Hi there! Welcome to Verified Mom!
I started this blog as a way to release my creative side. I’ve always enjoyed writing but since I became a mom, I’ve sort of lost some of that creative spirit. I am using this blog as a way for me to “find my voice” and rediscover what I enjoy doing and who I am as a person, not just a mom. I’ve been married since 1995 and we have three children ages 19, 22 & 25. We have two furry family members who love to lay around and sleep, much like me on my days off! I love to travel and I don’t think I do enough of that. I live with and deal with anxiety daily. I have lost my edge since becoming a stay-at-home mom 25 years ago. I love having garage sales (I make killer dough with them), couponing (because kids are expensive), shopping (because kids grow constantly), hosting parties {though I never seem to have many anymore}, going to movies, and of course, baking and cooking for my family. I am a HUGE reality tv junkie and consider myself to be a Real Housewife minus all the glitz and glamour. Big Brother is my favorite summer guilty pleasure reality show! I also found a new lover for my crystals, essential oils, oracle cards, and meditation! I think I’m becoming slightly woo-woo!
I have many aspirations; to be an organized mom/person, to love exercising (HA), and to travel the world.
What can you expect to read here? I will be sharing just about every area of my life in its current state. I will also share local events, product reviews, all my (attempted) DIY projects, my many attempts at being organized, and of course, my journey with relationships and parenting.
