Here I Am!

The cool thing about how I operate is that I don’t do false and I do not do sugar coating. I keep it real, in the good and in the uncomfortable. I like to think I do my best work on Front Street. The more awkward the better, and I strive in tough situations. 

I am an only child who was raised in Vermont, by two of the most wonderful parents any kid could ask for. Everything I do as a mother is modeled by how I was raised. I am constantly channeling my mom and dad in my own parenthood journey. 

When I was in middle school, I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I have been navigating and mastering my superpower ever since. Having OCD has added some extra flavor in all of my life's milestones. Embracing that flavor that has made me who I am today.

I met my husband nine years ago on a blind date through our close friends and we have been doing life together ever since. We have two beautiful and strong-willed children. Our oldest is four and our youngest is two. Just over a year ago, I made the choice to stay home with our kids and I have to say, it has been the most colorful experience of my life. 

It is important for me to candidly share my journey with other moms who are riding the same struggle bus. If I could change someone’s mind, make them laugh through the hard parts or even just give them a sense of community, I know that all my sarcasm and tears have finally been put to good use. 

Here I am, just an ordinary gal living in this crazy ass world, ready to give it to you straight. Life struggles, OCD, parenting and relationships- it’s coming at ya like verbal diarrhea and I don’t have time to be sorry about it. 

Love You, Mean It
