About Me

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.

Between the Chaos is exactly what it sounds like – real life, lived in the messy in-between. The big dogs who won’t stop shedding on the sofa I just cleaned. The house project that’s been “almost finished” for three months. The school run, the washing pile, the trying-to-remember-what-day-it-is of it all.

I write about raising kids in an economy that doesn’t make it easy, what it’s actually like living with two big, goofy, loveable, chaotic dogs, the home projects that never quite go to plan, marriage and family life with all its unglamorous edges while navigating ADHD in the middle of it all, and the cleaning routines I actually stick to (most weeks, anyway).

You don’t need to have kids, or a dog or two, or a husband, or a house full of half-finished DIY to feel at home here. If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it together with one hand while everything else happens around you – that’s the club. That’s who this is for.

I’m not here to pretend I’ve got it all figured out, because I don’t. I’m here to be honest about what this stage of life actually looks like, share what’s genuinely worked for me, and hopefully make you feel a little less alone in your own version of the chaos.

Thanks for stopping by – pull up a chair, the kettle’s on.
