Introduction to My Messy Bliss

With trying to raise a young family, keep up my home and household, and work a full-time job, life can get a more than a little overwhelming. I try (like most of us) to keep it running smoothly, to look like I have even the slightest clue about what I am doing, but really I am just trying to keep my head above water.

I have so many great plans for my life and my family. I am trying to be as organized as possible and have a smooth-running household. Some of the things that I hope to accomplish are creating a workable budget, finding creative ways to save money and a meal plan strategy that fits my family, as well as trying to be healthier and happier! What I want to do with this blog is to keep track of my process and progress. Detailing what I am doing, noting successes and working through failures.

I am mainly starting this blog as a journal to keep me on point and motivated with achieving my goals (and perhaps inspire and receive feedback along the way!).

About Me



I am a wife and a working mother of two wonderful (and messy) boys. My main goals are being more organized and finding balance as a working mother and wife with a home to maintain.

I want to share my experiences with you, both my successes and failures, and connect with others like me to be inspired and perhaps inspire as well.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

We do not specifically market to children under 13.

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
