  • Balance and Bullshit

    If there is one thing I am learning, it is that achieving what I used to think balance was feels damn near impossible most times. I love listening to podcasts and a big one right now I am into is “We Can Do Hard Things” with Glennon Doyle. The episode I tuned into today featured…

  • Hello Friends!

    Holy shit…. I did it. I finally started my blog. Woop Woop! Ok, well here it goes…. the method to MY madness… I will ramble on about many things. Self-Journey (because when you peel away parenthood, who are we really? This is an answer I am really trying to find, mentally, physically, and emotionally). Prepare…

About Me….

Gee, where do I even begin? Is this section supposed to be about who I am as mother? A Wife? A friend? When you erase all the titles that make up my Resume of Life who am I really? I think this is something many parents struggle with. By the time we clock out of work, feed the fam, and tuck in the minions we are left with just enough energy to do some chores, read a chapter or watch an episode. Life isn’t structured for any of us to figure out who we really are, what our strengths and interests are, and what the point of our existence really is. This platform is being launched in an effort for me to have a digital space for me to vent, share tips and tricks, access my creative channels, reflect and connect with others.

For starters, I am a mother of three beautiful children and one angel baby. I am a wife to a semi-famous local celebrity, at least that’s how I think of her. I work in a career that is satisfying enough that I feel productive and smart at the end of the work day lol, but not satisfying enough that I don’t jump on indeed.com from time to time or dream what it might be like to stay home with the kids (for a hot minute, because no fucking way – all you stay at home parents deserve a million rounds of applause and several cocktails!), or open my own Nonprofit or Business and be my own Badass Boss. My children are EXTRA! But I suppose they all are in their own ways. My eldest is a high functioning Autistic and Visually Impaired Teen. He is an Old Soul who has a heart of gold, is thoughtful and always follows his morals. My middle child would crawl up my wife’s vagina and live in there if she could, but yet she is strong, savvy, and will either take down the world one day, or successfully and compassionately rule it. My youngest has a story like a blank canvas, with so much left to uncover and fill, but so far, we see an erupting personality with determination, humor, and a desire to always show affection. My wife is a badass who always values everyone’s differences, commands a room with her respect and confidence, and supports the people she loves through and through. She is a strong role model for young females and positively touches the lives of everyone she encounters. So, on to me, well let’s see …. isn’t it funny often us women, or us parents have more to say about others than we do ourselves? This is something in our society that calls for change. In short, I am Queer, I am a Mama and a Wife. I hold a master’s degree in business administration and a bachelor’s in Outdoor Recreation. I am passionate about creating gift baskets, crafts, embarking on mini adventures, concocting and sipping margaritas, eating, traveling, shopping, writing, nature, LGBTQ+ issues, and making people feel good about themselves and feel connected. Follow me, follow my journey, and let’s see where it brings us!

I am so happy you landed here! Welcome!
