Unplanned Pregnancy

I’m 28 With Four Kids-So What?

August 30, 2014 By Chaunie

Over on Babble this week, I shared my thoughts on being a young mom of four kids-and how for me, young motherhood has not meant my life has been a failure, or even more of a struggle.  Maybe I’m the exception, but I doubt it. The true “success” of motherhood-at any age-means believing in yourself,…

Your Lines: Melissa Cohen

August 10, 2014 By Chaunie

Melissa is one of my favorite bloggers. Although we’ve never met “IRL,” I feel like we’ve somehow known each other forever. Plus, I feel a special pride in watching Melissa’s writing career grow and blossom, because she was a student in my first online freelance writing class. (*puffs chest with pride*) Be sure to stop…

Win a Free Copy of Tiny Blue Lines From The Grace Bond

April 11, 2014 By Chaunie

Want to know what my favorite part about writing my book has been? Hearing the reactions of real-life young moms who have been gracious enough to read and review it. Because it’s one thing to write the book myself and think it’s helpful and practical advice, but it’s another thing completely to hear that other…

March 10, 2014 By Chaunie

I’m so excited to share the official book trailer for Tiny Blue Lines with you all! My talented videographer brother whipped this up for me and invited me over to watch it without any warning whatsoever.

The Original Young Mom

March 7, 2014 By Chaunie

The other day, I did a radio interview for a Catholic station about my book. (Also, in a related news, talking on the phone alone in my house hoping my cell phone doesn’t give out while simultaneously hoping I don’t sound like a man makes me very nervous…) He fired question after question at me…

An Unplanned Pregnancy Is Not An Unwanted Child

February 26, 2014 By Chaunie

So yesterday was not my best work.  Yesterday’s highlight’s included cutting my children’s curling toenails (so gross and also, how do they grow so fast?) and if you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen that I somehow managed to kill my kids’ day-old goldfish literally right in front of them. My girls looked…

7 Myths About Unplanned Pregnancy

February 22, 2014 By Chaunie

Call me crazy, but I think that there may be a few misconceptions (ha!) about unplanned pregnancy floating around out there.  Perhaps maybe something along the lines of all we’re all poor, uneducated mothers popping out as many kids as we possibly can to milk the system? Yeah. About that. Today, I’m setting out to…

7 Things To Say To A Woman Facing Unplanned Pregnancy

February 21, 2014 By Chaunie

By now, most of us young moms are familiar with the ever-popular snarky comments, judgmental stares, and outright rude treatment from other people towards us and our mothering abilities. And while I still don’t really get why people assume that mothers our age-for most of us, that means early twenties, not even teens-are somehow unusual,…

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…
