How this blog began

I’m Kelsee Braun. I started the blog in fall 2013, when I was a single mother with a seven-month-old son. He was born prematurely, and I felt lonely and overwhelmed after his birth. Writing gave me somewhere to make sense of what I was experiencing.

I’ve written about mental health, life as a single parent and the small things that make a household run. My sister also contributed stories about surviving domestic abuse. You can read more about how I started writing or go straight to the parenting articles.
