Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Jen—mom, maker, and founder of MAKE A GOOD MESS. This small business grew out of my real-life, everyday experiences parenting a neurodivergent child and trying to find tools that actually worked—not just once, but over time, and in the midst of real-life chaos.

Since starting in 2023 we have expanded our reach to in person events and partnering with local businesses that now carry our products in their brick and mortar storefronts.

In 2025 we expanded our personal love for volunteering with Free Mom Hugs to attend Pride festivals and events as an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community.  We are so grateful to be an ally and offer a “mom hug” too while attending these events representing our small business.

Whether you’re here for a sensory kit, fidget friend, activity ideas, or just a reminder that you’re not alone—I’m so glad you found us. I hope what we’ve created brings more calm, confidence, and connection to your home.

Let’s make a good mess together. 💛
