About Me



Hi, I'm Marie. Thanks for stopping by! I'm a mom of five that likes to write about the everyday happenings in my life. I try to be real and light-hearted at the same time because that's the kind of friend I enjoy. A sarcastic sense of humor is a bonus! I hope you'll have fun reading and check back often!

Background Information

I grew up in Western New York and moved to Tennessee 12 years ago. I'm a licensed Speech Pathologist, but don't currently practice. I love being a stay at home mom. Now that my kids are all in school (and one in college, yikes!), my days are more free. I enjoy blogging, oil painting, and any kind of creative or home improvement project in my spare time. I consider evenings my real workday with all that kids' activities, homework, making dinner, and having a family life entails after school until bedtime. 

I started my blog in September 2013, but never told a soul outside my immediate family until March 2014. I guess it took me awhile to find my courage and my voice! 

I'm honored that you're still reading at this point. If you'd like to stick around and read a little longer, I've compiled my most humorous posts here and my reflections on motherhood here. I hope you enjoy them!

    Hello Marie! Nice to meet you!
    I'm here from "where 2 or 3 are gathered." I also like sarcasm and writing, and I have six kiddos underfoot! People say "I don't know how you find time to write" but they don't understand that it helps keep me SANE! I like the title of your blog- normal everyday life. I find capturing these moments in words sometimes helps me to slow and and see them and appreciate them!

    Nice to meet you!

    It's so nice to "officially" meet you, Marie! I didn't realize we're neighbors - I'm in Alabama. :)
    Probably an odd thing to say...but just have to tell you: I LOVE your hair! Gorgeous!
    Looking forward to visiting you more.

    I'm so delighted you introduced yourself at the #Blirthdaybash Marie! Thank you so much for coming to celebrate with me... and I'm delighted that some of the guests have made their way here.

    I agree with Robin's comment... motherhood suits you well.

    Wishing you a lovely weekend.

    You had me at "humorous posts." I found you from The Deliberate Mom's Facebook page! I'm a new blogger myself and can easily spend hours researching, learning and reaching out. Glad to have found your blog! -- Erin | It All Matters Mom

    Hi, Marie!

    Thank you for stopping by my blog yesterday!

    I love your "about me." I'm a licensed cosmetologist and high school English teacher (in TX and Hawaii) who decided the home is my favorite place to be! I don't know about you, but I feel so blessed to be able to do it. :)

    I love your warts-and-all approach to motherhood. I am definitely a new follower!
