Organized Chaos

ABOUT ME: 
I am a mom to 5 busy kiddos and year by year life has become a little more chaotic. I love my role as a mother and am deeply blessed but shuffling everybody's schedules on a daily basis is not a simple task and some days are complete chaos. 

I am a perfectionist by nature. I used to think this was a great thing but I've recently discovered how much it holds me back. Simple things like deciding what to have for dinner can be really overwhelming for me. I completely overthink things and spend way to much time planning our family schedule and reworking our routines. I am fascinated with family systems and learning about how other families function and juggle their busy lives. I am excited to sort though and record the chaos floating around in my head & filling up space on my phone.

BLOG NAME:
Organize means to arrange into a structured whole or to put in order. 

Chaos means complete disorder or confusion, it's derived from a Greek word meaning "void."

Organized chaos is a complex situation or process that appears chaotic while having enough order to achieve progress or goals.

This blog is a spot for me to organize myself and the crazy chaos in my life while working towards my goals & hopefully helping others along the way.
