Hello, and thank you for coming! My name is Patricia, and I am the owner and author of the content of In The Mommy Trenches.

I’m so happy that you could make it. What began as a simple journal tracking the ups and downs of raising three children under the age of five has evolved into a blog full of product reviews, mom hacks, parenting ideas, and recipes. 

I hope that you will find some words of encouragement in these pages, regardless of whether you are just beginning your journey as a parent or have been doing so for some time. Since we are all travelling together on the same path, let us help and support one another along the way.

When I began blogging for the first time in 2008, I did so on Blogspot. In 2019, I came to the conclusion that it was time to make the transition to WordPress. Instead of making the effort to move all of my postings to the new site, I’ve decided to just leave them where they are. My writing has evolved along with the passage of time, thus some of my earlier work can be found on that page.
