Welcome friends!!!!

Where I’ve been & how I got there

I’m a momma to 5 beautiful human beings. I started my parenthood journey at 19 years old, a single mom fresh out of high school. My story is a LONG one so I will keep it short for you, but I got married young, had loads of infertility issues-thanks to endometriosis, Hashimotos, and PCOS (it took 10 years to have my 2nd baby), then I had a 3rd baby and bam, got divorced in the fourth trimester. I navigated single parenthood once again, this time with 3 kids in tow, all while working full time and running a part time business. I met my current husband 7 years ago, we got married and we have 2 more beautiful children in our 40’s. We live as a blended family where we navigate the crazy world of raising kids, co-parenting, living on one income, having an adult child out of the house, teenagers, toddlers and babies! OH MY! It’s a crazy chaotic mess, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world!! Welcome to the shitshow, and I hope something here gives you hope, insight, advice or maybe just makes you feel not so alone.

I’ve always wanted to be a blogger, like my whole adult life and I finally took the plunge after navigating the Instagram world sort of by accident and becoming a content creator. So here we are. I run a photography business part time and now i’m trying my hand at blogging!! I’m an open book and as long as you are kind, all are welcome here. XOXO Tara
