About

Welcome to my lifestyle blog.....

I started this lifestyle blog just before my 58th birthday. While I know many people feel 30 or 40 is mid life, I concentrate on 50 something. Hopefully, you will find selected topics relevant if you're not exactly 50. In your late 40s and into your 50s, women enter into an entirely different part of life. Our families grow older, children leave the nest, parents may become more dependent on us and our bodies change like no 30 year old could imagine. We face issues of downsizing homes, retiring or changing careers and finding new identities.                                             

Who is The Mid-Life Mama?.....

My name is Julia. In my 58 years I have managed to delve into a variety of  areas including a master's degree in speech pathology and an undergraduate degree in interior design. I've spent time in women's fashion industry, and had a great time with my retail home decor store.  Currently I work as a certified personal trainer and gym manager with my husband in South Carolina. I spent years relocating across the US as my husband climbed the corporate ladder .Combine all that with 34 years of marriage, two grown children, and you have a mid-life mama.

My Life Philosophy......

It's my life. Whatever comes my way, I will strive to always do and be the best I can. No one else is responsible.

Personal Bits......

My favorite people are my husband and kids. I love the South Carolina coast. I believe that beauty is in the details and I love to be part of making people and spaces as beautiful as possible. My life would be incomplete without an assortment of animals to mess it up. I love to read anything on the beach, sew, workout like a maniac (yes you can ladies!) and spend hours in my yard. I do battle with my frizzy mane daily but always welcome a challenge.
