My life is messy and chaotic and wonderful and full and sometimes maddening and I know a lot of you can relate. I have 4 amazing kids who have (mostly) grown up and flown the coop. Leaving this mama hen with a little more time on her hands to reflect, to write, to connect. I am a working mom. I run a couple of businesses and help my amazing man run his as well. I love to read, to spend time with family, to hike the beautiful trails here in Orange County and to eat all the carbs in bed and watch murder shows.
What Inspires Me?
Boss ladies for the win.
I wanted to start a blog to write my story and the stories of the amazing women around me. To give a voice to ladies who are usually playing a supportive role. I love seeing women at different stages of life than I am and doing things differently than I would because hearing their stories is how I learn and grow as a person. Hey there mama, living life in a totally different way than me- let’s be friends and hang out. I bet I can learn a lot from you. Show me who you really are- messy bun and sweatpants, dirty laundry in a pile on the couch, cat making a distinctive vomiting noise out in the hallway. I can relate to that person, I want to have coffee with that chick and laugh and commiserate. Don’t come here for perfection because you won’t find it.
Where my girls at?
It takes a freaking village.
I could never do this alone and even if I could I wouldn’t want to. I have had an amazing lady by my side for years through thick and thin. My right hand chick, Megan Block, and I have worked together for 10 years and she is a main contributor to the content of this blog. She’s a mama bird of two little chickadees- Emma and Kensey and a Disney super fan. She brings a different perspective and expertise to the site because she is at a totally different stage of motherhood than me and has a real time knowledge of all things elementary school and toddler (and everything Disney for sure). We will be showcasing other amazing women who we admire and respect on the blog as well. If you would like to be considered to contribute, give us a shout.
