Real Strategies for Real Parenting

Hi! I’m Kimberly.

It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Let’s be real: parenting is hard. Some days are filled with frustration and stress. It can be easy to focus on the negative stuff. It’s easy to think “Their family is perfect. What am I doing wrong?” It can be easy to get overwhelmed while trying to live up to some unrealistic expectations we have placed on ourselves. It can be quite easy to get discouraged.

But parenting is not all dark clouds and turbulence. It’s a beautiful chaos filled with many moments of joy, laughter and love.

My goal is to help other parents find joy and laughter in the chaos, frustration and turmoil that parenting brings, to share strategies I use to make parenting more peaceful (when possible) and to provide a community where we can experience this wonderful and crazy journey of parenthood together.

Most importantly, my goal with each and every post is to help people gain something – whether it be a skill, idea, or inspiration – that will help them grow and will make their lives just a little easier.

More About This Blog

Here at Chaos and Laughs, you’ll mostly find posts about the following topics:

  • Parenting
  • Family Lifestyle
  • Personal Finances
  • Spirituality

The goal is to help people and create a loving and open community. That means this is:

  • A Judgment-free place. Because “perfect parents” don’t exist. You’re not perfect. I’m (really) not perfect. Let’s just be kind to each other on this journey of ours.
  • A place for growth. I may not be perfect, but I do want to put in my best effort – not just in parenting, but in life as a whole. I’m always learning and growing. I know an awesome person like you is aiming for growth, too. Let’s grow together and make the most of our journeys.
  • An Authentic place.  Did I mention that parenting is hard? This a space for all the authentic, dirt-filled,  vomit-inducing moments (as well as the tear-jerking, heart-melting ones) that only other parents will understand. This is a place to take off the “Perfect Parent” suit, slip into your “I’m totally human” sweats. Here, we are real, honest and open – and totally not judging.
  • A place for love. You probably won’t find a date here, but with an attitude of love, all of the above is possible. Just be kind, be honest, and be forgiving to others, your kids, and yourself. Watch how peace and love just creep into your life. It’s truly a beautiful thing.
