YOU'LL FIND ME HERE.

I'm here but I'm not. I'm mostly lost and sometimes found.

The world doesn't need another blog about a girl. a woman trying to find her way. 

Through motherhood, worry, regret, confusion and dreams of a "happier" life. More PINTEREST lost hours. recipes and the endless collecting of books and ideas that might ...HELP. The search for meaning in a life chock full of meaning right in front of my eyes. 

Lord, why is it so hard to see?

Parenting regrets. Girlfriends i long to see but don't talk to.

Ideas and hopefully something for you to feel good about, plus a little honestly.


I'm here. 




This is me. Take from it what you will. 
Call me J.
