About Me

Have you ever been in a meeting with a bunch of strangers, and someone says, “Let’s go around the room, and everyone can share something interesting about themselves!” And then you panic because there is absolutely nothing interesting about you at all? That’s how I feel writing an “About Me” section. Clearly, this is illogical, because I am obviously writing a blog about myself, but what can I say? Being rational has never been my strong suit. Sooooo, here goes…..

I am a solo mom of three girls. The oldest is finishing her sophomore year of college. The two youngest are twins who are proud first graders. The age gap makes me question my own sanity. I love being their mom, and yet, I would be lying if I didn’t admit that the struggle is monumentally real at times. I am confident that my parenting is going to land them all in therapy sooner rather than later.

I have been writing for my entire life; it is my favorite hobby. I am, however, my own worst critic, so I question how much I want to share with other people. I wonder how others will judge me. I ask myself if I am brave enough to be brutally honest about my own weaknesses. And yet, here I am, baring my soul to anyone who happens to want to read about it. Writing is a way for me to make sense of things. I truly think that many moms don’t share their experiences and feelings because they are afraid of how others may react. I am hopeful that this will be a place to connect with others who aren’t afraid to admit that parenting is really, really hard.

Whether you are laughing with me or crying with me, let’s be friends. I am just glad you are coming along for the ride.
