Babbling Brooke here...
Lifestyle expert? Barf. That is the last thing I consider myself. Quite the opposite actually. I'm much less of an expert and much more of a Jack-of-all-trades that continues to try it all, but is a master of none. Where my super power comes into play is locating those who do "master" and trying to squeeze their knowledge out of them so I know just enough to be dangerous (or pull off a decently decorated house or dinner plan). So I will use this non-talent/talent to share with all of you some of the tips and tricks from the best, and a couple I have learned along the way.
​
I'm a mom of two boys living in Boise, Idaho who grew up in the midwest (shout out Iowa!) and has been lucky enough to live in numerous states and a couple of other countries. My husband is a super supportive, cute, bearded man; my boys are loud and crazy and beautiful and life is pretty fun. I love to travel, cook (when it feels fun), have never met a happy hour I didn't love and am at the peak of happiness when I find a sweet treasure at T.J. Maxx. But to be real, may favorite thing to do is babble. Just ask my boys. I love to chat! I have realized I spend a large portion of my day sharing information with girlfriends (and my mom)- recipes, a podcast that made me cry, a great new pair of jeans that work well for those of us with birthing hips, parenting wins, funny stories, advice that has been helpful, you name it!...so I thought I would put it all in one place.
I am gathering up all my girlfriends and asking them all of the things I'm curious about in their area of "expertise" that I would over a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, and sharing my favorite nuggets with you here. Let's keep it real. Welcome to Babble!
