Sometimes I go and find these great blogs of beautiful people - some I know, some I don't.
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but reading these can put me in a destructive cycle.
Because....
I don't cook 3 healthy balanced meals each day with food from the local farm.
I am not a great seamstress who can make her own clothes.
I am not a thrifter that finds crazy awesome things and then alters them to fit.
I am not a great photographer.
I am not a super crafty person.
I don't own a popular blog that hosts giveaways from everyone's favorite stores.
I am not an eloquent writer.
I don't have perfect hair and skin or do my own tutorials.
I am not a fashion icon.
I don't work out everyday.
On some blogs it seems like people do all of these things on a daily basis. Seriously.
I'm lucky if I get a shower in - added bonuses for hair and makeup done and wearing something other than yoga pants.
I feel fancy if I take any sort of photos with a real camera rather than my phone.
I'm lucky if I make one meal a day that has a veggie AND a main dish.
I can't seem to have more than 1 room clean at a time.
But that's real life - and I love it.
I have a wonderful husband who chose me and is my best friend. He is a hard working, kind man who is also smoking hot. Nice bonus.
I have a sweet bright daughter who is the light of my life and teaches me things on a daily basis. Her curiosity, perseverance, and kindness are examples to all.
I am blessed with a healthy strong body and a few talents that the Lord saw fit for me to posses.
We love in a great home and are blessed more than we deserve for we are in want of nothing.
We have great friends who surround us on every side. I know dozens of people who would [and have] dropped everything to help us with anything.
We have the gospel in our life that is the greatest source of peace, comfort, and guidance.
