About us

Tubes & Tantrums is a blog dedicated to sharing the honest and heartfelt stories of a mom navigating the challenges of tube-feeding and toddlerhood. Join us as we embrace the chaos with love, laughter, and a little bit of chaos.

Life doesn’t come with a manual—especially when you're raising a medically complex child.

I started Tubes & Tantrums to share the raw, real, and often emotional moments of raising my son, AJ.

Born early and now tube-fed, AJ is full of energy, emotion, and curiosity. While he’s still learning how to communicate, his feelings speak volumes—and sometimes come out in loud, messy, unexpected ways. Between tantrums, tube feeds, therapy sessions, and tiny victories, we’re finding our way as a family.

This blog is our story—meant for moms like me, caregivers, and anyone who believes in showing up even when life gets hard. It's about the chaos, the courage, and the love that keeps us going.

💙 Thanks for showing up -
