The Mom Behind the Mayhem

Hi, I’m Bethany—a mom navigating a lively household where glitter meets grocery lists and every day is a balancing act of love, laughter, and logistics.

I live on the coast of sunny North Carolina with my husband, our creative daughter, and a black lab who thinks he runs the house (he’s not wrong).

When I’m not sneaking in a few pages of a good book, you’ll find me soaking up family time, chasing the dog to get my throw pillows back, or trying to convince my daughter that chores build character.
