From Chaos to Community: Our Story
When founder Jessica became a parent, she quickly realized something: Google didn’t have all the answers—but her mom’s comment, “It’s what you always wanted!” meant it was time to figure it out, after all a dream without a plan is just a fantasy.
Frustrated by the overload of picture-perfect advice and not enough real-talk solutions, she created this space to share what actually works (and what definitely doesn’t). What started as a passion project has grown into a thriving village for parents who value authenticity, practicality, and humor.
Today, It’s What You Always Wanted is your go-to destination for:
- Proven Parenting Strategies: From potty-training hacks to bedtime battles, we’ve got you covered.
- Parent-Tested Products: No gimmicks—just gear that can survive spit-ups, snack crumbs, and sibling skirmishes.
Laugh-Out-Loud Moments: Because sometimes, the best remedy for a hard day is knowing you’re not the only one crying in the carpool line.
