One Month, One Messy, Joyful Beginning

It’s been just under a month since I hit publish on my first blog post, and in that short time, The Joyful Mess has already become one of my favorite corners of the internet. This space—born from a mix of late-night reflections, heartfelt stories, and a sprinkle of chaos—has been such a gift.

And you know what I’ve learned in just four short weeks? That consistency is key, creativity flows better with structure, and that life (especially mom life!) is way too full to not give myself room to breathe.

So starting this week, I’ll be publishing new posts every Sunday. That means every Sunday morning, you can expect a new piece of storytelling, encouragement, or life-in-the-mess musing waiting for you—something worth sipping your coffee slowly over.

But! Just because I’m sticking to Sundays doesn’t mean I won’t still show up when it matters. There will be bonus posts sprinkled in along the way—like Abigail’s birth story on 8/4, and Samuel’s birth story on 9/14. These are stories that deserve their own spotlight, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

I’m so grateful for the love this little blog has already received—thank you for reading, following, and letting me be messy, joyful, and real.

Here’s to more Sundays together. 💛
