Mid-30s, travel-obsessed, tattooed nurse practitioner living in the Midwest. Wildly sarcastic, ridiculously proud aunt, mama to an angel in heaven and the most perfect little boy, Porter George, born June 2021. Career woman by default, fiercely independent, mildly introverted, and happily single. I used to be pretty cool, traveling the world by myself, kicking a$$ at my career, and going on waaaaay more first dates than I'd like to admit. Now, I'm covered in baby snot, constantly running late to everything, barely keeping things together most days, and 100% obsessed with being a mom. It feels like I'm finally doing what I was meant to do and every day, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to love & parent my amazing son.
Speaking of my son, Porter is pretty much the most amazing little human I've ever met! He arrived in a very intense and unmedicated 6.5 hours early in June 2021, which was hands-down the most amazing day of my life. I'm not sure what I did to deserve such a wonderful little boy, but he's truly a dream child: happy, easygoing, smart, and adorable. His huge blue eyes will melt your heart if his sweet smile doesn't get you first. He's obsessed with his Papaw, gives his big cousin a huge smile every time he sees him, loves his daycare teachers so much, and has the most infectious giggle when Mama kisses his chubby belly.
My personality in general is straight-forward and honest; therefore, my blog will be no different. It will likely be messy and uncomfortable at times. I will be sharing my life as a solo mom by choice and may bore a lot of people with the overload of mom-talk (disclaimer: my thoughts and opinions are just that...mine. They do not reflect the views or stance of my employer). I make no apologies for my imperfection and hope that by sharing bits of myself, I can gift the world with a small piece of authenticity; there's way too many pretentious people in the world, so I refuse to be one of them.
Thank you for sharing in this mess. Please feel welcomed, seen, and loved in your imperfection!
