Next Chapter Moms

Books, Travel, Cooking, Adventure & The Empty Nest

About

As it says on the side >>>>

I am a married mom of 2: both are now college students out of state, the youngest is a sophomore. We love to travel but don’t do it often enough and generally find our adventures close to home. I’ve had many chapters from New Mom, Working Mom, Stay-At-Home Mom, Sports Mom, School Volunteer Mom, Business-Owner Mom, Back-To-Work-Mom. I will always be a mom – but they are soon to have their lives independent of mine. What is next besides mom in the title?

I feel like my now 21+ years as a mom has been both a lifetime of time and a blink of an eye. The high school years of my children have been both joyous and the bitter of bittersweet, a bit sad. Because I have loved every minute of being a mom (well, some less than others, but I have loved it all!) it is a big wave of emotion to know that it isn’t long before the empty nest is more than just a phrase.

Currently I work almost full-time in downtown Denver and in my spare time I am online quite a bit. I love to have fun with my family and travel is something we love, but it doesn’t happen enough. That is hopefully something that will increase with my next chapter. I love live music and getting out and about in Colorado to concerts, farmers markets and hiking trails with my husband and children.

In a past chapter I owned a small SEO & Digital Marketing company, but put that to rest for now with the lure of stable full employment that included health benefits. But that could be a chapter that opens again. You just never know…
