It adds character, right?Sometimes the projects I work on are pretty and creative and interesting, but sometimes they’re just necessary everyday kinda things.

Follow my blog with BloglovinThis post will probably give you a little bit more of an insight into my failings as a mom, but that’s OK!If you’re human, you might just have the same failings and we can cheat our way through these things together.. Do you ever have one of those moments when you think you’re being a super fun mom, doing neat things with your kids, making treats, and generally being awesome?

Like when you decide that you’re going to bake cookies with your kids even though you’re super exhausted and have a million other things to get done.You bake the cookies because you know it will make you feel accomplished and your kids will be thinking “Wow, what fantastic parenting I’m receiving right now.These are exactly the kinds of moments that I’m going to remember fondly when I look back on my childhood.” The cookies come out of the oven, you let them cool, pour the glass of milk and bring them to the table in a big triumphant Norman Rockwell kind of moment.

You’ve gone above and beyond!And then your daughter says to you “Mom, aren’t we going to at least decorate them?”.

The cookies aren’t enough.

You need it now!Really, I think that everyone who can string a sentence together should have a blog.

Everyone has some knowledge or experience to share that would be valuable to other people and the time you put into a blog really can pay off in a lot of ways over time.Plus it can be a lot of fun!.

There are a lot of bloggers who put countless hours into the work they do on their blog, but I’m not one of them.I really am inspired by all of those ambitious bloggers who work from dawn til way past dusk every single day, plugging away, learning, growing, and providing so much value to their readers.
