Your Weekly Dose of Chaos & Culinary Genius
Serving Up Sass, Snacks, and Slightly Unhinged Wisdom
Hey there,
Welcome to your one-stop shop, where you get to pick and choose between my posts, all fueled by a solid mix of creativity, caffeine, and—let’s be real—a little bit of chaos.
Gone are the days of me hoarding ideas like a dragon clutching treasure (trust me, I had a whole vault going). Instead, you get all the goods right here, no fluff, just the stuff that’ll make you laugh, think, and maybe even question my sanity. But hey, that’s part of the charm, right?
If you stumbled upon this and haven’t smashed that subscribe button yet, what are you waiting for? It’s basically a ticket to weekly doses of chaos and creativity—trust me, you don’t want to miss out.
So grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment) and dive into this chaos-filled goodness. You might just find a recipe that will make you feel like a gourmet chef, or a life update that’ll have you nodding in solidarity like, “Yep, been there.”
Enjoy the ride.

What’s New With Me:
The latest from my world— I met my younger self for coffee this morning.
She was early and grabbed a table for us already.
I was right on time.
She ordered a chai tea latte and a sweet treat.
I ordered a medium roast with a splash of heavy cream.
She told me how she was losing her drive and determination to show the world they were wrong.
I told her that it would all come together and to not give up.
She told me she didn’t feel good enough and misunderstood.
I told her she would find her tribe.
She asked me if I was happy.
I told her I was, but it wasn't easy and what is coming will show us how to be happy with ourselves.
It was a beautiful morning with her.
If you met your younger self, what would you talk about?
What About the Podcast?
Crunchy Culture is hitting pause on the podcast—for now. 🎙️
While podcasting was fun, it wasn’t fueling me in the way I had hoped. Writing is where my heart is, and I’ve decided to focus on that passion. But if you prefer listening over reading, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! Now, when you open an article you’d love to hear, simply look to the upper right corner and hit the play button. The article will be read aloud to you!
So, while the podcast is taking a break, I’m still bringing content to you in an audible way. Stay tuned for more! ✨
Either way, you know I’ll keep things spicy. Stay tuned, stay nourished, and stay fabulous.
Xoxo
If you love my snarky takes on parenting chaos, wellness weirdness, and real-life nonsense, consider becoming a paid subscriber! But if that's not in the cards, the next best way to support my work? Share this article with your people—because laughter (and brutal honesty) is best served family-style.
If you're not a paid subscriber yet, it's time to reconsider! With over 60 exclusive articles behind my paywall, you'll get even more of the content you love.

Love my snarky takes on marriage, parenting, and the chaos of raising an ADHD-fueled family—while still trying to live that crunchy dream, but do not want to upgrade to paid? Help keep the laughs rolling, the sourdough rising, and the wellness wisdom flowing. Toss a few bucks my way—because organic sarcasm and real talk deserve a little funding. 😉
Love the coffee with your younger self. It's a very powerful tool to use!
