HEY, I'M KAY
Blended family, two boys, a business, and a laundry chair that's seen things. I overthink all of it and then tell you what I figured out.
I also use and sell products I'd recommend to a friend โ and I'll tell you when the answer is don't buy anything.
NO PRESSURE, NO PITCH
Start wherever makes sense. If the answer is "none of these right now," that's a real answer.

Hair, skin, makeup. What's in my bathroom, why I picked it, and what it actually did.
See what I use

Hair, skin, makeup โ tell me what you're dealing with and I'll point you somewhere. Free, and I'll say so if the answer is nothing.
Tell me what's going on

No pitch. I'll tell you what it's really like, including the parts nobody posts.
Ask me anything
WHO'S WRITING THIS
I'm the person who can't stop analyzing it โ my kids, my reactions, the thing I said that I'm still thinking about three days later.
Some of what I share is what actually helped. A lot of it is me catching myself. The epiphanies usually show up after the fact, which is annoying and also the point.
Not perfect. Not a disaster. Somewhere in the honest middle, thinking about it too hard.

WHAT I WRITE ABOUT
Telling them what not to do makes them picture doing it. Say the thing you want instead.
A high and a low from everyone. It's the only reason I know what's going on in their lives.
Kids don't need a parent who never blows up. They need one who comes back.
A chore and routine app I built for my own kids, because the sticker chart wasn't working and nothing I downloaded fit how our house actually runs.
Kids see what's theirs. Parents see what got done. Nobody has to nag.
It runs in my house every day right now. Public release is coming โ join the email list below and you'll know the day it's out.
THE HONEST SHELF
Some of these photos are mine, some are Monat's official ones โ but every product here is one I actually use. And no, you don't need all of it. Nobody does.
One email a week โ whatever I couldn't stop turning over, and what I did about it. It isn't running yet. Put your name down and you'll get the first one.
No emails until it actually starts. I'd rather you forget you signed up than get spam from me.
