start here
Welcome!
I started writing about motherhood shortly after my son James was born in 2002. My blog Mommy Musings became reflections and stories, celebrating motherhood, and its resulting conundrums. A labor of love and culmination of my best work, I released my first book: Mommy Musings: Lessons on Motherhood, Love, Life.
For 18+ years, I recorded and reflected upon days with my son. Now, I am recording and reflecting upon the small moments of my life. Elements of mindfulness is the next step and it’s about the power of bringing wisdom, clarity, and purpose to writing and life.
Here are some highlights:
- Mommy Musings book
- Best of motherhood
- Some thoughts on how to write better
- How mindfulness can make us happier
- Letting go of my teenager
