Since 2013, the Nesting Story blog has been a place where real life was shared long before it was trending. What began as a small corner of the internet with a simple hope… if I could give other moms a glimpse into my home, maybe they would feel less alone… grew into one of the original mom blogs, reaching millions of women around the world. Through honest storytelling about motherhood, home life, identity, and reinvention, Nesting Story has helped countless mothers feel seen, understood, and less isolated in their own experiences. What started as a personal outlet became a trusted space for connection, conversation, and community that continues to evolve alongside the women who read it.
There are seasons in life when everything looks fine from the outside… but internally something has shifted. Your life technically works.The boxes are checked.The responsibilities are handled. And yet something doesn’t quite fit anymore. I know that feeling well. Over the past…
I stood in my kitchen yesterday after running errands with my teenagers, and I could feel it… the overwhelm. My God, was I overstimulated. I elbowed my way through the kitchen, trying to pull together a far-too-late lunch for myself. One teen…
Co-parenting at Christmas can feel like a puzzle… one with a lot of emotions, logistics, and moving pieces. Between Ben and I, we have five kids, and over the years we’ve learned that the holidays can be both beautiful and complicated. Today,…
If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the middle of your day… your home, your to-do list, your relationships… and thought, “How did everything get so heavy?”You’re not alone. Women carry a mental load that stacks quietly, layer after layer, until suddenly…
When we first walked through this house, there were a few features that made me stop in my tracks, and this little office nook was one of them. Tucked just off our bedroom, it immediately felt like the perfect place for me…
Storytime…Did I ever tell you about the time Ben and I went for one of our home walk-throughs and looked up to find a giant hole in the roof of the house we were just about to close on? Yep. That happened.…
I am home. My tattoo has never felt more true. Nearly 43 and remarried to my absolute soulmate, living in a full house with five kids and two dogs… I finally feel like I’ve arrived. I’m living intentionally because I’m with someone…
In my last post, I shared the story of our wedding day… how Ben and I, against all odds, found each other, blended our families, and celebrated with 30 of our closest loved ones. Today, I want to dive into the details:…
Ben and I never expected to find our soulmates. In fact, neither of us thought we’d get married again. But within weeks of our very first date, we both knew. Marriage wasn’t a maybe anymore… it was inevitable. The Universe seemed to…
After Ben and I got married in the fall (I’ll share more about that soon), it feels like I’ve been hit by one wave after another. Just when I manage to get my head above water… BOOM, another one comes crashing down.…
If you’re here, chances are you’re in a season of transition, or standing on the edge of one.
Maybe you’re a mother trying to balance career, identity, and family without disappearing in the process. Maybe you’re rebuilding after a major life shift… divorce, burnout, reinvention, aging, or starting again. Maybe you’re craving clarity, steadiness, and a way forward that doesn’t require burning everything down.
Through workshops, one-on-one support, and ongoing storytelling here on Nesting Story, I help women slow down, get honest about what’s actually happening in their lives, and figure out how to move forward — practically, sustainably, and on their own terms.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you find yourself where you are.
