Welcome to the Chaos (Because Let’s Be Honest, There’s No Escaping It)

Hey there! We’re Stacy and Amanda—two sisters navigating the wild, wonderful, and hilariously messy world of motherhood. Between us, we’ve got six kids (ages 16, 14, 13, 11, 10, and 8), nearly 33 years of marriage, and enough chaotic stories to write a sitcom (or at least a solid comedy special).

Growing up in a family of 12, chaos is practically part of our DNA. We learned early on how to survive noise, endless opinions, and a steady stream of mayhem. Turns out, that was just the warm-up act for motherhood—because parenting? That’s next-level chaos, and we’re still figuring it out one mess at a time.

We created "The Unedited Sisters" because we know how overwhelming, hilarious, and downright unpredictable this journey can be. We wanted a space where moms like us can show up, unfiltered and unapologetic, to laugh, cry, and share the madness. Whether your day feels like a sitcom, a soap opera, or a reality show gone off the rails, we promise you’ll feel right at home here.

Why We’re Doing This

Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual (and if it did, ours would probably end up under a pile of laundry). There are so many things we wish we’d known before becoming moms—like how to function on three hours of sleep, the art of negotiating with toddlers, and how to referee a heated argument about whose turn it is to pick the TV show when we all know it’s actually mine.

This blog is about more than just swapping stories. It’s about creating a space where moms can feel seen, heard, and supported. We’ll dive into the hard stuff (like balancing mom life without losing yourself) and the hilarious stuff (like that time Stacy’s kids decided to make a Christmas tree painting using their dogs’ paw prints and ended up with green paint on the walls and the floor. And the final masterpiece? Let’s just say it was a complete flop.)

Two Sisters, Two Perspectives

One thing you should know about us? We don’t always agree.

Amanda (that’s me!) has been married for almost 15 years, homeschools her three kids, and thrives on trying to keep life semi-organized (key word: trying).

Stacy’s been married for 17 years, manages her household in her own beautifully chaotic way, and always has a fresh perspective when we hash out parenting debates. There’s never a dull medical moment in her house, but somehow she tackles it all with humor and heart.

We’re proof that even when you grow up in the same family, life takes you in different directions. And honestly? That’s what makes this blog so much fun. You’re not just getting one perspective—you’re getting two sisters’ takes on motherhood, life, and all the madness in between.

What You’ll Find Here

We’re not here to sugarcoat anything. You’ll find:

• Real Talk: The things we wish someone had told us before becoming moms.

• Mom Wins and Fails: Because we all have days when we’re crushing it—and days when the kids have cereal for dinner (again).

• The Chaos Chronicles: The moments that make us laugh, cry, and question our life choices.

• Unfiltered Advice: From two moms who are still figuring it out, just like you.

  
  

We’re not experts, but we are real—and that’s what we’re bringing to the table.

Let’s Build This Together

Our goal? To create a community where moms can show up exactly as they are. Whether you’re dealing with a toddler tantrum, a teenager’s mood swings, or just trying to remember where you left your coffee for the third time today, we’re here for it.

We’ll share our stories, our lessons, and even the moments we totally bombed, so you’ll know you’re not alone. And we want to hear from you, too.
