Who Am I?

It’s hard to say exactly who I am. At any given moment I’m wearing multiple hats. Am I Mom? Am I a Caregiver? Am I a wife? Or am I just Charlotte?

Needless to say, I am all of the above. I am a member of what people call the “Sandwich Generation.” While raising my 3 children, I am also caring for my disabled father and step mother. No two days are the same and yet the years seem to pass on in a blur.

For 7 years I’ve been caring for my disabled Veteran father. This last year my step mother’s ailments have caught up with her too. From the physical to the mental disabilities, I’ve been privy to talking with specialists, doctors, emergency room teams, and Veterans waiting to be seen. All while carrying at least one child and typically entertaining two or more.

This blog will be the combination of finding myself and creating a community for other caregivers, moms, and everyone in between to find themselves as well.

I’ll share tips and tricks relating to managing schedules, dividing your time, and finding yourself. Your true self, outside of all the hats you wear.
