About the Author

 The face behind the blog:

Occasionally this,

sometimes also this,
 
...but usually this,

this,

this,

and this.

Janessa is the 23 year old mom of a toddler who runs purely on bananas and rage. With no degree, no career, and no plans, she stepped into the role of a stay at home parent in August of 2020.

Pactically fresh out of the womb herself, Janessa struggled to avoid spiraling, and ultimately failed. After nearly two years of trauma dumping, she decided to seek professional counsel, and to start a blog as an outlet for her emotions.

Parenthood Unhinged started as a bad idea birthed from a series of unfortunate events and a few too many sleepless nights, and grew into...well, it's still pretty much just that. 

Embrace the chaos :')

Travel with a Toddler: Table Rock, SC

  Travel with a Toddler: infant edition :') We hiked Table Rock in South Carolina when my daughter was under a year old. We lived in SC shortly and this was the only major hike that we accomplished. Calling it "major" is an understatement, honestly. It was a very emotional experience for me. I was still struggling from postpartum depression, had severe anxiety, was extremely insecure of how my body looked, and overall just didn't feel good. This hike changed my outlook on myself and the world around me. Table Rock face as seen from the road. Even now it's insane putting into perspective how small and insignificant we all are, compared to natural beauties such as this. But this isn't meant to get that deep. BRB, I'm just getting emotional over how small and baby she is here. She was just barely sitting up on her own at this age. Bye. Whoever's cutting onions over here needs to give me a break. The start of the hike was pretty easy, as most are. A distra...

My Very First Post (Since 2015!)

Friendly warning: I overshare quite a bit. It's a lengthy read. :)  One of the first blogs I ever made :') I, like many of my friends, started a blog way way waaaaaayyy back in the day. When I was a freshman in high school (2013, if my math is correct), I went through my first of many quarter-life crisises. If I remember correctly, one of my friends had started a lifestyle blog and I quietly followed suit. I thoght to myself, if nothing else, I could look back on my posts as if it was a journal of sorts. I had a ton of half-filled notebooks that I saved throughout the years, but a house fire in 2016 obliterated all of those.  I'll spare the details just this once, but while in recovery from an eating disorder I stumbled upon blogs written by older women who had stories similar to mine, and were on the other side so to speak, holding their hands out for girls like me. I reached out to many of them, joined a small community of foodies and lifestyle bloggers.  Running with S...

Travel with a Toddler: the Red River Gorge, KY

  The last time my husband and I had been to the Red River Gorge was on our honeymoon. We moved to Cincinnatti, OH nearly a year ago; for nearly a year one of us would occasionally say to the other, "we should go back to the Gorge this weekend." Spoiler alert: it never happened. Until last weekend, when my husband packed up the diaper bag, sneakily grabbed my hiking shoes, and told me we were going for a walk to the park. Two and a half hours later, we were parked at the Daniel Boone Coffee Shop, energizing ourselves for the trek ahead of us.  We chose the Auxier Ridge trail, and followed the 5 mile loop. After hiking a 10 mile moutnain the previous weekend, I figured it would be easy money, but towards the end my exercise induced asthma kicked in and my will to live was slowly dwindling. I highly highly highly  recommend investing in a good quality baby carrier. The ErgoBaby 360 was a wonderful choice. As I share more photos from previous hikes, you'll see that carrier a...
