MidAge Mom is for women who had kids late and are parenting in midlife, rather than celebrating the empty nest on a beach in Bali. It’s for women squeezing in their midlife revelations before the school pickup. It’s for mothers riding the hormonal roller coaster while competing with their teen or tween for bathroom time. In short, it’s about thriving and surviving a new life stage where midlife meets motherhood. How can you care for yourself while caring for others? How can you remain true to your parenting values in a world so different than the one you grew up in? How can you satisfy your own midlife need to grow and develop while supervising homework? Welcome, and share here!

About Jennifer

I’m a longtime journalist and the author of Beyond One: Growing a Family and Getting a Life. I had my first daughter at 40 and second at 42. Ten years later, I’m wearing reading glasses to fill out middle school forms and help dress Polly Pocket. Good thing I had the wisdom to chuck Polly’s tiny shoes. . . Read Jennifer’s Bio.
