Perfection. It’s a crazy, unattainable goal, isn’t it? Sadly, I still fall into the trap. Sometimes social media can be exhausting, maintaining this front that we live a picture perfect life. But is it worth it? What is gained if we appear to have it all together, but struggle in silence?
I hope that when you visit this blog, you see an honest representation of my life. Sure, I tend to take pictures and blog about the “prettier” parts, but I hope you never come away feeling less. I don’t have it all together and never will. But that’s okay!
So in the spirit of celebrating, here are a few examples of my wildly imperfect life:
- I currently have a king sized quilt draped across the banister of our stairs since it will not dry in the dryer! It looks ridiculous, but where else am I going to put it to air dry?
- I wear my hair in a top knot almost every day of the week during the summer.
- See that picture above? When I painted our chalkboard wall, I miscalculated how much to paint. When we attached the framing, I was left with a bare strip across the bottom. It drives me crazy and I keep meaning to touch it up, but it’s been months!
- I am a horrible meal planner.
- My boys are best friends, but can fight like animals. Some days, I feel like all I do is discipline and referee.
- I won’t have a William Morris Project post up this week because both of my ideas were busts.
- I should be doing dishes, but instead, I’m blogging.
