Camareno-Chaos

08/24/2026

Maybe it’s pregnancy. Maybe it’s just me getting older. 😂 But I’m sitting here at Chick-fil-A, Inc. watching my kids play, and I’m getting a little teary-eyed.
I’m so incredibly grateful for these 4.5 amazing children I get to call mine. I get to watch them grow, love them through every season, and help guide them as they’re molded in God’s image. And sometimes, in the middle of the everyday chaos, it hits me just how incredibly blessed I am.
This year feels different. My three oldest will all be in school, and I’m excited for them, But I’m also nervous.
I pray they’re treated with kindness. I pray they have good friends. I pray they’re brave enough to stand up for what’s right. And most of all, I pray they treat others with the same kindness and love I hope they receive.
summer ending always feels a little bittersweet. It feels like closing a chapter of the best book I’ve ever read. A chapter filled with late nights, messy kitchens, swimming, baseball, little voices calling “Mom,” and more chaos than I could ever put into words.
And I know there are so many more beautiful chapters ahead.
I just wish, for a minute, I could slow this one down. Dusty Camareno

Nothing like front yard summer ball Junk Ball wins with the best wiffleballs and bats around

Every day all summer long there are about 12 boys over playing wiffle ball. They probably break one ball a week. Last night they ended a game with half of a ball. This morning I contacted The Fun Company - Leipsic , Stacey, and asked what they had. I bought two, and she donated two. Small town shops are amazing! Btw the fun company is closed on Tuesdays! What amazing service!!

The boys broke one of the four already tonight. But we have spares 😂.

I almost didn’t take the test.
I’d been feeling awful for a few days—like I was coming down with the flu while trying to juggle work, the kids, and life. When I saw the very last pregnancy test in the cabinet, I thought, “What are the odds?”
So I took it.
Those two lines showed up almost instantly.
My heart sank.
At the time, I had a 7-month-old baby. We were already in the thick of diapers, sleepless nights, and the beautiful chaos of raising four kids. Another baby was the last thing I expected.
I walked to Dusty Camareno with tears in my eyes. I was scared. Overwhelmed. My mind was racing through every “what if.”

I cried…

…and he just chuckled.

Not because he didn’t care, but because he already knew something I couldn’t see yet—that we’d figure it out. Just like we always had.

Looking back, I smile at that moment. While I was imagining everything that could go wrong, he was already seeing another little person to love.

Motherhood has taught me that sometimes joy doesn’t arrive first. Sometimes fear walks in before joy has a chance.

And that’s okay.

This page is about our family’s real, messy, beautiful chaos. This was one of those moments I’ll never forget—and now I can’t imagine our family without our fifth little blessing coming this fall. 🤍

When people say it takes a village. My family has always been number one but then you find a neighbor who loves your kids like their own. And buys fancy clearance Jammie’s to make them match.
