Hi friends! I’m Natasha, aka Tash, aka a Mom in the Bleachers (although more accurately, I’m usually positioned right behind home plate so I can have the best view of every single play!)
In case you haven’t guessed it, I’m a baseball mom, and we spend most of our year playing, traveling, or planning for tournaments while our soon to be 10 year old does what he loves: play baseball. I also get dibs on the coach. He happens to be my hubby 😉
When we first signed up for travel baseball, I had no idea what would lie ahead. And while this new lifestyle definitely took some getting used to, I’ve learned a lot of tricks along the way to make it easier, more manageable, and a heck of a lot of fun.
So tighten that messy bun and refill your to-go cup of coffee. You’ve got a long drive ahead of you, I’m sure, while you travel to your tournament. So stay awhile and let’s cheer together.
“You don’t need a ticket to see some of the best baseball in the world, you just need to drive one of the players to the game.”

A little more about Me…

When I’m not watching my son play baseball (and let’s be honest, most days of the week I am watching my son play baseball), I can be found on various writing platforms, Googling my parenting decisions, drinking all the coffee, and coaching my clients to live their best lives.
