Hi There!

I'm a thirty-something mother who has grappled with perinatal depression. My mission statement is to speak out about my struggle, in gritty detail so that other mothers know that they are not alone. My mission is to speak the unspeakable. My objective is to paint a picture of a variety of motherhood experiences and to give voice to the complicated feelings that motherhood presents.

I'm interested in hearing your story. Together we can break the silence!

After a bunch of traveling we’re finally home-sweet-home for awhile. Today’s activity included the Immersive Monet Exhibit. Fascinating and appropriate for a wide variety of ages. I’d be curious to see what @carolyn.with.a.yn thinks of it!
If anyone is curious, we drove through the Arctic circle in snow storms and icy downhill driveways...with a Kia Picanto (basically the most compact Kia you can get). Our baby Kia had massive snow tires and only got stuck once, driving up the hill from the house which had iced over. Other accomplishments included getting passed by a Norwegian local driving a lime green Kia Soul. 🤦‍♀️ I learned a long time ago never to underestimate the Kia Soul @rachelwits @jennybrodie
On the winter solstice, Tromsø bakes 40,000 “solbolle” or sun buns to celebrate the appearance of the sun after two long, dark months. It’s almost like a sweet bagel, filled with vanilla cream and jam underneath it. The solstice was yesterday but we enjoyed some buns today as you can find them throughout January. #solstice #tromsø #norway #abovethearcticcircle
Though these pictures don’t do it any justice, we finally caught the #northernlights Compliments of my husband who stayed up late to finish a puzzle and @biglovemegs great photo skills! There are no words for such an amazing feat of nature. The show is indescribable. Now I know why one time is never enough. #chasingnorthernlights #norway #tromsø #auroraborealis
In Tromsø, the entire city/island has these tunnels. They cut through the entire city and house the largest parking “garages”. Today we parked, were greeted with sun buns and wandered through the light show to catch our boat to the Arctic Ocean. #tromsø #norway #arctic
