• Hi everyone! Welcome to Modern Thoughts of a Modern Mom. This blog started with me just wanting a place to write down my thoughts. A place others could come and see that they are not alone!

• After my second child, i struggled with postpartum for a bit. I would have some thoughts, thoughts that I had decided made me crazy. Thoughts that I thought made me a bad person. Thoughts so far out of left field that I wondered if I wasn't who I really thought I was. Who knew there was such a thing of intrusive thoughts and OCD to go along with it. Knowing this CHANGED MY WORLD. Knowing this made me stronger. Knowing this made me a better person. 

• I've been married to my husband for eight years. Growing up I never believed in love at first sight. It sounded magical, and I thought that would be such a fun story to tell, but I didn't think it would happen to me. I met Brentyn and my heart stopped. We met when we were 17. He was the funniest, most kind, tall, handsome boy I'd ever met. Even though he doesn't remember our first meeting (i've learned to forgive him for that), I wouldn't change a thing about it. Brentyn is the type that always encourages me to do hard things. To chase after things that I want, and to not let this anxiety get in the way. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I'm sure glad I did!
