Hey there! Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy looking around the site. Here are some basic things about me and the most recent blog posts below!!
Who Am I? I am Erin, the girl in the picture above! Along with my husband, our daughter and new baby boy, and we can’t forget Abby girl. I am in that early 30’s mom club and have been married for 10 years. I am passionate about a lot of things, and writing is one of them! On this page, and really all of my social media, I focus on life as a military spouse, authenticity surrounding mental health, sometimes the funny and great things that happen to me as a new mom and more.
Random fact? I’m a big mascara snob and secretly love playing Zelda!

What is The Short Wife Blog about? I focus on a few things! Life as a military wife, living authentically as a new mom of two, mental health, and also meal plans. And maybe a few other things thrown in every once in awhile!
