As a wife and mother of four kids, currently 11, 8, 6 and 2, I’ve often described my life as one of “chaotic bliss.” You know–crazy busy with work, kids activities, volunteer work, appointments, running a house and oh, yeah, laundry, laundry and more laundry– but really happy just the same.

So, if life is so chaotic, why add one more thing– this blog– to my to-do list? Lots of reasons, really, but probably the biggest one is the need to stop and reflect on all this craziness in order to take the time to truly enjoy it and realize how blessed I am.

What can you expect to read on My Chaotic Bliss? The topics will be varied as is my life. Obviously, I’ll write about my family– the things we do and say. I’ll probably share some tips I’ve learned to help make life a little less chaotic. I’m sure I’ll share birthday party ideas (I’ve been told I throw a pretty good kid’s party). I’ll likely express my opinions about parenting and other stuff.

I hope, in return, I’ll learn from the comments left by my readers and have a record to look back on and remember all the chaos and the bliss of raising my children.
