👋 Hi, I’m Lucee!
I’m a mom to two amazing boys — my 13-year-old (Thing 1) and my 11-year-old (Thing 2) — and wife to my very French husband, aka Frenchy. Yes, he’s actually French. And yes, life is exactly as chaotic and entertaining as you’re imagining.
We recently added Zoi to our family, and let’s just say… we’re officially Frenchie-obsessed.
💛 Real life, real parenting
Everyone in our house has ADHD (except Papi, who somehow escaped 😅), so life here is loud, fast, emotional, and never boring.
I’m also a special education teacher, and I truly love what I do. I’m constantly searching for real solutions — both for my students and for my own kids — and that’s a big part of why I started this blog.
🌍 A little bit of everything
With Greek, English, and French roots, our home is full of big personalities, strong opinions, and a lot of passion.
We’ve been told we’re “entertaining”… though sometimes people just stare at us like, what just happened?
💥 Our story (it’s a good one)
My husband and I met on Match.com about 22 years ago — and it was basically fight at first sight. We fell in love… with arguing.
So naturally, we got married.
After we got tired of fighting, we had kids (because my biological clock was yelling at me). I had this dreamy vision of strolling around with a designer stroller, casually shopping for lipstick instead of selling it…
Turns out:
👉 motherhood is harder than retail
👉 and money does NOT magically appear when you stop working
Rude awakening.
✍️ How this blog started
After my first son was born, I got bored. Yes — bored.
But I also knew I couldn’t go back to retail, so during nap times I started writing.
That led to my book, Letters to Mom and Dad, inspired by letters I wrote while working in Europe as a fashion model. Becoming a published author lit something in me — and now writing is a huge part of my life.
🧠 Why I really write
I started blogging because I needed a place to put all the thoughts in my head.
And if you’re a mom… you know what I mean.
It’s busy up there:
- ideas
- worries
- judgments
- conversations that never actually happen
But over time, I realized something important:
👉 Other women feel this way too.
They just don’t always say it out loud.
💬 What you’ll find here
On MomJunky, I share real life with a mix of:
- Parenting (especially ADHD + real struggles)
- Travel with kids
- Easy recipes + fun ideas
- Honest thoughts (the ones people don’t always say)
💛 My promise
I’ll say the things you’re thinking but might not say out loud.
The messy stuff. The funny stuff. The uncomfortable stuff.
Because here’s the truth:
👉 none of us are crazy… we just take turns feeling that way
And humor? That’s how we survive it.
