Unplanned Pregnancy

I Never Fully Experienced Adulthood Before Motherhood

July 16, 2018 By Chaunie

While chatting with a friend who is due to give birth to her first baby, she confessed that she is a little nervous about welcoming her little one after having so much time to herself. Unlike me, who had four kids by the time I was 28, this friend did things a bit more responsibly…

Heartbeat, Intl. Fundraising Efforts Update

February 9, 2015 By Chaunie

A few months ago, I shared a pretty lofty goal to donate 1,000 copies of my book, Tiny Blue Lines, to the annual Heartbeat, Intl. conference this spring. (You can read more about the project here.)  Although I thought it would be lovely, I never really expected to raise enough to send that many copies…

Your Lines: The XX Mama and Student Pregnancy

February 1, 2015 By Chaunie

Unlike the name may suggest, there’s nothing racy on this post, I assure you.  Instead, there’s just a lot of raw honesty + inspiration from young mom Emily Urbanski, a student mother to an eight-month-old daughter. Emily blogs at XX Mama, where she says that she believes that “young mamas should be proud of themselves.” I…

Have You Ever…?

November 6, 2014 By Chaunie

Have you ever woke up in the morning and just thought, “I can’t do this today…”? Have you ever been forced to sit in the bathroom with your toddler while he takes an actual 20-minute dump and you envision a life that could have been spent doing anything but cleaning up poop constantly? Have you…

The Gift of an Unplanned Pregnancy

October 28, 2014 By Chaunie

As any of you who have known me from this timeish last year may know, I wasn’t exactly thrilled when I had another unplanned pregnancy.  We were preparing for our first-ever vacation alone, sans kids, to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico (read: alcohol), completely paid for by my in-laws (read: amazing), and I couldn’t have been…

About Chaunie

Hi, I'm Chaunie and I'm glad you're here! I admit this blog is a bit rusty, as most circa 2010-blogs are, but like us elder millennial moms ourselves, I figure it can still get the job done, am I right? So here's the deal: I'm a mom of five kids, teen to toddler, I've been a writer for about 10 years, mostly penning health articles in exchange for money to pay my bills, but after I was laid off, I decided it was now or never and I'm writing my first novel in a month. And I want you to be part of the process with me. So subscribe and get weekly emails with my latest juicy drafts. It's going to be fun. Read More…
