Meet AJ
When I first started this blog, I thought, “Yup… my life could be a book.” But not the kind of Oprah recommends- more like a sitcom that accidentally turned into a drama, sprinkled with a few bad decision, good intentions and WAY too much caffeine.
Not the kind of polished story with the “happily-ever-after” more like the kind where you’re rooting for the character even when she’s eating cookie dough for dinner.
Either way — you can’t make this crap up.
I’m AJ. Single mom to more kids than anyone can ever imagine (and no I didn’t birth them all). I juggle chaos, drop the balls and somehow show up – most of the time late. I’m also known as the woman Googling “is this normal” at 2 a.m..
I’ve got a sense of humor that keeps me sane, and a coffee cup (sometimes not filled with coffee) that mysteriously empties itself. OFTEN.
This isn’t the sugar-coated, highlight reel version of life. This is where the messy stuff lives. The midnight breakdowns, the wins that no one sees, the coffee-fueled resilience, and yes — the moments that make you say,
“Did that seriously just happen?”
You won’t find Pinterest- perfect here. But you will find
Truth. Laughter. and
Maybe. Just maybe healing… and knowing you’re not alone.
This space is for the beautifully chaotic souls who are tired of pretending everything’s fine. The ones trying to just hold it all together while falling apart. Who want to laugh a little, cry when they need to.
I don’t have all the answers, but I do have stories that will make you feel less alone. And maybe a few one-liners that’ll make you spit out your drink. So whether you’re here for solidarity, sarcasm, or soul work — welcome.
Grab your coffee, (or wine /beer/or ?) get comfy, and stay awhile.
This is your space too.
No filters. No fluff. Just beautifully messy real life- one moment at a time.
