We found each other!

Well my oh my! Here we are. I almost cant believe that I am writing this and that this site is a reality…. but you know what I always say… chase those dreams - BIG or small.

For years as I have poured my heart and soul out to the world about hot topics or being very open about the things that in life or motherhood are difficult to navigate, the comments always are “you should be a writer” to which I wanted to respond… “isnt that what I am doing?”. And now here we are… writing… on a blog… about all the things; life, love, kids, parenting, things that are hard to talk about, fashion, marriage…. all of it.

To be honest, I don’t know if I have an abundance of wisdom to share with you, but what I have realized is we need a space. A community that is raw and real. A place that we can talk about the hard things, poke fun at the things we do that sometimes would be deemed… let’s say… poor parenting choices, and provide lots of love to everyone for being exactly who they are.

I have waited for this community. I have prayed for it. I told my husband I was going to find all of you, but instead… you all found me and honestly, it is the most exciting thing to ever happen to me…. right in FRONT of my kids and husband. (kidding… sort of) .

Instagram and social media is full of really incredible people doing really incredible things, but if you are like me I often felt underrepresented or that my life didn’t look anything like theirs did, a little inadequate, and felt unworthy of the fashion picks…. and my budget surely didn’t match either. So Im ripping down the curtains here! I will continue to share my very real life with often unfortunate events that clearly look made up, my mom jokes, my struggles as a postpartum depression survivor, and I will work to create a community that makes room at the table, every day, good, bad, or ugly.

SO THIS IS IT! The first post and the official introduction of an extension of our new space, the landing page of all landing pages… Melissa in Chaos.

Listen, I changed my leggings and it changed my entire chaotic life (more on this later) so why not have my cake and eat it too and combine both the things I feel represent my life and journey?

Buckle up friends, we're about to do and talk about all the things.

xoxoxoxo, Melissa
