Hey there!

I'm Joanna, the voice behind Clueless to Confident (-ish) Mom.

As a fellow mom navigating the unpredictable journey of raising a tiny human, I understand the mix of joys and challenges that come with the territory. 

I hope something in this blog will help, inspire, or connect with other moms out there who are trying to figure out life with kids. 

No matter how things may seem at times:  you're not alone. 

Becoming a mom is life-changing! The excitement, the joy, the fears, and doubts, the happiness, the loneliness...well it's hard to explain the vastness, simplicity, and challenges of this new lifestyle until you experience it. There are untold numbers of helpful parenting books out there and other blogs, and yet, women still need more support, guidance, encouragement, and different perspectives to know no one has it "all figured out" behind the scenes, and they aren't alone in trying to make sense of it all in the role that is supposedly completely natural and instinctual - being a mom. So, I've thrown my hat in the ring by creating this blog, just to be here as a fellow mom, not an expert or professional in anything fancy, to hopefully offer raw comfort and laughs for all those out there searching for insights.

This blog is a safe space where I share my personal experiences, tips, and mistakes on the rollercoaster of what it means to be a mom for those who, like me, started out knowing absolutely NOTHING about pregnancy, birth, babies, kids, nutrition, or what to do throughout the long days, nights, and naps. I also recommend activities, games, books for kids, books for parents, and family travel recommendations to help along the way. Along with recommendations of all these things, I am an author and creator of books, planners, and other items which can be found in my online store here. 

​

I'm originally from Texas, but have now lived almost the same amount of time here in California! 

​

Join me as I tip-toe, run, and stumble along through these messy, chaotic, and beautiful moments, learning from each one.
