The Hobblets

I'm Katrina, some people call me Kat. I'm a 20 year old mama that is married to my best friend and occasional pain in the ass for the past 9 years. My husband and I met almost 12 years ago playing a medieval combat sport called Belegarth. Like I said, nerd! We love the renaissance faire, cosplay/comic book conventions, anime, video games, reading, HARRY POTTER, #hufflepuffpride, you name it we love all things nerdy! 

​

My family means the world to me, they are my rock, my everything. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for them.  I come from a long line of stubborn, Brooklyn raised, Italian women. So if you ever see me get worked up, the hands go flying and a little New Yorker comes out of me OKAAAYYY!

​

My hobbies include painting, reading, binge watching shows on Netflix of course! What kind of millennial would I be without Netflix! I also enjoy dancing and exercise. I used to teach hip-hop infused Zumba. Which still bogles me that I could successfully lead a class when I am such an introvert with a fear of talking in front of large crowds! I guess dancing and talking aren't the same thing. 

 

I enjoy spending time with friends, and being alone too. As a long time sufferer of anxiety, depression and PTSD, I plan to write about how it has affected my pregnancies and motherhood thus far to maybe open a door to other suffering new moms to see they are not alone. ​

​

I made this blog because I don't want other young moms like me first time or otherwise to feel as lost and confused as I was and sometimes still am. I want this to be a safe place where we can all feel welcome, not be embarrassed to ask questions or feel a certain way. I am an open book.

​

But overall this is me! Coffee addict, sailor mouth Katrina. I hope we get to know each other and get to be good friends! I want to give you strength and guidance the best I can, and I hope to learn from you too. 

​

With our powers combined! We are awesome moms.
