Hello! My name is Megan Eldredge and I am a mom, writer, law student, and runner. I was born in Chicago, spent time in New Jersey and Hawaii, and now call North Carolina home.
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. In 2024, graduated from UNC–Greensboro with degrees in English and International & Global Studies, and later that year started law school at Elon University. Law school is challenging, but I’m loving the journey—most days!
In my personal life, I’m recently married to my best friend, Kevin. It’s hard to believe our first date was almost three years ago! Before 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 (8), my daughter, Eloisa (5), and my stepson, T (4 — just five months younger than Eloisa). And now, we’re preparing to welcome twins early next year! These babies will be the ribbon that ties our blended family together, and I can’t wait to share this next chapter, from pregnancy to newborn life and beyond.
My hope is that by sharing my journey, I can help other parents, step-parents, and co-parents feel a little less alone.
I’m so glad you’re here!
