Hey! So Glad You're Here.

 Have you ever had something happen in your life and as you navigate through you think to yourself, there is no way I am the only one? It is that precise feeling that planted the seed for what started out as a small personal passion project to help work through whatever was coming my way. There is something electrifying about being real, raw, and vulnerable so openly. It is not for everyone, and I get that, but for me, it reminded me how gratifying writing is. To have the ability to create a moment for you to experience along side of me simply with words is fulfilling. My Newest Normal came to bloom when I realized that just when you think you have it all figured out, something new sprouts and you are back to learning how to navigate all over. Reflecting back on big moments, little moments, and adventures good or bad that I have encountered and reliving those memories while creating and collecting stories for you to enjoy is something I hope will be treasured.

​

When it comes to who I am, maybe you can help me figure that out. There are so many versions of me that I am just trying to embrace as well as honor as I continue to learn and grow through life.  I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona with my mom but spent summers on the east coast where my entire family lived. Ironically, I grew up and married a man who was plucked from New York and transplanted to the wild wild west as well. My husband and I could not have been more opposite when we started talking. Through dating, marriage, and becoming parents we have discovered that the weaknesses of one happen to be the strengths of the other and we have mastered the art of balancing each other out quite nicely. He is driven, high strung, and values the root of traditions. His strength is unmatched and underneath the tough exterior he is the perfect mixture of sentimental meets tough love. Through some trying times we were able to accomplish the dream of growing our family. We have two incredible boys that have changed everything we thought we knew about true love. They are my world and I have embraced my boy mom era with every hot wheels I take to the head.

​

I walk on the boarder of terrified to give anything a go and knowing that at my core I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. Your life is as good as your mindset, and I make a conscious effort to wear my rose-colored glasses with every outfit. I learned change is inevitable and embracing it and writing through it has given me the drive to nurture My Newest Normal and embrace the untapped potential it may have. This adventure has uncovered an entire village of people who either could relate to something I was going through or were just along for the ride to learn from me, learn with me, or even just laugh alongside me. This is something I will be forever grateful for! Find your people and cherish them deeply!
