About

Welcome! I’m Christine. I’m a 30-something, full-time communications professional, wife, and mother to two boys under 5.

I’m on a journey of self-discovery, examining my life from the inside out. Along the way I’ve learned many lessons, but the most important has been that sometimes when you are trying to do it all you are really doing nothing.

In this space I write about the madness and sweetness of life as a full-time working mother. I write to find some quiet from a busy, hectic life. I explore new directions; I muse and I dream. I share the hard parts, the soft parts and the fun parts as honestly as I can.

Coffees & Commutes allows me to connect with wonderful people who make a difference by reading, sharing and offering wise advice. That’s you! Thanks for coming by. Please share your own perspectives when you visit. I learn from, and am often inspired by everyone who does.

You can contact me at coffeesandcommutes [at] gmail [dot] com. Or follow me on Twitter: @CoffeesCommutes.

Momalom sent me! This adventure called life becomes more clear the more we share it. Thank you. And take a peek at my sharing, should you feel like it ~

Hi Christine, and glad to hear you’re on a well-earned vacation. Sounds like you’re celebrating in grand style, driving through such lovely parts of the country together.

And speaking of lovely, I just wrote to say I like your new format and ‘branding’ here. It’s wonderful how much of yourself you put into the writing, while using your professional skills to also make the blog communicate so well visually.

I continue to enjoy seeing myself in the many brilliant women who congregate here. Thank you (and them) for that.

Michelle

Just discovered you – I work in communications as well and am exploring writing opportunities. Would love to connect with you on your journey, as mine has very much become one of self-discovery while dealing with postpartum depression after the birth of my son (who is now almost 3).
