Hi my name is Nate.
I am a married lady and a mother of three boys. I have been a mom for 17 years, pregnancies included. My boys are ages 5, 14, and 16.
My full-time job is caring for the kids, dog, home, husband, snake, yard, fish and everything else to keep the family up and running.
For over 25 years, I have worked with children. Through the years, my work includes: being a nanny, counselor, education consultant, teacher, director and now a mom. Kids are my gig.
My blog is about my experience with motherhood and midlife. I write to entertain, inspire, educate and help me through my midlife something. It’s not crisis, but it’s something.
I have been a full-time at home parent for 16 years. I am trying to transition back to the world of work, outside the home. It has not happened yet, but who knows…
Thanks for stopping by, talk with you soon.

I’m notifying my favorite bloggers one by one, since I couldn’t figure out how to get links to work (I’m technically challenged) – You’ve been nominated by me for the Versatile Blogger Award. If you want to take advantage of this dubious honor… Write a post that mentions notquiteold as your nominator, nominate 15 other posts (a lot I know) and tell your readers seven things about yourself that they may not know. Congrats, and I love your blog.
Thank you, Nancy. Love your blog too!
