Welcome to Marriage, Motherhood, & Me
I’m Brandy Eckman — wife, mom of two, business owner, and lifelong believer that real life doesn’t pause when the kids grow up. It just changes shape.
Around here, we talk about what it’s like to love deeply, parent differently, work hard, and still carve out space for you — in the middle of marriage, caregiving, midlife, and all the mayhem that comes with it.
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the middle chapters — where coffee is strong, love is steady, and perfection is optional.
So, pour yourself a cup and make yourself at home. I'm so glad you're here! You belong here — right where you are. <3

After 9 years at home with my munchkins, I decided it was time to go back to work. Now, I haven’t worked since my eldest was born with Cerebral Palsy. OK, I worked for my brother-in-law for only 4 months when Jamie was 2. My sister kept Jamie for me, so really it was like…

Truer words could not be spoken. My two kids have been friends, right from the start. When we brought Riley home from the hospital, Jamie was instantly in love.
