Snuggles N Struggles was born because I needed a space — and I knew other mamas did too — where we could feel seen, heard, and laugh through the chaos without judgment. Sure, the highlight reels on social media are cute… but where’s the corner for the moms who forgot picture day, served Dino nuggets again, and cried in the pantry for five minutes? Right here, babe.
Here, you’ll find everything from messy mama truths and tantrum toolkits to meal ideas that don’t always involve mac & cheese. (No promises, though.) And yes — the occasional late-night Amazon find, because who among us hasn’t panic-primed something at 3 a.m. while feeding a baby?
If you’ve ever:
Hid in the bathroom for five minutes of “me time”
Reheated your coffee four times and still didn’t drink it
Worn the same spit-up shirt for three days straight…
then welcome aboard. Let’s ride this struggle bus together — spit-up stains, messy buns, and all. 💪
Meet Carol
Hi, I’m Carol — captain of the Hot-Mess Express, mom to two under two (one boy, one girl), proud bonus mom to an awesome 7-year-old boy, and fully committed to my caffeine addiction (no plans to quit, thank you very much). When I’m not knee-deep in diapers and snack negotiations, you can usually find me camped out at sporting practices or games several nights a week. I also juggle life as a healthcare recruiter and co-owner of a hotshot trucking company with my husband. Life’s chaotic, but it’s mine — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything… well, except maybe a nap.
