I am Sam

Hey there! I am Samantha- wife and mom to two beautiful blonde kiddos- hence the name “Blonde Chaos”. I am also a Nurse Practitioner working with adults and geriatric patient’s in skilled and long term care facilities, providing primary and acute care to one of our most frail populations. While being an NP is a big part of who I am, it is by no means my entire life. (Disclaimer here: all thoughts, opinions documented here are my own and do not reflect those of my employer or facilities I work for) 🙂

I was inspired to start this blog to show how I navigate, and frequently fail to navigate, being a working mom and the daily struggles that ensue. My story is not at all unique. But my desire to share it may be. Despite outward appearances, we all struggle with getting dinner on the table, keeping the kids in order, maintaining a home, being a good partner to our spouse, and keeping our own sanity in the midst of it all. And that’s OK. So come on over , pour a mimosa, and laugh with (and at) me as I show you that is OK to NOT be OK.
