I’m a wife, mom, and woman, (should woman be first?) who is coming up for air after fifteen years of child-rearing. I left my fellowship in a History PhD program after my first son was born and never looked back (except longingly and with rose-colored glasses). But, now I have four kids, ranging from the aforementioned 15 year old to a 5 year old.

I’ve always wanted to write. My husband has always encouraged me to follow my dreams. And, with my youngest in kindergarten, although not in the way that I had hoped, (she’s being homeschooled by me) I’ve determined that it’s now or never.

So. I’m putting the pen to the paper and the fingers to the keys. Join me as I journal my way to myself.
