Mother Limon

I have been thinking about what I am supposed to put on this page, and it has been driving me BONKERS. Who am I? How am I supposed to summarize myself on one page??

Well, I suppose I at least have to give it a shot, huh?

What I will say is that I don’t expect everyone to agree with my advice. I give it after putting in a LOT of thought, and I wouldn’t waste my effort like that for no reason .. but like, whatever man. Read it or don’t.

I hope you read these pages, and know that you aren’t alone. There are folks out there just as coocoo-bananas as you are. There are people who are much dumber than you are. There are plenty of people going through exactly what you are, and I am one of those people. I have been through it.

I don’t talk about things I don’t know about. If I say I know how to make a tampon out of a pad, it is because I have done it before. (I actually have done this before, but that’s another story.) If I say I know how to stretch a single chicken out into meals for a week, it is because I have personal experience. Any claims I make, I try to ensure that I’ve thoroughly researched if I haven’t dealt with it myself.

Who am I? I’m a poet that couldn’t ever figure out poetry. I’m a singer that gets awful stage fright, except in front of my kid. I’m a dancer that has two left feet, and a bad knee to boot. I’m a chef that relies heavily on the microwave. I’m a lover to a wonderful man that I’m shocked I pulled. I am a sister. I am an avid consumer of fantasy and comedy. I am a friend.

Who am I? I’m a mom. And I’m here to provide some mothering.

Give me a shout if you have any advice you’d like, or have any questions or comments about my work. Newsletters come far and few-in-between, so you don’t have to worry about me blowing up your inbox. I try to only send one notice per month or event.

Of course, if you send me anything inappropriate, I will ignore it. I spend a lot of my time diving deep into the "hows" and "whys" of parenting and life so you don’t have to! However, please remember that I am sharing my journey and research as a peer, not an expert. The views expressed here are my own and do not constitute professional advice. I encourage you to use this information as a starting point for your own research and to always consult with a licensed professional for your specific needs.
