About Me...

Welcome to Creative Chaos Mom! I am a happy homemaker married to my amazingly cool husband, Jason, and mom to three crazy rambunctious little boys (4 and under). I often say that I gave birth to wild monkeys who sometimes act like dinosaurs! My life is LOUD! It's busy and exhausting, but it's also a lot of fun!

My passion for creativity started when I was a little girl. I remember watching in amazement as my mom would make beautiful birthday and shower cakes, put together floral arrangements and whip up fabulous meals for the many people who passed through the doors of our warm and welcoming home. I come from a home with four kids, so our lives were busy, but my mom has always had a hospitable way about her. My creative side developed at a young age by watching this talented woman, and it has blossomed ever since.

If I were to describe myself, it would go something like this...

Think June Cleaver, sprinkled with chaos, a slight perfectionist and habitual procrastinator, with a wardrobe selection ranging from comfy yoga pants and tank tops to dolled up dresses and stilettos (all of which I wear in public depending on the occasion), happy-go-lucky and optimistic, extrovert with a closet introvert side, the mom who might take my child to preschool in my sweats and ponytail, and yet be carrying perfectly beautiful cookies and confections for the party they're having that day, bargain shopper extraordinaire, lover of "real" people, a slight disaster at times who for the most part has my act together and miraculously gets my daily duties done (by the grace of God) along with many extras that I throw on myself and volunteer for. In short, I'm your everyday mom trying to do the best with what I've got to work with! Thus, you have Creative Chaos.

I love all things creative, so that is mostly what this blog is all about. Baking, cooking, photography, cake/party designs, crafts, writing and home decor are just a few things you'll find here. I will also try to keep you up to date on info that may help you as a homemaker, wife and mom. There is so much great information out there, and I hope to pass it along as I come across interesting things that may be helpful for you. Lastly, this is my voice...the voice of a real mom with real life issues who sometimes just needs to speak her mind. Thanks for stopping by my blog, and let the creative chaos begin!
