Welcome to Just Kari Onβ€”where I navigate motherhood one diaper blowout at a time. It’s chaos, cuddles, and a lot of crying (sometimes hers, mostly mine). This is real mom life, served with humor, heart, and zero sleep.

Happy 1st Birthday to my beautiful daughter, Ava.

This past year with you has been nothing short of incredible. Becoming your mom has been the greatest joy of my life, and every day with you feels like a gift. Your bubbly personality, curious spirit, and expressive little claps bring so much light into our home. You have a way of making everyone around you smile.

Watching you grow, learn, and become more you over this first year has been pure magic. Thank you for choosing me. I am endlessly grateful to be your mom. Happy first birthday, sweet girl.

This year changed everything. πŸ’› I became a mom on January 19, and hours later faced my biggest fear with severe preeclampsia. Coming that close to death changes how you live. I finished my master’s, grew Mikari Designs, and found more balance than ever, but nothing compares to motherhood. Especially with a bubbly, chatty baby and the best partner by my side. It turns ordinary days into something sacred. Grateful, grounded, and living fully. ✨

Happy 80th Birthday to my amazing Grandma Margaret-Rose πŸ’›

An incredible chef who worked at multiple hotels, a woman who got up early every morning to do what she loved, and someone whose passion and work ethic I’ve always admired. She has a true love for travel and adventure and made sure my brother and I experienced the world right alongside her.

She taught me so much about independence, resilience, and dreaming big, and she played a huge role in making sure I could come all the way to America to go to college. I am endlessly grateful for her sacrifices, guidance, and love.

Cheers to 80 beautiful years and a lifetime of memories still to come ✨

I hope my daughter looks at the relationship between her dad and me and learns this: the love of her life will hold up a magnifying glass to her light, helping her shine even brighter. Someone who supports her dreams, encourages her goals, brings her peace, and makes space for joy so big she dances in the middle of the day, just because she’s happy. πŸ’›

I baked cookies while rocking to Elvis in the kitchen.
