My Blog

This blog was inspired by my experiences as a mom to 3 girls and as an Emergency Medicine physician ("ER doctor ") for the past 14+ years. I have been winging it as a mom since 2014, and have learned a lot along the way:)  I often times get asked advice from parents: expecting, new, and seasoned. I want to share personal stories, safety tips for parents/caregivers, and some frequently asked questions from friends, neighbors, family and co-workers.

A little background: I grew up in Kansas City, trained in the Detroit region, and after spending 14 amazing years in Chicago, we moved to Utah! I love spending time in nature and generally being active, which is the lifestyle and upbringing I want for our children. I work as an Emergency Medicine physician at a busy level I trauma center and affiliate community hospitals but spend most of my daytime being mom. It's the best work-life balance! I enjoy teaching students, residents, and educating friends & the community as a friendly public service announcement-style blog.

As a visitor here, you are helping me transform my ideas into reality. I genuinely enjoy "talking shop" as a mom and doctor. I encourage your feedback! As a disclaimer, this is purely a hobby. My views are my own and not of my employer. You are welcome to ask questions but I cannot legally provide medical advice. I love suggestions -- what do you want to learn more about?

Thank you so much for being part of this community. I am new to the blogging world. I created an instagram and facebook page as well, please follow me.
