I have had a WordPress blog for over five years. It was not anything fancy, but it was still hard to give up. I sat down one afternoon so very long ago with a tiny Liam in my lap and clicked 'Sign Up!' because I needed a place to ramble unchecked about my new life as a mother and to upload pictures of my boy without invading other people's spaces. I had no idea of all that would fill those pages. It was still waiting for me then. Now they are full and it is time to move on. Even though it is still there for me to read any time I want to, it feels a little bit like leaving something behind. It feels a little bit like saying good-bye to the early days of motherhood. I am six years and three kids into this gig now and even though I still rarely feel like I know what I am doing, I also don't feel so doe-eyed and innocent any longer. It is a little bit hard to move on from that.
I will admit that I am a selfish blogger. I generally forget that other people might read my words. When it is mentioned, I am always surprised and a little embarrassed. Then I have a thought and sit down to write it out, forgetting all over again that someone might read it one day. My blog does not aspire to greatness. It is a love letter to my children and a place for me to capture the ordinary moments that will one day be the backbone of their childhoods. It is a way for others to peek into our world if they so desire. It is also a way for me to ramble about the parts of my life that I find interesting and wonderful, terrible and challenging. That is all this is and all it ever will be. That is enough for me. Welcome.

WHO AM I?
I am Michelle: a wannabe hippie in love with a bonafide geek. We also spawned. I spend my days with our four wild, beautiful boy children and I overshare about our life online because I am a Millennial and that is what we do.
