Neuro-Spicy Chaos & Candy Wellness: Parenting, Positivity, and Manifestation

It’s Finally Friday… But Who’s Counting? If you’ve been following my week, you know it’s been nothing short of a circus. By Tuesday, I felt like I’d lived through an entire month, and the madness just kept rolling. But hey, we made it to Friday—barely! A Week for the Books Tuesday was a blur of DHR visits, endless work Zooms, and enough mom duties to last a lifetime. Wednesday? Determined to top Tuesday’s chaos, it threw me into a whirlwind of work, a side hustle Zoom call, and late-night juggling of my mom and wife roles. (When do we clock out again?) Thursday gave me a bit of a breather—just the usual work mayhem, a dash of “life happens,” and the calm before Friday’s storm. Friday Hits Like a Freight Train Ah, Friday. The day started with my 17-year-old, Alivia, who required no fewer than four wake-up calls before I left the house. Spoiler alert: none of them worked. Because I clearly enjoy a challenge, I drove back home to try again, all while calling my 16-year-old, Natalie, at h...

But I Swear It’s Friday in My Soul Some days feel like a montage from a sitcom where the laugh track is my inner monologue, and yesterday was one of them. Mariah, my 15-month-old, kicked things off by absolutely crushing her checkup like the baby CEO of milestones. I mean, she’s out here thriving. But as much as I’d love to just bask in her tiny glory, my day was just warming up. Traffic: The Universe’s Way of Saying, "Reflect on Your Life Choices" Cue the hour-long commute to work, where I bonded with my car radio and became way too invested in a DJ’s dating drama. Then came a full eight-hour workday, filled with productive human things like emails, meetings, and wondering if I’d remembered to thaw the chicken. The drive home should’ve been a breezy hour but turned into a 90-minute existential crisis, courtesy of traffic. Did I use that time to ponder the meaning of life? Nope. Just sang off-key to Taylor Swift and questioned why I never became a yoga instructor in Bali. Wh...

Where the Chaos is Cozy and the Madness is Beautiful Welcome to the beautiful madness we call life! We are the Carrolls—a lively family of six (plus pets and a few honorary members!), where “normal” is just a setting on the washing machine, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. From teen drama to eight-year-old antics, we’ve mastered (well, sort of) the art of organized chaos. Now, let’s meet the crew. The Ringleader: Amber Hey, I’m Amber—the multi-hat-wearing mom who runs a home rental office by day and a wellness business by night. ADHD? Check. Anxiety? Double check! It keeps life interesting, though, and also happens to be my superpower. I’m always juggling (and sometimes dropping) balls, but my love for finding balance—whether it’s in family, work, or life—keeps me grounded. My secret sauce? DNA drops and a sense of humor sharper than a toddler’s scream. Logan: The Quiet Rock Logan is the steady heartbeat of our crew. Nine years of marriage and still going strong. He’s the calm to...

Friday Night Freakout: Parenting Teens, Drama, and Survival Kits Picture this: It’s Friday evening, and I’m on a Zoom call for our Friday night cocktail party. Ding. A dad texts me, “Call me when you’re done.” Sure, no problem— multitasking is practically my superpower at this point . I finish the call and dial him back. Then he hits me with, “You know my daughter’s missing…” Cue the mental record scratch. Wait. What? He’s already called the cops, and he’s connecting dots like Sherlock Holmes on caffeine while I’m standing there like, “Uhhh, hang on a sec…” Let me just check the guest list because—oh yeah— your daughter is right here. Yep, she’d been at my house the whole time . The. Whole. Time. The look on his face when he came to pick her up? Priceless. But me? I needed to pop an RLX and an HPY right then and there. Trust me—these drops are the ultimate mom survival kit. RLX is all about instant gratification : it promotes relaxation, healthy sleep patterns, mental calmness, a...

Energy Drinks, Kroger Runs, and Thrifting Shenanigans When I was little, Sundays were sacred. My Papa would take me for a drive, stopping at a tiny corner store where he’d buy me a cheap little baby doll with a round, bald head—and always a king-size Butterfinger, which made Granny shake her head and fuss. Sunday afternoons were her time to shine, cooking up a huge dinner that became the highlight of the week. Those simple rituals left a mark on me, and I’ve carried them into my own version of Sunday traditions. Modern Sundays: A New Kind of Ritual Nowadays, my Sundays kick off with caffeine and chaos. Logan and I hop in the car, energy drinks in hand, for our 30-minute pilgrimage to Kroger. The soundtrack? A mix of TikTok scrolling, family chatter, and debates about what’s for dinner this week. Without fail, Logan sneaks donuts into the cart. Every. Single. Time. He flashes that cheeky smile, and I cave like clockwork. Some battles just aren’t worth fighting, especially when there’s p...

 You know that rush of fresh air and calm you feel by the ocean or after a thunderstorm? That’s the power of negative ions at work.

 It’s October 1st, and we’re diving headfirst into the ‘Ber’ months —October, November, and December. The time of year where things go from “too early to buy Halloween candy” to “I’m stress-eating it while wrapping Christmas gifts” faster than you can say ‘pumpkin spice.’ Blink, and the whole season’s over. For me, October kicks things off with Halloween—but not in the way you might think. We’ve never handed out candy at my house. Honestly? My street’s a ghost town when it comes to trick-or-treaters, and we’re usually out trick-or-treating ourselves anyway, so why bother? Haunted houses? Nope, not our scene either. But our Halloween tradition has been Fright Fest at Six Flags . The kids love it, and I’ll admit—I’m into it, too. I’ll never forget our first Fright Fest. We warned Natalie she might get too scared, but she insisted she could handle it. Spoiler: She couldn’t. Cue full meltdown mode one tunnel in. We were an hour and a half from home, standing in line at a Mexican r...
