Let's Get Acquainted!

Hey. I’m Leslie– full-time mom, part-time emotional support goblin, and the exhausted voice behind Mascara, Meltdowns & Margaritas.

 

I’m a single mom of five. Yes, five. No, I don’t sleep. Yes, I cry in the shower sometimes (when the kids don’t find me first). My life is a beautiful mix of anxiety spirals, co-parenting headaches, late-night laundry, and the occasional margarita when the stars align and everyone under 12 is asleep by 9.

 

This blog is where I drop the filters and spill the truth—about motherhood, mental health, money, and that weird sticky stuff on the floor that nobody claims responsibility for.

 

You won’t find perfection here.

You will find:

    •    Unfiltered stories from the frontlines of motherhood

    •    Sarcastic survival tips for when you’re running on fumes

    •    Random dancing, Taylor Swift lyrics, and deep thoughts from the carpool lane

    •    Probably too many references to caffeine, Target, and emotional damage

 

If you’re also doing your best and feeling like it’s never enough—grab a drink, pull up a chair, and let’s laugh through the meltdown. Because if we don’t, we’ll probably scream. And that’s just bad for the wrinkles.
