Welcome to Semi-Planned Chaos, our little corner of the internet where we do our best to work through the problems of the day. Join us as we traverse the treacherous lands of last-minute planning, surprise co-parenting, and quasi-adulting.
While our family may look a little different on the surface, we live our lives just like everyone else — one day at a time. We believe that life is so much sweeter when you have plenty of love to give to the people close to you (and we sure do have plenty of people!).
Our family started much like many others do — with two people falling in love. However, that’s about where the “typical” ends! In 2017 we became surprise parents to two beautiful young girls who have brought so much joy into our lives. With that joy comes a great deal of responsibility, though — going from zero kids to two kids in such a short time period was a lot more work than we ever could have expected.
Babz quit her job as a full-time freelance writer in order to stay home full-time with the girls. Bre works full-time as a casino security guard, putting in long hours to make sure we always have food on the table and clean clothes on our backs. It’s hard work managing a family, but it’s become second-nature now and we couldn’t imagine life without the chaos that is our family.
After what felt like an eternity of trial-and-error, we were finally able to reach some type of family peace in 2019 and decided it would benefit us all to share our story with the world. We invite you to take a look into our lives and share in our experience. You never know — you might just learn something new!
Feel free to send us a message or comment whenever you want to reach out and chat. We love mail that isn’t trying to sell us something! 😉
