The Mamasaur
Hi! I am THE Mamasaur! I’m a 30-year-old SAHM of three kids, a retired RN, and a very loving (generally-speaking) wife of my animator husband, Nathan. We live in Texas (for now). My children are awesome…and exhausting. I have a 16-year-old stepson, Coen; a 2-year-old, Orson; and a 1-year-old, Nova. I realized how desperately, with the strain of parenthood, I needed a creative outlet, and thus, this blog was born. I have many interests that I’m sure will find their way into my entries: at least attempting to be a gentle parent and generational trauma cycle-breaker, enjoying food and wine, working out in VR, getting new tattoos, and making strides to fulfill a dream of moving onto a sailboat with my husband and our babies.
