Robin(Mom)

Hi, I’m Robin, Mom to Emma (16), my partner in crime here on “Me and My Best Girl” and to Ben (11), my amazingly pleasant surprise.

One thing that I have learned is that life is about constantly growing, it is if you want to live fully I believe and the one thing that has helped me to grow more than any other is being a Mom to these two amazing people.

It’s funny, a lot of times we self identify first with our career, up to this point for me that has been in accounting and continues to be my day job.  Or often as a parent which as you can see from above is a huge part of my life and one of my most important roles. But I think more than anything I am a learner.  The person I hope to be is someone who is always learning and so often we learn by doing and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. So this little blog is me way out of my comfort zone, trying to grow openly, walking along side my two favorite people, my kids, and on this platform we hope to share that journey.

Life has been so much more than I ever imagined, more challenging, more painful and more joyful than I ever thought possible. Hopefully I am just getting started (LOL, I know Emma is rolling her eyes right now thinking Mom your “43”).  But when she gets here I hope she feels that way also, sure I have lived a lot but I hope to live so much more. We are going to have journeys and we are going to create. So we hope that you will stick around and share with us in doing just that.
