About me

Hi! Gosh, I’m so happy you are here. My name is Paige. I’m a wife to Steve, my best friend, love of my life, and college sweetheart. I’m an average midwest mother to two beautiful daughters who keep me on my toes each and every day. I love a good four wheeler ride through a wooded trail, a bonfire in the fall night, looking at stars by the river, floating and boating at the lake soaking up sunshine, and my favorite vacation spot in the snow covered mountains to ski. I enjoy making lists, organizing, cooking and baking, all things animals, snuggling up in a warm blanket with a book or a movie on the couch, puzzles, art and crafts. I am constantly learning and encompass health within my life in my household and nutrition. I dream of homesteading and raising our family on a lot of land and living in a house my dad and husband build. My true slice of heaven is anywhere my family is. And you are probably wondering why I started this blog and what to expect:

Back in 2020, the idea of a blog first came to me as a first time mom in the throes of the fourth trimester and peak of pandemic with a newborn wondering how many times I would have to Google in the wee morning hours the most random questions about what I was going through. The thought of a blog quickly fleeted …well… because it seemed too complicated in an already complicated and confusing phase of motherhood.

Fast forward to 2021, we were struggling with secondary infertility and our first miscarriage, I was looking for someone with experience similar to what we were going through; my search began online. I kept running into chat forums that were too vague without any end result. This felt very disheartening in an already lonely and defeating time in life. And honestly, at that time, I don’t think I had it in me to collect my thoughts within the dark fog of added hormones and letdown of each passing cycle.

Now, I know that the thought has been lingering to pursue this for some time, and I owe it to myself to give it a shot! So if you know me and this seems random; it’s really not. I’ve always enjoyed writing to some degree. My goal is to write as a positive and productive outlet of expression as well as to provide you with my experiences in hopes it can perhaps help you in some part of your journey. So here we go! I’ve created a space to share my story of all the honest and transparent details of the ins, outs, and in-betweens of motherhood.
