Hello! My name is Megan Eldredge and I am a mom, law student, and writer. I was born in Chicago and spent a few years in New Jersey and Hawaii, but I now call North Carolina home and have lived here for over fifteen years.
I originally started this blog in 2017, right before I began college at Brigham Young University–Hawaii, as a way to document my adventures around the islands. Since then, life has taken me in directions I never expected. I transferred colleges to be closer to family while balancing motherhood and school, and in 2024, graduated from UNC–Greensboro with degrees in English and International & Global Studies. Later that same year, I started law school at Elon University, and I am currently set to graduate in December 2026. Law school is challenging, but I’m loving the journey—most days!
In my personal life, I’m married to my best friend, Kevin. It’s hard to believe our first date was almost three years ago and that we’ve been married for almost a year! Before I started law school, we both trained for and ran trail ultramarathons, but these days, we’ve traded in the long training runs for shorter runs, family hikes, and evenings at home curled up with a good book (after the kids’ bedtimes, of course). When I’m not studying, I love spending time with friends and family, writing, and chasing after our energetic bichapoo puppy, Ginger.
Together, we’re raising three amazing kids: my stepdaughter, K (8yo); my daughter, Eloisa (5yo); and my stepson, T (5yo — just five months younger than Eloisa). And now, we’re preparing to welcome twins that could arrive any day!
My hope is that by sharing my journey, I can help other parents, working parents, step-parents, and co-parents feel a little less alone.
I’m so glad you’re here!
