WHY I BLOG

My name is Stephanie.

I’m a Senior Marketing Manager for Starwood Hotels & Resorts and a mother of two. I have a baby boy, Colton, and a three-year old diva daughter named, Kelsey. My husband is a rockstar (in my eyes) and together we are raising one crazy little family.

I wear many hats as a mom. We all do.

I wanted to start a blog about those hats. When to take them off. When to put them on. When to find time to wash them. This is a blog about finding balance between happy hours, play dates and conference calls.

Motherhood is hard. Tough, really. But with the love of God, family, friends and my amazing partner in crime, Ryan, I’m figuring it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Could I ask you for a favor? I’m working on an idea to help mothers manage their day-to-day errands. Our goal is to help manage & optimize their day. Would you mind giving me some feedback?

    Btw, I’m glad you chose to share your many different “hats” by creating this blog. We all put on a mask in one way or another, and it’s always nice to see that I’m not alone in this adventure of life.

    I really like the photo you chose for your blog. It fits in a vintage-modern way. It fits like a hat.
