Hello and Welcome to Chaos & Wine! Let me tell you a little about me!
I’m April, a stay-at-home mom of 4 amazing boys including two teenagers and a set of twins….and no, I’m not trying for a girl! We live in a small town in Minnesota, where two of my boys go to school while the twins are homeschooled. We love traveling, cooking, and going on adventures as a family! My house is full of chaos! Here are a few things about me in a nutshell and a bit about what you can expect from Chaos & Wine…
Get to Know Me
I’m a boy mom! 4 boys to be exact including a set of twins!
While I’ve been cooking since I was a child and learned from my mother and grandmother, I am Not a photographer so while sometimes my photos are seriously amazing it’s sheer luck or I bribed a photography friend with food and wine to help me!! I learned to cook from my grandmother and my mother and have continued to enjoy cooking for my own family!
I love homeschooling and sharing our homeschooling adventures and themes! I’ve been homeschooling one or more of the boys for over 5 years now and we plan to continue!
I’m a foodie – I love new recipes, trying different foods, and experimenting in the kitchen! At the same time, I usually make kid-friendly things! Chaos & Wine has been featured on MSN as well as the Food Network!

UPDATE: In July of 2024, I decided to pass on my blog to a dear colleague of mine, Marina Sestan. She will continue my blog and this journey with her own style and family favorites. I am sure you will like her food as much as you did mine.
