I started using instagram stories in earnest when my daughter Remi was born, as the balance that I had been teetering to maintain with one small child immediately catapulted into untenable now that there were two.
My stories became sardonic but loving snapshots of the daily juggle to maintain some semblance of balance between work, children, health and marriage.
Writing has always afforded me with the outlet to make sense of the world by tying series of events into neat little packages with beginnings, middles and most importantly, endings. The instagram story application was like my beloved five paragraph essay structure, but with media!
I created this blog because while the stories made me laugh and able to reconnect with friends that were having parallel experiences, I wanted to dig a little deeper into the impossibility of what we are undertaking as 30-something’s with outdated precedents and short support systems.
I needed to make sense of life and I hope in doing so, you find some solace too.
