The story behind oneat32twoat42

If you’ve wondered about the name of this blog, I’m excited to finally share its story.

oneat32twoat42 isn’t just a timeline of when I became a mother, it’s a reflection of the journey, the conversations, and the partnership that shaped my experiences at 32 and again at 42. Like most things in our life, the name was born out of one of those deep brainstorming discussions with my husband. We’re the kind of couple that thrives on exchanging ideas, whether we’re navigating big life decisions or coming up with a blog name. As I shared my vision for this blog a space to document what it’s been like to mother at two such different stages of life he simply said, “Why not call it oneat32twoat42?” And just like that, the name found us. It wasn’t about trying to be clever or unique; it was about grounding this blog in something true. The name captures the essence of my motherhood journey, but it also reflects how much those two milestones transformed me.

Becoming a mother at 32 was a lesson in learning and adapting. Doing it all over again at 42 was a journey of rediscovery, one that demanded resilience, patience, and humor. But more than anything, this name is a reminder of how we’ve grown together as partners through it all. It’s a product of our shared moments, our reflections, our debates, and our constant exchange of ideas. It stands for how much we’ve evolved not just as individuals, but as parents and partners navigating life hand in hand.

So, here it is, the story of a name that tells so much more than just my age. It tells of growth, teamwork, and the beauty of starting over when life hands you the unexpected. Through this blog, I hope to share more of the stories behind those years, the lessons I’ve learned, and the joys I continue to discover.

Happy Reading!
