Welcome to Muddy Puddles and Sunshine - where Life Interrupted meets Life Rewritten; one messy, beautiful moment at a time.

I’m a full-time mom of 3, part-time waitress, chaos coordinator, snack fetcher, bedtime negotiator, and occasionally, a human napkin. Also, proudly married to my favorite -oldest- grown-up child (aka my husband) who still thinks my jokes are top tier comedy.

This blog was born out for Life’s Interruptions - infertility, surprise babies, heartbreak, healing, cancer survival, and the beautiful storm of Motherhood. I’ve walked through fire, tripped over Legos, and come out on the other side with a story to tell and a heart full of gratitude (and probably chocolate on me).

Here, we talk about the raw, the real, and the rising. We unpack the mess, celebrate the wins (even if it’s just drinking a hot coffee before it goes cold), and to remind each other that hope lives here.

So, grab your coffee (or your Margarita), ignore the laundry, and stay awhile. You’re not alone in this muddy, magical, slightly unhinged journey.
