Well, here’s me. I have wanted to start a blog for years. The main thing holding me back has been… ME! I am an introvert and a people pleaser. Rough combination, I know. I have spent so many years worrying about what others think, that I am using this space as my path against that pattern, to fulfill something I feel, I left behind.
When I was younger, I wanted to be in the fashion industry. As a kid, my answer to the age-old question, what do you want to be when you grow up was a fashion designer. As I got older, my love for writing and storytelling grew and my artistic ability did not! I went to school for journalism with a minor in marketing. My goal was to work in public relations or for a big fashion publication. I am from a small town and I have always surrounded myself with family. My love for that topped any aspirations of a big city life. I have a 9-5 job in communications and marketing, but not in the industry I originally set out for, fashion and design.
I got married in 2014 to my favorite guy and we bought a Cape Cod home that needed updating. This home had room to grow and so we have invested time… and money, to make it our own. My husband and I fell in love with home renovations and décor the second we opened the door. My dreams for our home are endless.
Fast forward to 2017, after a lot of fertility and health struggles which is a story for another time, we had our beautiful daughter. Life quickly changed and our big decisions were no longer about us but her! In 2020, we had our son and we jumped full into parenthood with multiples. I love being a mom.
To all my working moms, it is HARD! I want to feel my time away is a value added. As a lot of moms, I am trying to figure out what brings me joy and energizes me to do and be better. I decided to finally start this dream of a blog to share what I have learned along the way and to share my favorite things with all of you.
Becoming a mom has been the best and brightest part of my life, for so many reasons. One being, it has made me feel like I can do anything “when I grow up!” Well, here we go!
