Colleen Blackwell

Colleen is a wife and mom of two under two based in Kansas City. She has a passion for researching and writing about anything and everything pregnancy, parenting, and kiddos. Colleen loves sharing an honest take on her motherhood journey - a blend of chaos paired with laughter, learning to let go of the things you can't control (this oftentimes includes a temperamental toddler), and of course, a glass of red wine.
