About Me

Hey Y'all, I'm Dawn.

I started Flip Out Mama way back in 2010 when my kids were little and blogging looked very different than it does now. Somehow, all these years later, I'm still here — although thankfully the blog and I have both changed quite a bit.

I'm 40(not sure how in the hell that happened), I live in rural Kentucky with my husband, our three kids, and our dogs. My husband and I also run a small HVAC business together. 

At this point in my life, I'm somewhere between raising kids who aren't really kids anymore and figuring out what life looks like for me now. I'm trying to take better care of myself, make our home a place I love, travel more, cook good food, spend our money a little more intentionally, and still occasionally buy something completely unnecessary because I saw it online and decided I needed it.

I love true crime, reading, plants, cozy games, good food, traveling, and researching the absolute hell out of things before I buy them. If I find something I really love, I'm probably going to tell somebody about it. And if I spend money on something that sucks, I'm probably going to tell you that too.

That's really what I want Flip Out Mama to be now — a place to share real life and the things I'm figuring out along the way. Family, home, beauty and wellness, food, travel, things worth buying, and probably some completely random stuff because that's just how my brain works.

I've been doing this for a long time, and there are more than a few questionable posts buried in the archives to prove it. But I'm really excited about this next version of Flip Out Mama.

I'm glad you're here.
