Our Story
For 25 years, Jason and I have been building a life side by side, and for 21 of those years, our world was beautifully wrapped up in raising our three incredible boys. Now, as our sons launch into their own journeys and take on the world, we find ourselves at an exciting turning point—stepping into our empty nest not with sadness, but with open arms, big plans, and pure excitement.
To us, empty nesting isn’t an ending; it’s an invitation to a whole new adventure. This next chapter is all about growth—both individually and as a couple. For me, it’s a season to reconnect with myself, dive into new passions, and redefine who I am in this stage of life. For us together, Jason and I are focused on finding our “new normal”—growing deeper, exploring new places and experiences, and showing that life after raising kids can be the most vibrant and joyful chapter yet.
About
Our Origin
The Wide Open Nest began as a quiet impulse to document what comes next after children fly the coop—curiosity, reinvention, and renewed identity.
