Hi y’all

My name is Kari. I am 29 years old and I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I am currently a stay at home mom to my two boys Jaxson who is 3 years old and Asher who is 8 months old. I am married to their father, Jesse who is a successful chef to multiple restaurants. We’ve been married for going on 4 years and have been together for 13! He is my high school sweetheart. I have worked in the customer service industry basically since I was 14 years old. I have always worked and full time, before I was a stay at home mom I worked for the a company called VIA Rail. It is the passenger train service in Canada, the only one, and it was one of the coolest jobs I ever had.

My interests include anything creepy. I have loved horror movies and books since I was a young girl and my love for anything horror has grown over the years. I am a self proclaimed horror movie buff and take pride in seeing almost every scary movie that is out there. I do love multiple horror authors but my favourite is the messiah, Stephen King. I’ve read over half of his written stories. I love plants and in recent years my collection has grown and I take pride in keeping several plants alive for several years. I have in recent years taken a liking to anything occult. I love astrology and keep learning more and more and every day. I’ve been practicing tarot for the about 5 years now, my crystal collection keeps growing, and I keep working on manifesting, meditation and other types of spell work. I would not call myself Wiccan because this is not something I have grown up on and I don’t want to appropriate that culture, but I would call myself more of a modern day spiritualist who practices old ways with my own twist. I love everything to be as natural as can be, and the environment is important to me. I recently adopted a more plant based diet and although I am not vegan I try to eat vegan as much as possible because the idea of our planet not being a habitable place for my children and grandchildren is absolutely heartbreaking. I love nature and animals like a true earth sign (Taurus girl through and through, sorry if that also gets me some hate, I realize Taurus’ are not always the most popular). I also love water and am an avid swimmer. I have been swimming since I was really young but my interest really took off when I was around 7 years old. You have not been able to get me out of the water since. Any time that I have available to me, you can find me in the pool, or at the lake/beach. I have my diving licence and although there is no ocean in the prairies, I dive every chance I get. I have been dubbed “the mermaid” from many different friends, and yes I have long hair down past my boobs and back but I can actually say that my love for swimming and anything water related is my reason for being called Mermaid and not just because I have long flowing hair.

I am also a fiercely loyal mother and wife. My family is everything to me. Being a mom is everything to me. The best job I ever had, and the most rewarding. Also the hardest job I ever had. I definitely plan to have more children in the future. At the moment there’s lots that we are waiting on before we can expand our family. Most important we need to move to a bigger house with more space.

The reason I call myself “momma bat” is because of this picture that I took of myself and now every time Jaxson sees this mirror in the hall he calls it Momma Bat. It’s a sorta cute nickname that he gave me and it’s definitely fitting.

Welcome to my world, I plan to talk about anything and everything. From my pregnancy/birth journeys, to my interests in the occult, to recipes, to deeper and more dark topics. I have always written and even blogged in different forms over the years and have been wanting to start this for a very long time but I always made excuses as to why I couldn’t. So here is the start to what I am hoping is something real, genuine, raw and beautiful.

Always,

Kari xox
