About Me

Hello!

 

My name is Natalie and I’m a SAHM to 2 teenagers who are almost ready to fly the nest! 😟

 

I’M NOT CURRENTLY ACTIVE ON THIS SITE as I’m taking a break from writing to focus on my last years as the head of child development in my household, and building my baby business @MSLBags…

 

…but I’m keeping my site up because I think there’s a lot of helpful stuff for other Moms who might be struggling with this role like I did, and still do.

 

If you found my page, I imagine that you are also a SAHM, and I just wanna say- STAY A MINUTE! You found me for a reason…

 

MAYBE THERE  IS A MESSAGE YOU WERE MEANT TO FIND ON THIS PAGE.

 

So take a look around!
