TJ Hernandez

T.J. is a 40 something mom of an inquisitive, Fortnite loving, 3rd grader. She’s a veterinary nurse by day and mom blogger by night. She lives with her husband and their son in a suburb of Chicago. Her blog started as a way to cope with postpartum depression but now helps relieve the everyday stresses of mayhem and motherhood. She enjoys spending time with her family, friends, her three dogs, birdwatching, and sitting down with a good glass of wine.
