To say I was nervous to put myself out on social media and blogging 10 months ago would be understatement. I mean, why would anyone even care what a 40-ish single mom in Alabama was writing about and cooking – much less my parenting highs and lows and my reality checks that my type A-personality doesn’t have it all figured out??  But for some reason it did, and I am so thankful!

What I have learned over the past few months is that being REAL, not pretending like things are perfect or easy, resonates with a lot of you. AND there’s a lot of comradery, support, and motivation when you just admit and embrace this. Life isn’t about perfection, but rather just doing your best in whatever place you’re in – something we all “know” but is a lot harder to actually practice on a daily basis – and why I started this online journey.

We all do a lot better when we aren’t trying for those Pinterest-perfect images of foods, kids, parenting, health, and life. So THANK YOU for following along with me through this crazy journey of life!
