Hi all, my name is Natalie, welcome to the Mitten Monologue, glad you decided to stop by! A brief introduction about myself, I am a registered nurse in Michigan (duh, mitten), I work in a level one trauma Pediatric ER and I love my job. I enjoy working in a collaboratively caring environment that focuses on one common goal. While my work life is incredibly hectic and fast-paced, my home life is the exact opposite as much as possible. During my free time I enjoy going to the gym, reading, baking, spending time with my friends and family or whatever craft has caught my attention for the week. I am passionate about traveling and as beautiful as Michigan is, I leave this state as much as possible. My bucket list is miles long. It brings me joy to share pictures and stories from my adventures with those I am close with and I figured this blog would be a great way to share those things with even more people. I hope to show other 20-something year olds that seeing the world while you’re young and maybe aren’t so restricted by life is a possibility and something to prioritize. Big plans changed in my life a few years ago and I have never been more grateful for the opportunity to see all the places I have and meet so many new people. I hope you are able to gain something from what I have to share here.

Until next time,

Natalie Erin
