Hello! I am Elizabeth – mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, entrepreneur, cookie-baker, teacher, and now blogger. I love to spend time outdoors hiking, running, swimming, going to playgrounds (a must with a two and three year old) and traveling (hopefully soon!). This blog started for one reason: me. I believed I could so I did. It is dedicated to my world: Emily and Molly. You are my reason. |
A little more about me…
- Where do I live?
- Cleveland, OH! I am a Cleveland native who never thought she would raise her family here. Growing up I could not wait to move. After college I came back to get my Masters and then I met my husband… Now, I cannot imagine raising my daughters anywhere else. Cleveland is home.
- What is my day job?
- Mom. I also own my own business, Milk and Cookies (@milkandcookiescle), and teach high school history.
- What do in my free time?
- Play. Lots and lots of play with two fearless, curious and imaginative daughters and my husband. Life gets crazy but I wouldn’t change it.
- Where do I like to travel?
- United States – anywhere out West. Mountains. Hiking. Water. Done.
- Abroad – anywhere. Give me a plane ticket and I will pack my bags. I believe everyplace has something to offer and something to teach me. I will never turn down an opportunity to get out and explore.
- Why start this blog now?
- This past year, 2020, was the hardest in my life. It challenged me in ways I didn’t know I could be challenged. Trying to balance two young daughters, a fulltime job, business, while also still dealing with postpartum depression, left me wondering if I was strong enough. With the support of the most amazing husband, I found my way and strength. I know I was not alone. This blog is a personal journey but one I hope others, especially moms, can relate to and find strength, courage, laughter, and some helpful tips alone the way.
