From Chaos to Calm: My Journey as a Mom of Four
Step into my world—where sleepless nights, endless laundry, and teenage eye-rolls meet laughter, love, and the joy of raising four incredible humans.
Read My Story
Hi, I’m Sally—proud single mom to four incredible kids, professional plate-spinner, and now the heart behind Calm Cozy Home.
Parenting, for me, has been a journey of constant change. Just when you think you’ve mastered one stage—navigating toddler meltdowns in the grocery store or convincing a preschooler to wear shoes—along comes an entirely new adventure. Teenagers bring their own set of joys and challenges (and yes, the laundry still never ends). Every stage has stretched me, taught me, and shaped the way I approach both parenting and life.
Being a single parent wasn’t the path I initially envisioned, but it has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Watching my kids grow from chubby-cheeked toddlers to thoughtful young adults has been nothing short of magical. There’s a deep pride in seeing the small daily lessons take root—kindness, resilience, and the belief that they can build the life they want.
Over the years, I’ve had to figure out a lot on my own. I’ve made mistakes (plenty), celebrated little wins, and learned that no parent ever truly “has it all together.” Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about being present, patient, and willing to keep learning right alongside your children.
That’s why I created my collection of books and courses. They’re not just “how-tos” pulled from theory—they’re real, lived experiences. Late-night research sessions, trial-and-error parenting hacks, and hard-earned wisdom gathered from years of juggling homework, home life, and my own dreams. I poured my heart into them with one goal: to make your parenting journey a little easier, a lot more joyful, and deeply fulfilling.
If my work can help you love being a parent as much as I do—if it can spark a little more peace, confidence, and connection in your home—then I’ll consider it one of my proudest accomplishments (right up there with raising my kids).
So whether you’re knee-deep in toddler chaos, navigating the wild world of pre-teens, or guiding young adults into independence, know this: you’re not alone. I’m walking this road with you, cheering for you every step of the way.
With all my heart,
Sally 💛

From Chaos to Cozy: My Weekend Declutter That Changed Everything
I didn’t plan it. I was just trying to find a clean pair of socks for one of my kids. One drawer led to another, then a closet, and before I knew it—I was sitting on the floor surrounded by mismatched Tupperware, old paperwork, and a half-burned candle I swore I’d...
