About

Hi there, and welcome to my Perfect Little Chaos! If you’re navigating the sea of motherhood, then you’ve landed in the right place. From pregnancy to pre-teens, I’ve got you covered! My name is Elisa, I’m a mom of 4 little (some not so much anymore) monkeys and married to my high school sweetheart (together 22 years, married 12) They are everything to me! My mission here is to inspire you to create magical moments with your family. Being a mother is the most rewarding but hardest and most chaotic jobs. No sick days, no vacations, on the clock 24/7. Let’s not forget that we are more than just moms. For that reason, I’ll also be here to spark joy in your daily life. Whether it be through fashion, beauty, home, love…just a little push to do something for yourself today! This blog is my creative outlet. My 5th baby, we’ll call it. Something I can nurture and watch grow, when life isn’t too chaotic. Every bone in my body is creative. Creating is what sparks joy in me, even if I’m dead tired, making something will bring me so much happiness. After having our second baby, my amazing husband pushed me to start a small business selling handmade wooden signs and personalized gifts. At first, I wondered who in the world would buy them, but my hubby believed in me so much, that it was hard not to believe in myself. And for a few years, I watched this little business grow until it was too much for me to handle. I realized that I couldn’t do it all. I was not able to give 100 percent of myself in all areas of my life. A mother, a wife, a teacher ( did I mention we’ve been homeschooling for 6 years ) a sister, a friend, and run a small business. So while pregnant with baby #4, I stopped. I truly missed creating things, I had just created another human, but it just wasn’t the same. A few months after giving birth, my husband noticed something was missing, so once again pushed me to find another outlet for my creativity. Did I already mention how awesome and supportive he is? He told me, ” You love creating things and making everything pretty, why don’t you start a blog and share all these things?” So here we are today! I hope you find something here that inspired you to do something you’ll love. Don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter to stay in the know about what’s happening on the blog each week. Thank you for being here and joining my little community on this side of the internet! Enjoy!

Elisa

You asked, here it is!  How I embroidered flowers onto my jeans using my Cricut! I usually reach for infusible pens to build my embroidery templates, but if you're not ready to commit to a full embroidery project, this iron-on method is such a good shortcut.  Just embroider the flower heads for that hand-embroidered look in a fraction of the time.

This is hands down one of my favorite Cricut hacks for DIY denim. No fancy digitizing, no giant time investment, just Design Space, iron-on vinyl, a needle and thread, and jeans that look like they came straight off a boutique rack.

    This one hits different to write. 🥹 After years as This one hits different to write. 🥹 After years as a Chatbooks ambassador, this is my last post. The program is wrapping up at the end of June, and I wanted to make it count.

Because honestly? Our photo books are one of those things in our home that never get old. The kids pull them off the shelf constantly. They flip through them laughing, pointing, remembering. There's something about holding a real book of your actual life that no gallery app has ever come close to replacing for us. I can't imagine our home without them. The joy and happiness they've brought us is a feeling I want for your family.

So if you've been on the fence, now is genuinely the time. Use my code for 20% off to:
📖 Start a Monthly Books subscription (they make themselves basically. Create at the end of each month straight from your phone. So good for busy families)
🎁 Pre-order one to gift later this year (birthdays, holidays, they make the best gifts)

    If Italy was a t-shirt... 🇮🇹✨ I've been obsessed If Italy was a t-shirt... 🇮🇹✨

I've been obsessed with the European summer aesthetic, so I turned it into a stamp-inspired tee using @cricut DTF transfers. The best part? No weeding, no layering, and all those beautiful full-color details are ready to press right out of the package.

And not to worry, even if you don't have access to DTF prints. You can recreate the look with Iron-On.

This might be my favorite vacation shirt yet. ☀️🍋

With Father's Day around the corner, I wanted to put some of those memories together for the dad who is always right there in them. The bedtime stories, the backyard adventures, the cuddles, and all the everyday moments that end up meaning the most.

One thing I love is that you can choose from beautiful designer covers or make it even more personal by using a favorite photo on the cover. It feels like a snapshot of this season of life before you even open the book.
Because the best gifts aren't always things, they're memories we get to hold onto.

I made a collection of DIY Father's Day cards with matching coupons using my Cricut, because every dad deserves a gift made just for him. From the Fisherman and the BBQ King to Mr. Fix-It and the Suit Dad, there's a card for every kind of father.

The best part? Each card includes redeemable coupons for quality time, helpful favors, and little moments Dad will actually appreciate.

This was one of my favorite Cricut projects ever! I designed personalized travel journals complete with custom prompts, sticker sheets, and space to capture every memory from our adventure. Not only are they the perfect travel companion, but they also make such a thoughtful keepsake long after the trip is over.

If you're planning a girls trip this summer, family vacation, cruise, or European getaway, this is your sign to create a custom travel journal with your Cricut. The possibilities are endless, and it's such a fun way to make your trip even more memorable.

Would you use a travel journal on vacation? 🌍✨

 I used my Cricut to cut a custom vinyl monogram decal with a Greek key border design, and I am genuinely obsessed with how it turned out. Permanent outdoor vinyl on a hard-shell suitcase is one of those Cricut projects that looks expensive but takes about 20 minutes start to finish. No more circling the baggage carousel trying to spot our bags, ours is unmissable now.

Save this if your luggage needs a moment before your next trip.

    April in a little book. 📖 There's something about April in a little book. 📖

There's something about holding a month's worth of ordinary moments, the homeschool chaos, the Sunday morning light, the faces I want to remember forever, those little park outings, that makes me slow down in the best way.

My @chatbooks Monthly subscription is honestly the lowest-effort, highest-reward thing I do for our family. You take the photos anyway. The app just turns them into a book you can actually hold.
