Welcome to annpurdy.com

Come on in—wipe your feet, drop the emotional baggage by the door, and grab a snack (fresh from an anger-baking spiral). This is the beautifully messy middle ground between trying to plan your life and completely giving up on the idea of having it together.

I’m Ann—aka Mom, Grandma, planner-hoarder, printable-maker, chaos-survivor, and the conductor of the Hot Mess Express. This site is where I show up as my full, unfiltered self: part nurturer, part gremlin, always honest. It’s where sarcasm hugs soft wisdom, where you’ll find digital downloads that may or may not help—but at least they’re cute while your life explodes.

Here, you’ll find:

• “Notes from the Hot Mess Express” – my blog full of life lessons, rants, and accidental insights.
• “The Chaos Shop” – because organizing the chaos is cheaper than therapy (but also not a replacement for it).
• A Safe Place for the Emotionally Tired – with caffeine-fueled compassion and the occasional meltdown in the margins.

If you’re here, you’re probably one of us—doing your best, dropping the ball, picking it back up with one hand while making dinner with the other. You’re not alone. And hey, if all else fails, at least there’s banana bread.

Let’s pretend we’ve got it together, together.
