Confession : this isn't my first blog.
Last year I started a blog for my friends and family, to catalog the days with the girls. I loved it! I took pictures, planned activities, edited pictures, and thought a lot about what I wanted to write. Many family and friends have read it and ask why I havent been blogging recently.
The problem was, it wasn't really true.
Well, thats not completely true either. It was us, and it was all true content, but it was more like the pictures you post on social media. It's the ones where you look pretty and your house is clean and your kids don't have peanut butter smeared in their hair. ( side eye to my youngest) The blog pictures are beautiful, I treasure them. But I felt like I had to "create" perfect scenarios to blog about, or make the kids look perfect. Or get out of yoga pants for goodness sake, or nobody would care what I had to say. I felt like I would be judged, or.....I don't know what really. It was true, it just wasn't the truthiest truth.
The truthiest truth is that life is just messy. I'm the clumsiest person you probably know. Im prone to getting myself into absurd situations, much to my husbands embarrassment. I hate laundry with a passion, and right now my kid is wearing a swimsuit bottom as underwear. Our life is beautiful, and wonderful and smeared with peanut butter most days.
I could have continued with my blog, but I wanted to stop censoring myself and start with a clean slate. To be more truthier ( or authentic for my friends that prefer actual English words). There are posts I will transfer to here, because they are beautiful, and funny, and true.
I'm pretty sure, that my truthier self will be just as beautiful and funny.
