About me

Hi, I’m Kd — the mom behind Joyful Chaos.

I’m a working mom and default parent who’s trying (and often failing) to “do all the things.” I dabble in chicken keeping, gardening, and outdoor recreation.  Around here, peace and quiet are overrated anyway — so I share the tips, tricks, and real-life stories that make mom life a little easier (and hoepfully a lot more joyful).

Why I started this blog

Motherhood can feel heavy — the schedules, the mess, the mental load. I wanted a space to share what’s working for me, laugh about what isn’t, and connect with other moms who are doing their best in the chaos. To be honest, it is my little therapy corner.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning plates, living on coffee, or just trying to keep the kids alive while finding a sliver of “me time”… you’re in the right place.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Mom Hacks & Family Tips → real solutions for the daily juggle (because “Pinterest perfect” isn’t happening in this house).

  • Baby & Kid Gear Recommendations → the stuff I actually use and love (no fluff, just mom-tested favorites).

  • Home & Garden → from backyard chickens to veggie gardening, and the messy magic of homemaking.

  • Family Travel → how we say “yes” to adventure without losing our minds (or our luggage).

Let’s Connect

I’d love for you to stick around! You can:

  • Follow me on Pinterest for fresh ideas

  • Subscribe to my email list (coming soon)

  • Or just read a post, laugh, and know you’re not alone.

Thanks for being here — messy hair, laundry piles, and all. Let’s make this joyful chaos something we can actually enjoy.

love, Kd
