About MarcyMom

Hi! I’m Marcy. (Mom is not my last name. That would’ve been too convenient!) I live in Los Angeles with my husband and toddler.

I’m also a senior copywriter at a digital marketing agency. I still work full-time, now from home, and in every moment that I’m not working, I spend time with my son. (Will I ever play guitar again? Hang with friends without a sense of urgency to return home again? Will I ever … relax … again? Only time will tell.)

They say nothing can prepare you for parenthood, and as it turns out, they’re RIGHT! My son is almost two, and it’s been a wild ride. We also have the added weirdness of having a baby in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This website covers the following topics:

  • Postpartum depression and anxiety, aka the astonishing things that happen to your brain when you have a child, particularly when you have a child in 2020, aka “The Year of the Great Dumpster Fire.”
  • Things my son does that make me laugh
  • Helpful tips, hacks, gamechangers, and things we’ve learned along the way, both the easy way and the hard way
  • Marriage
  • Other stuff

Glad you’re here. Enjoy!
