Pumpkins at Harvest-Time

Oh, Autumn, how I love thee. Whenever October rolls around something magical happens to me … the clean, crisp air; the kaleidoscope of colors; the aromas of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and harvest-time; the early sunsets and ancient evenings; the giddy…

Harvest Moon, Sept. 20, 2021

The Leaves Will Fall Again

About This Site

This blog isn’t solely about parenting. Yes, I’m a stay-at-home mom but I wear many other hats: wife, sister, daughter, chef, baker, chauffer, personal shopper, party planner, cleaning lady, customer service and marketing manager for a local insurance agency, the list is endless. I live so much in my own head and writing is my therapy. I’ve been craving an open, honest, and nonjudgmental outlet for those thoughts, and this blog is it. Why not just keep a journal? Because knowing there are other moms out there going through my same experiences lifts my spirits and motivates me to stay strong. And if I can help and maybe even inspire these women or make them laugh while fulfilling my dream, well, then, that’s a wonderful thing!
