Things I write about.

Food. Health. Life. 50+ Industries as a marketing copywriter.

Being a Mama (31 years experience).

Theme Learning.  Something I did when my oldest were small without much direction.  Now just delving back into it and have found so many wonderful resources that I decided I wanted this to be part of my blog as well. I also teach a weekly Baby Science class locally.

My blog is about the mama experience.  Which cannot ever be cornered into one thing or job or type.

Probably you will never see Pinterest-worthy photos up here, you will see a lot of color, busy, and chaos.  I am not into the whole #momtruth thing – but those moms that do – keep doing you – you make my day brighter.  Just a veteran mom that decided to restart this whole wild ride for the third time, and feeling a little worn out, overwhelmed, stressed out, and my own vibe being swallowed by my mom vibe.

I am a writer who usually writes about everything else. You know the stuff that pays the bills or got me a good grade as a non-traditional college student for over 7 years. #collegewhilebeingamom  Now I just want to write for me.  If someone is watching, great, if not, great too.  I have promised myself to write, truly write, for most of my life.  It is time to jump in and see where this takes me.  I might as well take you along with me.
