I started a blog. \nMy name is Trish, but around here I'm Gramma M. \nI'm a 52-year-old, grandma\/mom, wife, and MN gal, who decided life is too short not to write down the crazy, funny, real stuff that happens every day.\nWhy \"Chaos Called Life\"? Because honestly? \nmy house is never clean, my grandkids run the show, I have ADHD with 47 hobbies, and I say what everyone else is thinking. \nIf your life feels like a beautiful mess too, you\u2019re in the right place.\nWhat you\u2019ll find here: family stories, recipes that actually work, no-BS life advice, and I will probably throw in a crochet pattern or 500!!! \nWhat I will blog about: aging, ADHD, parenting\/ grandparenting, hot flashes and anything else that happens to pop up. \nMy promise: I\u2019ll keep it real, I won\u2019t sell you dumb stuff, there will be typos!!\nI don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing yet, but I\u2019m doing it anyway. That\u2019s kinda the theme of my life. \nSo, grab a coffee &#91;or wine, no judgment], stick around, and let\u2019s figure out this chaos together.\nLove, Gramma M\n\nP.S. Go check out my Etsy store. I have patterns, digital downloads, and physical items I make. No, it is not dumb stuff!!\nHere is the link\n<a href=\"https:\/\/grammamurchshop.etsy.com\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-1-color\">https:\/\/grammamurchshop.etsy.com<\/mark><\/a>\n\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">P.S.
