Welcome to Mama Managing, a website and blog I started making back in the summer of 2021 and haven't published until late spring 2023 winter 2023. Being a mama is a short way of telling the world that I keep a home running, children growing, and manage to make it through the good and bad days.
I moved to a new state while pregnant, then had a baby, navigated a pandemic, had a second baby, and here I am a stay at home mom with two toddlers. Before that whirlwind I bounced around from job to job doing what I loved and working for many amazing women (and a couple men) along the way. I have always told my husband that I wanted to do jobs I love, and have been lucky enough to find those in working with florals, event coordination, natural wine, and a whole lot in between.
Now I am here, using all the skills I gained in college and put to use in prior jobs into a resource I have needed for years. I had big dreams of being a mother that did all the things with her children, took time for herself, had a list of sitters, volunteered locally, and had a big group of other mom friends. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen easily given the circumstances of the last few years, or our society.
So here at Mama Managing, I hope you find the resources you need to be able to take on this caregiving journey.
