Balance

Motherhood is not about perfection. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I am learning how to juggle life as a mom, wife, writer and friend. I am beginning to accept the fact that being a great mom is as simple as spending a rainy afternoon baking chocolate chip muffins with my toddler.

I am learning to ignore all the pressures to be perfect and it feels good. Life is about balance.

I am a stay-at-home mom.

I am a freelance writer.

I always buy organic milk.

I never buy organic eggs.

I recycle because I care about the environment.

Rosemary wears disposable diapers.
 

I am training for a 5K race.

I just ate a chocolate chip muffin.

I belong to a book club.

It's called "Read Between the Wines".

There are days when I find educational activities to stimulate my two-year-old.

There are days when I let Henry watch two or three episodes of Paw Patrol...in a row.

 

I am passionate about the outdoors and introducing children to nature.

I am afraid of spiders.

I love to plan parties.

I hate hosting.
 
We believe in babywearing.

We own a double stroller.

I know I will always strive to be the best version of myself, but I'm also learning to love my imperfections.

Perfectly happy.
