Real Life - Gen X Edition

I’m Kaaren (yes, with two a’s—don’t overthink it). I keep things real and practical—relatable stories, my favorite product finds, reflections, and maybe a sprinkle of unsolicited advice.

With two dogs, a travel hockey kid (who also happens to have ADHD), and a partner of 25+ years (married for 17—we survived!), life is messy, chaotic, and full of moments worth sharing. If you’re here for real talk, practical tips, and maybe a laugh at my expense, stick around.

Oh, and one more thing: I don’t ask for permission or forgiveness. If you don’t like what I have to say, you’re welcome to move along—I’ll still be here posting what I want, when I want.
