About Me
Who am I and why do I have a blog?
Hi, welcome to my little corner of the Internet, I'm Chelsea. I married my best friend, John about 7 years ago and together we have a 4-year-old son, Reese, who is my entire world but also the reason I may (or may not) have lost my sanity. We also have a dog, Mya, who is a mutt and just as awkward as I am. Between being a stay at home mother and managing/coping with a chronic health condition our life has become a bit of what I like to call predictable chaos (though it’s not always so predictable). Which is why I want to share not just aspects of chronic illness but how it is simply apart of life but not my entire life. I still love to cook, I am a wife and mother there is so much more to my life than my diagnosis but my condition does tend to impact all aspects of my life in one way or another but I refuse to let it define me.
A little bit about me, I grew up in small community inside Orlando, Florida and moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2006, in part looking for better care for my NDPH. I have a pretty dark and twisted sense of humor, which is helpful for day to day survival.
About Me
Who am I, and why do I have a blog?
I'd like to think I'm a pretty normal twenty something year old woman. I am married, have a son, am addicted to trashy reality TV, love to cook and spend time with loved ones. There's just one thing that no one would know unless I told them, which is that I deal with a chronic condition called NDPH or New Daily Persistent Headache which can be quite disabling at times. Being a stay at home mother and wife can be a recipe for chaos, but my condition adds another layer of what I call predictable chaos to our lives (although it isn't always so predictable). While I refuse to let my condition define me or my life it's unfair to deny that it does play a role in my life either. I searched the internet high and low and have not found many blogs, YouTube channels or social media accounts who don't solely focus on chronic illness, or parenthood, or marriage and lifestyle everyone tends to focus on one thing and I said why can't I focus on all of it with a hint of how chronic illness can impact all of these other areas of life sometimes. I also don't want to overly focus on chronic illness because there is so much more to life than just that small aspect of my life. So welcome to the chaos, as I navigate parenthood, homeownership, marriage and life while dealing and coping with my NDPH.
