Being a mom has made me really tired and really happy.

-Tina Fey

Why this and why now?

I have three weeks left of summer. Not the season, but the freedom it affords me. I probably should have thought about starting this adventure in March so come the end of June (the beginning of freedom season) I would have a plan, a path, a vision. But no, not me. August 1st it is.

The purpose of this blog is to share. Share ideas, celebrate success, laugh at the missteps and how we are all perfectly imperfect.

To my new friends following me, thank you. I can promise nothing here will be perfect. I will NEVER photograph my child’s lunch with perfecty cut out stars and hearts in a bento box that contains carrots carved into woodland creatures. Hey if that’s your thing, awesome, go for it. You do you as you do…that’s not me. To me a successful day is a day where no one cries (including myself), homework is done (in the non-freedom season) and everyone including our small menagerie has been fed.
