Hi, I'm Stephanie,
It’s a disease. And I had it—I thought I could do anything! Add to that my Pollyanna outlook and self-proclaimed role as head cheerleader, and you’ll understand my parenting style.
And then it was over! The kids were gone. My world packed up and moved away. I was alone, feeling sorry for myself, blaming my husband and struggling to find my purpose.
Why didn’t anyone tell me this empty nest thing would be so hard?
I knew I had to do something.
With a lot of laughter and a few tears, I wrote my stories down. They helped me remember the happy times, the crazy times … they got me laughing again, and most of all … they helped me move on. I hope they can do the same for you.
Welcome to my Empty Mess®. ~xo, Stephanie
