Hey there! I’m Christy — stay-at-home mama, emotional support snack dealer, chaos coordinator, and aspiring crafty genius with at least three half-finished projects in my “I’ll get to it later” pile.

I’m the proud (and exhausted) mom of two wild, wonderful little girls:
💜 Aubree – My bold, beautiful 4-year-old butterfly. She’s autistic and nonverbal, but let me tell you — this girl communicates. Through gestures, expressions, sounds, and pure determination, she makes sure her message gets across. She’s brilliant, curious, and has a diaper-shredding record I don’t think anyone can beat.
💗 Piper – My snuggly, silly 2-year-old with global developmental delays who’s basically a living cuddle bug with a strong side of feral toddler energy.

Life right now? It’s a whirlwind of therapy appointments, diaper shreds (seriously, Aubree’s diaper demolition skills are unmatched), sleepless nights, and love so big it hurts. I’m currently in the middle of a major life reset — navigating divorce, living with my parents, and trying to figure out who I am outside of “Mom.”

This blog is my place to breathe, vent, connect, create, and remind myself (and you!) that it’s okay to not have it all together. Some days I feel like a superhero in yoga pants. Other days, I cry in the bathroom while eating a cookie I didn’t want to share. Balance.

You’ll find all kinds of stuff here:

• ✂️ Crafty chaos — sewing, creative projects, and maybe some laser engraving once I figure that thing out
• 💬 Real mom talk — the good, the bad, and the unfiltered
• 🛠️ Survival tools — journal prompts, affirmation cards, and maybe a bad day emergency plan that involves snacks and screen time
• 💖 Honest storytelling — because if I’m going to lose my mind, I might as well write about it

So whether you’re a fellow special needs mama, a crafty mess like me, or just someone who needs to feel a little less alone — I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a blanket, grab a drink (Coke for me, I don’t do coffee, sorry!), and come hang out in the chaos with me.

We’re all just doing our best — and that’s enough.
