It’s funny when you start putting out there all your yuckies. Those things that were easier to keep hidden. What happens is you start finding the people who feel and think like you.
And that is amazing!
But I know you’re all wondering. What’s next? What can I expect to read, think, and feel from this blog. Most importantly is it going to be worth my limited time? And the answer is…. I think so! I mean what else are you going to read while you’re sitting on the toilet hiding from your toddler. It’s way more fun finding someone to be real with than browsing Pinterest and feeling bad that the Bento box you tried to make for your kid was actually just a Lunchable.
So here’s the plan! I’ll let you all in on what the coming weeks and posts are going to look like.
New posts are going to come your way on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The plan is to keep them short, honest, real, and inspirational. We want you to leave feeling like someone understands and isn’t asking you to stretch beyond the capacity of the day. Just a place where people get that life isn’t always puppies and rainbows.
Every once in a while with a cup of coffee and a little courage you can do something awesome!
Occasionally on a Friday, I’ll be reaching out to women in my life that I think have it all together. They’ll either be sharing their ways to GET IT TOGETHER or they’ll be sharing their hidden closets. I guess that will be up to them…. and I look forward to sharing the space with other women and their thoughts.
And since on a blog like this you just can’t ignore MONDAY. We’ll have a once a month Monday. This will be short because… Monday. And it’ll probably just be a little funny for your day but hopefully we’ll be able to share a giggle on this Once a Month- Monday. Honestly, I don’t want to give Monday any more value than it deserves! 🙂
And there you go. That’s the line up.
Want to peek into my secret content box? You know you do!
Here’s a few things in the lineup! Get excited. Get REAL excited!
I am So Not A Soccer Mom
How to Plan ANYTHING When You’re So Not Together
How ADHD is So Not Winning
Why I Am So Not Good With People
I am So Not Sexy
Homeschooling is So Not Easy
I am So Not Doing Bedtime
I am So Not Skinny
Have you ever sat down and made a list of all the things you are SO NOT? When the seeds for this blog started planting in my head and heart, I just got out notebook and started writing. I filled an entire page in less than 10 minutes and the ideas just keep coming. I can imagine that if I had to fill a page of things I thought I did well- it would be much more difficult and I probably wouldn’t be writing this blog. The thing is, when you talk about failure, you only run out of things to talk about when you stop trying hard things. Or trying things in general. I’m just not the person who stops trying things. Aren’t you so lucky to reap the benefits of my daily disasters?!

My goal is to be a funny meme making Queen and I would love for you to share them! So don’t be afraid to share something that makes you spit your coffee out… or makes you shake your head and say, “You know it sister!”
Are You Going to Sell Stuff?
As of right now this blog doesn’t sell anything. I love writing things that Mommies, Women, and Society need to hear. But I am writing this blog for many of the reasons other bloggers do…. to create freedom for my family! In the future I might consider selling stuff. I handcraft some pretty cool stuff. Especially if you’re a Disney mom! I’m also an event planning ninja. So I know if you’re a SO NOT TOGETHER person like me then you could benefit from some of my event planning templates etc. I’m also considering adding an organizational product line… mostly so I can use it for myself and tell you if it works or if I’m just organizationally impaired! So the answer is yes, no, maybe??? Does that satisfy for now?
BECAUSE WE ALL NEED THIS!
You see my message is not new. What’s new is that I’m finally willing to share it. There are lots of people that would call themselves honest… but they say… yeah I stink but look what I did to stop stinking. We’re still missing the point. I don’t want to miss the point anymore. I wanted to share something that struck home last night as I was scrolling through my Instagram. Lady GaGa, regardless of how you feel about her meat dress or outlandish statements is a pretty good testimony to living authentically. Or at least that is what she wanted everyone to think. Her performance on the Oscars, a pretty large platform, was actually a huge confession that she is a victim of sexual assault. And then she posted this on Instagram.
“My grandmother and my Aunt Sherri both called me the day after the Oscars because I never told them I was a survivor. I was too ashamed. Too afraid. And it took me a long time to even admit it to myself because I’m Catholic and I knew it was evil but thought it was my fault. I thought it was my fault for 10 years. The morning after the Oscars when I talked to my grandmother Ronnie, with tears in her eyes I could hear them welling through the phone she said to me “My darling granddaughter, I’ve never been more proud of you than I am today” Something I have kept a secret for so long that I was more ashamed of than anything- became the thing the women in my life were the most proud of. And not just any women, the one’s I look up to the most.”
*This song has one not so nice word in it. If that’s adverse for you skip past the first minute or so.

You see, the message is for everyone. In all walks of life. Rich, poor, odd, perfect, imperfect. It applies. And that’s why I’m writing. And I hope you’ll like it and hang around.
