Hey y’all — I’m Karley, the chaos-coordinating mama behind Rooted in Real Mama. I’m a boy mom of two, a nurse, and a firm believer that caffeine and core memories keep this life rolling.
This little corner of the internet is my space to keep it real about motherhood — the messy, funny, overwhelming, and heart-melting moments. I share the products, hacks, and resources that have saved my sanity (and maybe even my house) as I juggle toddler tantrums, baby snuggles, and everything in between.
I started Rooted in Real Mama to connect with other moms who feel like they’re living in the same circus. Here you’ll find my most-loved baby and toddler essentials, mom-approved favorites, and simple ideas to make life just a little easier.
If you’ve ever thought: “How do other moms do it?” — trust me, you’re in the right place. We’re figuring it out together, one chaotic day (and one iced coffee) at a time. 💕
