I am just like you, a mom…a fairly normal one (at times). I’m in my early 30’s, married with an almost 2 year old “spirited” son. An ex-cosmetic executive turned stay at home mom after an incredible night involving a tad too much wine. I have a degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology and spent almost half a decade working in the field until I realized that playing the role of G.I. Jane looks and feels way cooler in the movies.
I write 4th Trimester Cooking and ramblings of a super mom for myself, my family and other moms in need of a recipe or a laugh. I’d consider myself to be a long lost girlfriend you’ve never met. A fun (and hopefully funny) girlfriend writing about cooking, being a mom, and all of the fun (and mishaps) that come along with the job. I started writing before my son Gavin was even a thought but two months into his arrival, crying and searching for answers, I transitioned my then cookbook into an edgy novelty cookbook for moms. I use humor to describe the daily nuances of the most difficult job that any of us have ever had while also offering easy recipes for moms to cook for their families.
My inspiration is my son, the absolute light of my life (next to my dashing husband). I love being a mom and I love the bond that moms share with each other. I figure at the end of the day if I have made even one mom laugh then I have done well.
I spend entirely too much time on my new hobby (4TC) if you were to ask my husband or take a quick gander at the mound of laundry that is waiting in the hallway. It can sometimes be a bit like “Groundhog Day” being a SAHM. If I don’t manage to get something done one day I don’t fret because tomorrow it starts all over again and I’ll have the chance to tackle the laundry. Well, at least that is what I keep telling my husband 4 days later.
For any brand new moms, the best advice I can give is to believe in yourself, trust your own instincts and if you are truly lost don’t be afraid to ask questions because there is a sisterhood of us out there. There is no perfect mom. We are all perfect and unique in our own way.
