My Perfectly Imperfect Life

Well, hello there (& HOPEFULLY welcome back). Chances are if you’ve found this page it’s for 1 of 3 reasons: 

1. You were looking for something entirely different so being here is a happy little accident that you’re not regretting 

2. You were intrigued by the name and decided to stop by and see what it was all about  

C. You‘re a super special person that was sent a link and told “hey check out this thing I just created!”

Either way, you’re here so let’s make the most of it!

A little bit about me, I’m a SAHM to an extremely energetic two year old, married to a guy that drives me absolutely crazy on a daily basis who I wouldn’t trade for all the fudge in the world, reading is my therapy, my sarcasm is next level, and being crafty is pretty much how I like to live my every day life. I have friends, but I’m not the girl with a group. You know, those girls where every time you see them post pictures on social media they’re almost ALWAYS with the exact same people?  Whelp, that is 103% not me. In fact, most of the people I’m friends either don’t know the other friends or aren’t friends with the other friends. I’ve tried to start a book club to remedy this little friendship snafu but basically failed and have decided I’m just not the group girl. I guess it’s a blessing and curse depending on how you look at it, basically the whole glass half empty/half full debate. I tend to believe the glass is there bc I’m thirsty so does it actually matter what terminology is used???

A few months after I started this website, I found out that my mom (aka my best friend aka my role model aka my rock) had Stage IV cancer and there was no knowing what the future was going to bring, only that she planned on fighting tooth and nail so that she could be here. Fast forward to the present day & everything is much more complicated than it was a year ago. I wish I could say that this part of my story will have a happy ending but in my heart I know that‘s something that can’t be guaranteed. What I do know is that when I started this site she was so proud of me and happy that I was doing something for myself, so my intention is to do this now more than ever. I want her to be able to continue being proud of me for as long as I have her here. Mom’s everywhere have blogs or social media pages these days where they talk about the every day struggles, the amazing moments, the shitty as fuck moments, and everything in between that you go through as a mom; the only difference between them and me & is that when things go hard in the beginning I didn’t persist like I should have but I know this now and that’s why I’m going for round two. My mom believed in me when I started and now it’s time I believe in myself.
