Hello, I’m Sharlene!
I’m a 24-year-old first-time mom with a deep passion for cooking. My journey in the kitchen began at the age of 13 when my mom, who worked long hours, put me in charge of the kitchen while my dad was deployed in the military. Growing up on a military base taught me resilience and independence, and cooking became my way of taking charge in the kitchen. I fondly remember watching 30-Minute Meals with Rachael Ray as a little girl, dreaming of one day making delicious meals for my own family.
Now, as a mom to a sweet little boy and a wife to my husband Terry (who I’ve been with since I was 16), my love for cooking has only grown. I’m also a graduate with a degree in political science and used to work as a tax consultant before stepping into the role of full-time mom. We also have lovable pug named Luna and she’s the sweetest companion!

Why Good Enough Moming?
Good Enough Moming was born out of my own struggles with perfectionism, especially during my postpartum period. I quickly realized that trying to maintain an immaculate home and stick to rigid routines while adjusting to motherhood just wasn’t sustainable. I needed a change, a way to embrace imperfection and still feel accomplished at the end of the day.
Through this journey, I developed simple systems that worked for me, even when they weren’t perfect. I let go of the pressure to be the “perfect” mom, cook, or homemaker. Instead, I focused on creating a home environment where everyone felt comfortable and happy, including myself.
Good Enough Moming is all about finding balance, creating simple yet effective routines, and learning to embrace imperfections in every aspect of life. I want to show other moms, especially first-time moms like me, that they don’t need to do it all or do it perfectly to create a fulfilling life. Sometimes, “good enough” is exactly what we need.
Check Out My YouTube Channel
In addition to sharing my journey here on the blog, I’ve recently launched my YouTube channel! As a first-time mom, I wanted to create a space where I can share real, practical advice and tips for navigating mom life. On my channel, I’ll be talking about everything from easy meal prep and time-saving cooking hacks to home organization tips and real-life mom moments.
The idea for my YouTube channel came from my desire to connect with other moms, especially those who, like me, are trying to balance it all without the pressure to be perfect. I’m excited to share behind-the-scenes moments of motherhood, as well as offer simple, actionable tips to make everyday tasks a little easier. Whether it’s a new recipe, a day-in-the-life vlog, or an organizational hack, my goal is to inspire and encourage other moms who are just trying to make it through the day with a smile.
I hope my channel helps you feel supported, understood, and empowered on your own motherhood journey. Check it out and don’t forget to subscribe for weekly videos!
