About Me

Welcome! 

A little about me: I’m Randi, a native New Yorker, Stay-at-Home-Mom, homeschool teacher, and the creator of Surviving Mom Blog.  I currently live in Atlanta with my husband, rambunctious 11-year-old daughter, 2 cats, and a very hyper dog.

A bit of backstory; writing has always been my outlet.  At 8 years old I organized and edited a children’s newspaper (unfortunately my fellow journalists were not as enthusiastic, and Kids Weekly was shut down for press after one issue).  I turned to the power of pen on paper to help cope with the hardships that took place in my childhood, and I have been featured in numerous publications.  Writing has been my constant and helped me become the person and mother that I am today.

I came up with the name Surviving Mom Blog because of my struggle, survival, and healing from an abusive mother. Also, as a mom I am most definitely surviving the trials and tribulations of motherhood! 

I started writing on this blog to provide support regarding motherhood, relationships, and mental health/wellness. This evolved into writing poetry on Facebook (@survivmomblog) about the emotional rollercoaster that is motherhood.

My first motherhood poetry book, From the Heart of a Mother, will be released on November 12, 2024, and it is poetry for expectant/first time moms, seasoned moms, and grandmothers. It is a book about the highs and lows of motherhood, and I can’t wait for you to read it!

My hope is that my words bring you comfort, validation, and a voice. I write to bring awareness and words of encouragement to everyone’s individual journey. This is a forum where you are heard, understood, and welcomed.

I’m so glad you’re here!

XO,

Randi
