Laughing Through the Chaos - Welcome to the Chaos!
I'm a 20-something first-time mama to a beautiful baby girl, and wife to my fabulous and unbelievably patient husband. This blog is all about my journey through motherhood. It's here that I'll talk about everything...

A seemingly sweet-looking little old lady (let's just call her Granny Panties) at church just about got a knuckle sandwich this morning, but lucky for her, I was holding my screaming child, who was apparently trying to communicate to the entire church that I hadn't fed her in, oh, a good week or so by the decibel level of her screams.
