emails.
I became a mom young-ish, which meant growing up a little quicker—but let’s be honest, none of us really feel grown anyway. Somewhere between raising my son, working full-time, and Googling “how to fix a garbage disposal” at 11 p.m., I realized I wanted something just for me. A space to connect, share, laugh, and offer the tips and life hacks that help make the chaos feel a little more manageable.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
-
Weekly “What’s In My Bag” features (from travel to mom life, nurse gear, teacher totes—you name it)
-
Travel hacks + brutally honest reviews
-
Checklists to finally tackle that project you've been “getting to” for months
-
Book recs & reviews (the good, the skip, and the binge-worthy)
-
What we’re watching on Hulu, Netflix, and if we’re actually still paying for all those subscriptions
-
Time, money, and sanity-saving hacks
-
Budget finds, must-have dupes & deal of the week
-
Simple recipes that won’t make you curse halfway through
-
A space to connect, recharge, and be real—with humor, heart, and a sprinkle of sarcasm
This is your place to reset. Refill your cup. Laugh a little louder. And maybe even find something that makes life smoother—even just for today.
We’d love to hear from you—sign up for emails, drop us a line, or share what you’re carrying (in your bag or in life). You’re not alone, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to be welcome here.
Let’s hack life—together.
