Hi! I’m Steph Mignon.

Welcome to my blog of essays on motherhood and life. Here it’s about the real. And the raw. With a dash of dreams and little bit of love on top. With a sprinkle of tears and a whole lot of truth. It’s not always easy to tell the truth. But I try. Even if it hurts sometimes.

Like you I’m just hoping to find my way in the world. I’m looking for my tribe. As a mother, a wife, a writer, and a dreamer, I’m always looking for good people to call my own. I’m equal parts introvert and extrovert, fitness fiend and chocolate covered raisin fanatic. I used to love spontaneous adventures to random countries like Malaysia, but now I mom which means most of my spontaneity is reserved for trying new shows on Netflix. I teeter between loving every minute of it and wanting to SCREAM and then feeling guilty for wanting to scream. Motherhood rocks my world in the best and worst way. Every. Single. Day. And on the difficult days I remember how hard it was to get here…

I live and write and dream in Southern California, with my blogging, reading, and exercise avoid-ant husband, who inspired The Good Wife Project, our remaining pound pup, Henry, our long awaited daughter, and her beautiful baby brother (who has JUST grown out of the colicky newborn phase. Thank GOD).
