Ok, honestly I haven’t really changed, just became a better version of my “old” self. Over the past year I have been really focusing on my own mental health, personal growth, and figuring out what is next. After 3.5 years, this Fall semester I will be defending my dissertation and becoming Dr. Blair Stamper. In […]

Domino (our dog) makes me laugh. When she is frustrated and bored, she often sits on top of you or barks and whines until she gets attention. She basically takes my feelings and vocalizes them (they do say your dogs take on your personalities). I have been beyond bored lately. Like, I come home, sit […]

When I first became pregnant, I associated mom2mom with a fun sale. Moms working together to lift one another up, haggle with prices, and support one another. Moms asking for advice and helping one another get through the toughest job of motherhood. Instead, mom2mom now has a negative connotation in my world. Don’t get me […]
