About us!

Welcome!!!

This blog has been on my mind for about seven years. I’ve started this blog and then stopped again more times that I can count. Mainly because I was too afraid of what everyone would think. I thought that because I wasn’t where I wanted to be in life that I had to wait until I had it all figured out.

But why?

Why not show everyone how I’m working to make myself a better person. Why not show them that everyone doesn’t have it all figured out, that they aren’t all alone. I can’t tell you how many times I got on a mom blog and got off feeling terrible about myself. Thinking “She works, goes to the gym, looks presentable at all times and her children and house look immaculate. What’s wrong with me?” Meanwhile I was sitting home as a stay-at-home mom, with my messy hair and sweats and my house looked like a tornado went through it and my kids had dressed themselves and were covered in glitter.

But why not show the messy stuff, the hard things, the things that every mom is going to go through at some point. Why not show real life? So that is what I’m going to try to do. Because I can tell you right now, I definitely don’t have it all figured out. So, join me on my journey to be the best version of me.
