Whining, Wine-ing & Winning

Hello friends, I’m Lindsay.

I am a 40-something mom of a teenager and a toddler – what better mix of emotions could you ask for?

I live in a bubble of puberty and “two-berty.” It’s exhausting, emotional, and not quite the shit show you’ll find on Netflix…although I’m fairly certain I could have my own documentary that would make the Top 10 for good parenting laughs.

I am FAR from polished.

I love sports – all Colorado teams over here (hopefully I haven’t lost you). I yell at the Broncos offense like they can hear me through the TV, and I try very hard not to let the accidental F-bomb slip out in front of the toddler. Personal growth.

Most of my days are spent chasing a tiny human, attempting to teach basic life skills, and preserving what’s left of my sanity. I turned to blogging because, most of the time, the gibberish and random words I get back in conversation aren’t exactly meeting my emotional support needs.

We have a beautifully blended family over here. It runs on teamwork, love, flexibility, and a healthy sense of humor – because that’s what it’s all about (hokey pokey version). From the BEST Bonus Mom, to the BEST dads, we do our best to keep things running smoothly. It’s messy, loud, occasionally chaotic…and somehow still pretty badass.

This is my safe space where I share real motherhood. I try to keep the house somewhat under control, bellies full, and a welcoming place for my husband to land after a long day – and I’m honest about the wins and the nights when dinner isn’t ready and we order pizza instead.

You may find the occasional foul language here, but it’s the stuff I can’t let the little ears hear.

So settle in and enjoy the ride -it’s time to wine-d down.
