I’m a mom of two girls, Abbie (born 2012) and Ella (born 2016) living in the DC area.
I founded Being Mrs. Beer in 2011 as a way to document newlywed life, which quickly expanded into motherhood once my girls were born.
I share what works for our family (and doesn’t) with two full-time working parents, including parenting, wellness, easy meal ideas, and a bit of my personal style.
I think it’s important not to sugarcoat the tough stuff and to reject the mom guilt we all feel pushed upon us. I love sharing that on my blog and building a community.
Wrapped up Abbie’s first dance competition today and I am so proud of how hard she’s worked this year. So much can change in a year, even more in two. Two years ago today I was laid off and it was one of the hardest days of my life. One year ago today, I received my first Covid vaccine. I feel like I’ll always mark this day in my mind, whether I say it aloud or not. Two years ago, I didn’t see the happiness of today. I’m so glad we’re here. ❤️

I took this picture two years ago yesterday, just before the world shut down. I feel like a lifetime has passed since then. We had no idea what was coming our way. My family is different now - another 2 years in and having dealt with so much in those years. I’ve gone back and forth on if I feel I’m the same person I was then. But then, how could I be? 2020 was the year so much fell apart for me, and 2021 was the year I recognized it and asked for help. 2022 is the year I’m working to better myself, to become the best person I can be. All weekend, I’ve thought through the dates. What I was doing each day, what would happen next. I know I’ll continue to do that for years to come. March 2020 set off so much, and it’s hard to reflect on sometimes. So am I the same person? Deep down inside, I think so. But I am also irrevocably changed, as I think so many of us are. ❤️
