The Best of Mama

About Me

Hi! I’m Tina, 9-5 working mama of two cute kids, married to my high school sweetheart. We’ve been together for nearly 17 years and started having kids at year 15. We look back at it today and ask ourselves why we didn’t just get knocked up when we were teenagers because now our knees and backs are out of commission. You can count on me to keep it real with you, 100%. I’ll bring my most authentic self and sometimes a little extra authenticity.

I started this blog because I needed an outlet, a place to call mine, and share my experiences as a new mom. It came to mind when a friend reached out to me for some advice and all I could give her was what worked for me and maybe if what worked for me, might work for her. My thought was just to give her options because where else would you look for options? You’re not just looking for tried and true, you’re also looking for relatable experiences. Every person, every mom, and every baby are not the same. You can’t just give a one size fits all answer. You really just have to try all the options that have worked for others – yourself, and then determine what is best for you and your baby. I’m not going to sit here and write what you SHOULD do or what you HAVE to do. I’m just here to support you the way best way I know how. I also want those who see my page, know that even if you don’t have a support system, family, or mom friends where you live, you can find community here starting with me. Moms are busy, you don’t have time to read through paragraphs of fluff. I like to get straight to the point and give you what you need so that you can keep that mama magic moving! But if you want to know more about any topic, feel free to shoot me an email!
