Welcome to My Little World of Chaos and Caffeine
Hi there! I’m Joanne, and I understand what you’re going through. I’m that parent—the exhausted mom who’s always navigating the day with just a half cup of cold coffee, a sprinkle of dry shampoo, and a hopeful wish that today might finally be the day my toddler takes a nap longer than 15 minutes. Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where we embrace both exhaustion and humor, reminding ourselves that each day is another episode of this wonderfully chaotic reality we share.
Who Am I?
I’m a parent. A very tired, but incredibly proud parent. My toddler is a pint-sized whirlwind of energy, curiosity, and—let’s be honest—torment. From 5 a.m. wake-ups (why, child?) to epic meltdowns over the wrong color dress or not that socks but these ones, I’m living in the trenches of toddlerhood. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world, even when I am tired of being a mom.
When I’m not chasing after a tiny tornado or trying to salvage my sanity, I’m a writer, a problem-solver, and an advocate for parents who are just trying to keep it all together. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is this normal?!” or “Am I the only one who feels this way?”, you’re not alone. I’m right there with you, and this blog is my way of connecting with all the parents out there navigating the glorious, exhausting adventure of raising little humans.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is a mix of humor, honesty, and the occasional existential crisis, all wrapped up in a toddler-sized blanket fort. You’ll read about:
- The absurd realities of parenting a toddler (spoiler: nothing is sacred, not even the toilet).
- My best (and most questionable) parenting hacks for those sleepless nights and tantrum-filled days.
- Reflections on the joy and chaos of parenthood—because despite the challenges, there are moments that make it all worth it.
- Parent hacks, product reviews, and maybe even a few recipes that are actually doable when your child insists on throwing their food on the floor. (But who’s counting?)
Whether you’re here for some comic relief or to feel understood in your own parenting journey, I hope this space becomes one where we can laugh, vent, and maybe even learn something new together.
A Little Note for You, Exhausted Mom!
If you’re tired, overwhelmed, and wondering if there’s any light at the end of the toddler tunnel, I see you. You’re doing amazing—even on the days when you feel like you’re barely hanging on. I’m here to remind you that it’s okay to not have it all figured out. So, grab a cup of whatever keeps you sane (coffee, wine, maybe both?), and let’s get through this together.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find something here that makes you smile, nod along in solidarity, or at least feel like you’re not alone in this wild ride.

Parenting: It’s exhausting, it’s unpredictable, but it’s also the best thing you’ll ever do.
