welcome!

I’m Chrissy.

In the words of Ella Langley, I’m a “lover, a mother, a sister and wife” and these are the shallow thoughts I’ve had while being them.

Song lyrics aside, I am a middle aged millennial who spent 20 years working in the marketing industry only to have my position outsourced and automated. My husband (best friend/worst enemy) and I have been married for ten wonderfully, long years lol. We have an incredible, elementary aged little human that I am doing my damn best to mother. Parenting has been the best and the worst thing I have ever done all at once. What a fucking mind fuck!

I like the F word. Sorry, I’m not fucking sorry.

I like black coffee, wine and snacks. I miss the 90’s. I struggle to dress myself and honestly I avoid mirrors. I wish I had more confidence. When I meet people I repeat my own name in my head so I don’t fuck up. Then I have no idea what the other person’s name is because I was so focused on saying mine. I do at least four loads of laundry a day. I’m the default parent. I’m exhausted.

This tiny space I’m taking up of the internet is where I share my real thoughts. Not the polished ones I shared at work, not the censored ones I share at my son’s little league games (so as not to offend anyone!!) and not the fake ones that so many others craft in attempts to make their lives seem “perfect”.

Genuinely, I hope I make you laugh, or at least smile, or maybe even better – make you feel that you are not alone. You are not alone. Turns out we all have shallow thoughts, I’ve just reached the point of being so unhinged that I’m sharing mine.

Thanks for reading! So grateful for you!

Chrissy
