Welcome
👋 Hey there, I’m Michelle
Welcome to Chaotic but Caffeinated — the blog for moms who are trying their best, holding it together with a planner in one hand and a half-drunk coffee in the other.
(And if your coffee’s been microwaved twice already today… you’re in the right place.)
☕ A Little About Me
I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for the past 7(ish) years, a former admin assistant, US Navy veteran and someone who finds peace in a good to-do list — even if the kids immediately turn it into an art project.
I have a degree in education and business, which basically means I love organizing things I can’t control (hello, 4 children). After 14 years of mom life, I decided to stop pretending I’d ever be that Pinterest-perfect mom — and instead, share how I survive the chaos without losing my mind (most days).
This blog was born somewhere between school drop off, extracurriculars and meltdowns, as a space to be honest, laugh at the mess, and build routines that work in real life — not just on paper.
✅ What You’ll Find Here
Chaotic but Caffeinated is your judgment-free zone for:
- Realistic routines that actually work for moms
- Printable planners and tools to survive the madness
- Honest talk about the mental load, burnout, and motherhood identity crisis
- The occasional rant about laundry, school forms, or trying to pee alone
Basically: If you’re craving some structure but still need space to be human, I got you.
📍This Isn’t a Place for…
🚫 Perfect moms.
🚫 42-step morning routines.
🚫 Shiny Instagram houses with no socks on the floor.
We’re here for the chaos, the caffeine, and the trying anyway.
