Welcome to the part of the internet where parenting, work, pets, and life all collide in a glorious, unfiltered mess.
​The Westley Chronicles began the same way most good stories do: somewhere between a spilled bottle, a barking Rottweiler, and me wondering why the children are suddenly quiet.
It’s a collection of real moments from our wonderfully chaotic crew doing our best to stay upright while life throws pistachio shells and curveballs at the same time.
​
These aren’t polished parenting tales or Pinterest-perfect memories.
They’re the kind of stories you tell your friends with a laugh and a sigh.
The moments that make you go:
“Is this normal?”
and
“At least it’s not just me.”
​
Because it isn’t just you.
Family life is wild, unpredictable, hilarious, exhausting, heart-thumping, and occasionally held together by snacks and sarcasm.
​
What You’ll Find Here
Short stories about real life.
The hilarious, the ridiculous, the touching, and the “oh for f***’s sake” moments we all know too well.
A behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to juggle kids, work, pets, relationships, and a to-do list that regenerates like a video game villain.
​
Why I Write It
Because joy hides in the mess.
Because laughter is sometimes the only thing stopping us from crying in the pantry.
Because these days, these loud, messy, maddening, magical days — won’t last forever.
​
And honestly?
Because it makes me feel a little better knowing someone else out there gets it.
