About me

I am a mother to two wonderful children and married to an Ironman that has helped me grow and develop into the person I am today. I am an all around crafter, novice runner, and an oddball. I love to read and write, sew, knit/crochet, sing and dance with my children and am currently training for my first mini marathon.

I have been a labor and delivery nurse since 2008 and am quite passionate at what I do. I work with very high risk OB patients, and LOVE what I do. It’s my professional goal in life to help bring babies into the world naturally in a very medical environment. I’m in the middle of preparing to go back to school to further my nursing degree and eventually plan to work towards becoming a nurse practitioner.

My free time is spent up keeping my century plus old home, entertaining my children, cooking, cleaning, running, crafting and blogging.  I currently have two blogs (I am such a dork), one of which is all professional and pregnancy related (therealityofpregnancy.wordpress.com).

Hopes and dreams include another month long excursion to Ireland, to be an NP, learn to ride a bike, do a sprint triathlon, to beat my first half marathon time by ten minutes or so, run a full marathon someday, and to help my children grow into the best possible person they can be.
