About IWYAW

Welcome to It’s What You Always Wanted—your blog and shop for parents who laugh, cry, and occasionally whisper, “I’ve got this… right?” 🍼✨

Parenthood is a wild ride, from those bleary-eyed newborn nights to the “Why is there glitter in the AC vents?” toddler phase (and every chaotic chapter beyond). Here, you’ll find real talk, lifesaving tips, and handpicked goodies designed to survive actual life with kids. Think of us as your cheerleaders, troubleshooters, and fellow hot-mess companions.

The name? It’s a wink to those moments when my mom would dryly remind me, “It’s what you always wanted…” (cue the eye-roll-laugh). Because yes, sometimes you do need to “put on your big girl pants”—but you don’t have to do it solo.
