Mom stress and parenting burnout are real. Raising kids is not for the faint of heart. Especially when everyone on the internet has an opinion about the million urgent things you must do perfectly in order to get it right. (They’re wrong, by the way). But that’s not what we’re about. We’re about you. About helping you preserve and protect yourself, create a calm home, and live your best life while navigating the beautiful chaos that comes with kids.

Zen at the Zoo is a space for parents who love their kids deeply — but also just need a moment of peace.
We’re not here to preach or pretend we have it all together. We’re here to help you find calm in the chaos of parenting. Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, managing your own anxiety, or just trying to carve out a moment of peace between snack requests, spilled juice, or moody teenagers, this site is your soft landing.
Created by a real parent in the thick of it, Zen at the Zoo offers thoughtful, research-backed articles with a side of humor and honesty. We focus on practical, realistic self-care, mental health support, and family wellness ideas that actually work for busy parents. You’ll find product roundups, stress-busting routines, sleep solutions, and tips for building a calmer, more peaceful home—not perfection, but presence.
At its heart, this site exists because parenting is hard, and you shouldn’t have to do it alone.
You deserve rest, resilience, and a community that gets it. Zen at the Zoo is here to help you breathe a little easier.
