I’m a doctor but I’m not that kind of doctor.
I’m an early-thirties working mom to a preschooler. I’m a horse and dog lover. Political scientist by trade. I conduct applied research and data analysis for a university center by day and blog about things I care about whether they be political, feminist, or just good tips for working parents whenever I have spare time.
You will find in my blog a mis-mosh of things that are neither twee nor perfect as neither would describe me nor my life as a whole. If you wanted the Manic Pixie Dream Mom lifestyle blog full of macaroons and tips on bento boxes, this is not the place for you. I love to cook and bake but am always tired. I live on coffee and my kid lives on whatever I’m eating plus whatever toddler snacks and pouches Aldi sold last week. I will make you the best prime rib or cocoa stout you’ve ever had but I’m not going to pretend it all happened without some choice adult language.
I don’t pretend anything I do is effortless. It takes a village. My sociologist husband, my wonderful daycare provider, and my sweet in-laws are that village.
