Hi there! I’m Kristi—a 30-year-old wife, full-time CNA, and proud mom of five amazing (and sometimes wild) kids. Life around here is anything but calm. Two of my children have complex medical issues, and I’m no stranger to health challenges myself. So, when I say things get hectic, I really mean it!
Being a CNA that works nightshift keeps me busy on its own, but coming home to a bustling house full of little personalities, each with their own needs, is a whole new level of challenge. Throw in my own medical ups and downs, and it’s safe to say that life feels like one long balancing act.
I started this blog as a way to share the raw and real moments of juggling a career, a large family, and my own health journey. Some days I feel like I’m thriving, and other days, it’s all about survival. Whether you’re a fellow mom, caregiver, or just someone curious about what it’s like to manage this kind of beautiful chaos, I hope you’ll find something relatable here.
Through all the craziness, I’ve learned to find joy in the small moments, laugh through the tough times, and lean on the people around me for support. This blog is my way of connecting with others who are going through similar struggles—or anyone who needs a little encouragement on their own journey.
Thank you for stopping by and joining me on this wild ride. Here’s to embracing the chaos, finding strength in every challenge, and sharing the real-life stories that make this journey uniquely ours.
With love,
Kristi
