Here We Go

Hello blogging world! I have to be honest from the start, if you choose to read and follow my blog than you will be in the front row seat viewing my daily thoughts, struggles, projects and journey. You see, I read and research from time to time and have come to the conclusion that there are way to many blogs out there that portray a very perfect, simple life as a Mom. I find myself comparing what they do and what I don't do and end up feeling less than. Who else has felt this way? Not just through blogging but through other social media. We all know that Mom down the street that seems to always have time to throw on a cute (and stylish) outfit with full make up and hair while carting her children around town with various activities and shopping, house is spotless and meals are healthy and beautiful. That is all fine and dandy but is it reality? Take it from me, I have tried this and yes, i was successful in about 80% of it (Don't own any really stylish clothes) but at the end of the day I found myself exhausted and not fulfilled as I had expected. Is that how joy and happiness looks like in their life? (which is great if it is) Maybe so but not mine, spending time with my boys in yoga pants and a T-shirt, park outings, letting the house get messy from play, cooking grilled cheese sandwiches and dinosaur chicken nuggets with love (of course). This is just the tip of the iceberg of what joy and happiness looks like in my life. I have come to realize and acknowledge the blessings and things I have instead of wishing for things I think I need or want. This brings me to the reason I am starting this blog. I plan to share my raw, real thoughts and emotion, encouragement as well as some fun projects (successes and fails). My hope is to offer you with someone to relate with, laughter, tears and support as we take this journey together as Mothers in this glamorized, fast paced world.  We tend to loose sight of who we really are as we try and keep up but remember ladies you have a divine calling and are a daughter of God. Anyway, Don't miss understand me, I am not saying let yourself go. I am just saying don't do it for anyone else's standard but take care of yourself the way that makes you empowered as a woman. This is me.

Thank's for your support in advance, I promise not all posts will be so serious so keep checking back. You might be surprised on what you find.
