Abby Turner Hager
I am originally from New Hampshire and moved to the Cincinnati area in 2003. I am a single mom to 2 amazing boys, Eli and Ethan. We are avid Reds fans and you will likely find us at the ballpark quite a bit during baseball season. I have a degree in healthcare management and work full-time in Cincinnati. I have shared parenting of my boys, so when we are together, I try to make sure we make the most of our time! Whether it’s seeing Madcap Puppets, exploring the numerous local parks, enjoying the Cincinnati Pops, or cheering on our Cincinnati Redlegs, I strive to expose my boys to as many aspects of culture that I can! I enjoy music (I’ve played piano for 30 years) as well as being crafty (as time allows!), making crazy cool cakes, and relaxing with my boys, our dog Frankie and cats Lyra & Luna (we have quite the animal kingdom in our house)! I’m really excited about sharing a piece of my world with you and this oftentimes humorous and wild adventure I call my life as a mom!

Bankruptcy as a Blessing
Defeated. Embarrassed. Disappointed. Broken.
These are just a few of the emotions that were going through my mind the day we filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. But as the past 5 years have come and...
Hysterectomy at 35
I once was told that God gave me two kids because I have two hands. One hand to hold each child’s hand. And that was plenty for me. As a wide-eyed naïve girl, growing...
Dinner as it Should Be with Panera {Promo Code Inside!}
As a full-time working single mom with two very active children and a non-stop busy schedule of my own, meal planning in advance is an absolute necessity. If I have a meal plan menu...
My New Year’s Anti-Resolution List
Every year we make a list of our New Year's resolutions. And, for the most part, we don't accomplish what's on that list. We end the year with a bit of disappointment that we didn't...
The Mom Tribe: Accepting Myself Without Fitting In
I don't have a "mom tribe" like you often hear many moms mention.
I tend to not fit in to many social settings.
I am not like most moms I meet.
Growing up, I lived a somewhat...
Blessing Bags with Whole Foods Market
Blessing: "A beneficial thing for which one is grateful; something that brings well-being."
As a single mom of two boys, there have been many times where I have been on the receiving end of a "blessing"...
