My Life
So I thought my first blog post should kinda show off my personality and also really have you get to know me and what type of mom, wife and woman I am. I live in San Diego with my husband Brad and our 2 kids, Audrey (almost 7) and Luke (3 1/2) … (anyone who tells you terrible twos are bad, has not had a 3 year old yet!) I went to college in San Francisco to get my nursing degree and have been a Labor and Delivery nurse for 13 years. It is a love and a passion of mine to bring new life into the world. I have lost both of my parents to cancer at a pretty young age and that has definitely defined my life as a person. I will absolutely be doing blog posts on what is like to be a mom without having your mom here and how I have navigated grief over the years. I have a sister who is my best friend and I surround myself with like minded moms who give me laughs, sanity and validation in motherhood. My kids are wonderful, crazy, full of life, smart, sassy and annoying all at the same time . I never in a million years thought being a mom would be so challenging. I have days where I love it and think I have everything under control and other days where I want to just scream. I have plenty of moments that I feel totally inadequate and plenty where I think wow I was a pretty awesome mom today. My husband and I have a great marriage but man it takes work to keep it great! I plan to talk about that as well. I would love to share easy recipes, fun things to do with your kids, date night ideas, fitness goals, cute Target and Amazon finds and so much more with my readers. I really want my blog to become a safe space to talk about motherhood in a real, non judgmental way. I will tell you right now, sometimes I do not like being a mom at all and I think more people need to hear that and know they are not alone. I hope you will follow me on this new journey. Let’s see where it goes!
