A lot has changed since I last wrote here and it’s about time I came back.

The type of blogging I fell in love with no longer really exists. Blogs are now for selling, which is meh to me. I get it, get that bag, but I love stories. I love being nosey, reading about people’s lives. That’s the blogging I fell in love with and the type of blogging I plan on bringing back to this page.

Since my last post, I’ve had another baby. On April 15, 2022 we welcomed Franklin Shawn into our little family! Since then, I’ve been raising little besties. Seriously, my two boys spend every moment of everyday together and our lives are pure chaos, and I mostly wouldn’t have it any other way.

In February of 2022 I left my the job I had been at for 3.5 years, to try and help the planet at a tech company. Well, I was laid off in May 2023 because ya know, tech companies not making money.

Since then, I’ve been at home with my boys. Joe left manufacturing to go back to being a chef in 2022 and recently found a great opportunity. It’s been great to see him thrive in what he loves. I am so happy that he got back to doing his thing, and I’m beyond grateful that he’s working so hard to support our family while we try to figure out my next steps.

While I’ve always admired mommy bloggers, I never expected to be a full time stay at home mom. My mom did it for several years and I loved it, so I thought I would love doing it for my kids. For some reason, I feel like being with them constantly with no (paid) distractions, has made me a less present mom. I’m sure the mommy blogger I so admired had similar struggles, hell they probably even had paid help, but I’m struggling to be the best mom to my kids and have been since May.

With the job market the way it is, especially for remote marketing jobs, I’ve been considering alternative careers. It’s hard, I’m 29 and I love what I do. I don’t want to start from square one. At the end of the day, I need to do something. I’ve learned that in order for me to feel like the best mom I can be, I need to be working. I need to do something for my own mental health.

So. here I am. I’m here to make my grand return to blogging. Who knows what I’ll cover this time around. It’s been a nearly a decade of me writing on and off. Over the years I’ve taken posts that don’t resonate with me down, especially from that year I wrote every singe day-yikes. I feel like it’s time for me to rediscover this side of me.

Here’s what you can definitely expect: marketing crap because for real that shit is changing constantly, mom stuff because that’s my day in and day out right now, and obviously my word vomit because that’s what I’ve always done.

Who knows how long this will last, but I am still paying yearly for my WordPress subscription, so I might as well make the most of this! If there’s anything that anyone (I’m not sure who’s still there) would like to see, as always, I’m open to suggestions.

If you are still there, thanks for sticking this shit out with me.
