The Accidental Dance Mom

About Me

Thanks for stopping by! First thing first…. this isn’t a blog about dance (mostly because I don’t know that much about dance) but it’s called The Accidental Dance Mom because that seems to be the perfect metaphor for how I’ve made a life for myself that I really, truly love.

Opportunity + openness = unexpected (accidental) new path…

I sometimes think about what other cool things might have been out there for the taking if I had accidentally let them in, and yet I feel really good about the decisions I’ve made (good, bad, whatevs) so I don’t dwell too much on that. I believe I’ve made so many decisions that are SO perfect for me and who I am….

So who am I?

Someone who lives with compassion for others, yet I am unapologetic in making myself a priority. I love and adore my children and my husband, and I would bend over backwards and move mountains for them. And I show myself that same respect.

I am a 38 year old mother of three, living in the suburbs and fully immersed in a life that is a million miles away from where I thought I’d be right now. Twenty years of being open to possibilities, not over thinking and following my gut has led me to right here and right now, and what I am entirely certain is exactly where I belong! And also, 2 of my 3 children dance competitively which means I know all kinds of things about tutus and sequins, fake eye lashes and tap shoes. And I spend a LOT of time in my car shuttling my 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter back and forth to dance classes.

The BEST way to get to where you belong is to listen to the GPS in your head…. if it’s shouting at you to make a a U-Turn as soon as it’s safe, you should do that. If it’s constantly recalculating, even before you realize you’ve missed a turn, let it…
