Joan Caballero – a personal blog

Meet me and my family!!

(L to R: Luna, Jose, Lucas, Frank, Me, Allegra, Lily)

My name is Joan, I’m 36 years old (37 in June this year), I have 5 kids and a cavoodle living in Sydney, Australia. I always get asked “how do you do it all?”, that is, run a business, raise 5 kids and still have time to do other things I enjoy like travel, go to the gym, eat at my favourite dinner spots, and work on my Tiktok page.

The truth is, sometimes I don’t even know myself but I wanted to start this year documenting my life and give some top tips, in the hopes it helps other parents out there realise that we’re all going through the same struggles with our partners and we’re all fighting the same battles with our little humans. 

I have alot of mum friends who think they’re going through the trenches alone but believe me, I’ve been through it all with my eldest son being (almost) 20 years old and my youngest at 4 and a half! I promise you there’s more good days than bad!!

I used to journal alot when I was a teen and throughout my twenties but for some reason, in my thirties I’ve stopped. But now I’m back and bringing it online. I’m not a professional at parenting – that is, I don’t have a degree, masters or PHD in whatever University course teaches this – but I do have 20 years of experience and I think that’s basically the same thing.

I hope this blog entertains you but more importantly, I hope this blog gives you hope that if you’re struggling with babies, young toddlers or even teenage kids, that phase won’t last forever and with a little bit of tequila and a whole lot of community, we can get through it together.

Whilst my Tiktok account (@joancaballero_) can only share small parts of my day and my family, this blog will really go in depth about our life, our travels and travelling tips, my favourite recipes parenting tips and so much more.

Feel free to write me a comment or send me an email and I hope you stick around for this journey!
