Meet Amber

REAL-LIFE MOTHERHOOD THAT’S MESSY, FUN, AND ACTUALLY DOABLE.

If motherhood feels overwhelming—even when you love your kids like crazy—you’re in the right place. I’m Amber: rainbow glasses, loud house, and a brain that doesn’t always follow the plan. I created Awkward Mama to share the routines, parenting tips, and fun ideas that helped my family go from full-on survival mode to something that actually worked.

You won’t find pressure to be perfect here—just realistic support for moms who want to enjoy their kids, build better rhythms, and stop spiraling over every mess.

This blog is for the moms who:

struggle with structure but still crave a calm environment
want more connection and less control in their parenting
love their families deeply but also need breathing room
believe having fun matters, even when life is chaotic af

Awkward Mama is full of ideas that work even when your brain is overwhelmed, your house is loud, and your to-do list is laughing at you.

I’m so glad you’re here 💛

Around here, we believe:

Motherhood’s more fun when you stop trying to get it “right.”Have fun.
Make memories. Embrace the chaos.
