Meet the Salty Mama: Raising 3 Kids, Soaking Up Sunshine & Living Out Loud!

Meet the Salty Mama of 3.

Hi, I’m Kristen – the salty mama behind the chaos.

I’m a beach bum at heart, a wife to the love of my life, and a mama to three wild, wonderful little humans who keep my days sandy, sticky, and endlessly entertaining. Our home base? Somewhere between the sea breeze and the snack crumbs, where flip-flops are always acceptable and naps are a rare luxury.

This blog is my little slice of sunshine — a space where I can share the beautiful mess of motherhood, the joys of queer family life, and our daily adventures in raising kids with love, laughter, and SPF 50. Expect real talk, beach hacks, parenting wins (and fails), and maybe a few affiliate links to help this mama fund her iced coffee habit.

I’m not here to pretend it’s perfect. It’s loud. It’s messy. It’s full of late-night cuddles, sandy car seats, and moments that make it all worth it.

If you're a fellow parent, beach lover, LGBTQ+ family, or just someone who gets the magic of finding peace in the chaos — welcome. I’m glad you’re here. 💛

Let’s ride these waves together.
