Dear Readers,
Welcome! This blog you (might!) have stumbled upon is a safe space... for me... for you, for us all...I'm mostly writing for myself, but hoping to instill inspiration, wisdom, and super cool mom hacks where their needed. (Duh!) I promise to always be a traveler, a reader, an encourager, and most importantly... I will forever be, unconditionally, my girls' mommy!
A few things you should know about me:
- I'm a Texas girl. Now. & Forever.
- I read... a lot, and totally plan on writing a novel at some point in my life. (Sounds like I'm going to go ahead and commit to adding that to my ever-growing bucket list!... it surprised me too!!)
- Green is my favorite color.
- I'm a Swifty. If you don't know what that means...I can't help you.
- I have two beautiful daughters, and a smoking hot husband that ages like fine wine. In addition to the humans, we have 3 dogs (Tug, Hemi & Lily!), 1 betta fish (Ed Sheeran... this is not a joke!), 2 adult African cichlids (Vince Gill & Dolly Parton) that just made like 80 BABIES & didn't eat a single one! (I don't think I'll be naming the 80 babies, but if I do, you'll be the first to know...) & TONS of thriving house plants!
- I love brussel sprouts. In all their glory and forms and will ALWAYS order them if on the menu. (Best to date: Bavette's in Las Vegas. FIGHT ME!!)
- I'm currently working on making my house a home. We've been living here for 9 years, and I feel like I've always been a foot out the door... but the time has come, and we are committed to staying here. So, I'm going to wallpaper EVERYTHING... literally everything!! (Follow along for pics on IG... I'm sure they're forthcoming!)
- I'm sure this list will be ever evolving as I navigate life!
Onto the bigger things... I'm not a normal mom...I'm a self-proclaimed 35 year old cool mom! (I'm not currently accepting opinions on this, because I don't care! All facts... even my age... yikes.) My daughters are cool little "southern ladies." They're raised kind, with manors, and smart as whips little ladies. That's why I'm here trying to be the best example, and version of myself, I can be! I'm currently about 20 lbs. overweight and working on getting rid of that. I used to blame it on my baby making factory, but they're 8 & 9 years old now... time to give that gig up. Listen ladies, I was HOT in college... So, I'm going to be posting how I'm working on it, what's working, and good recipes, etc. You guys are now my accountability partners to get me into the best shape of my life! Thank you for that!
I'll end with this... A vaincre sans peril, on triomphe sand gloire. -Pierre Corneille
It means: To win without risk is a triumph without glory. You're welcome.
In short... I'll be your biggest fan, greatest friend & biggest encourager if you'll have me.
Warmly,
Unconditionally Mommy
