Life & Motherhood

The beautiful, funny, exhausting parts of raising a family—and figuring myself out along the way.

Life, motherhood, and everything around it.

Motherhood changed almost everything about my life, but it didn’t erase the person I was before it. Here I write about raising little kids, marriage, leaving the classroom, finding my way through different seasons, and the pieces of myself I’m still figuring out along the way.

Sometimes it’s meaningful. Sometimes it’s a three-year-old losing her mind because the yogurt touched the granola. Usually it’s both.
