Jumping In!!

Hi. I’m Bridgette.

I’m raising children across seasons of life — from tiny hands to almost-grown ones — while learning what it means to begin again in midlife. I make things when I can. I notice light. I try to stay honest. Some days I hold it together beautifully. Other days, I cry in the car and call that progress.

I lost my mom years ago, and since then I’ve been learning how to mother — and live — without a map. After decades of putting everyone else first, this is me finding my way back to myself, slowly and without apology.

This space is where I tell the truth as gently as I can.
In words. In images. In moments that don’t need fixing.

It’s not polished. It’s not performative.
It’s real, and it’s still unfolding.

Because I’m still me in here.
