When you first meet your person, everything is romantic, perfect, and shiny. Her emotional outbursts and shopping habits are ADORABLE and QUIRKY. His borderline hoarding and unnatural love of Pearl Jam are SO CUTE. You will obviously love each other forever and ever and ever, while never fighting, and living in a rosy bubble for the rest of your life.

If you've been a reader for any amount of time, y'all know that I value authenticity in a big way. For example, I will never tell you that I'm a great, Pinterest-y, fun mom. I'm NOT. I'm the mom that forgets school pictures and buys all her snacks from the (non organic) grocery store. And, I won't ever tell y'all that a leather miniskirt is my go-to outfit for, well, probably ANYTHING. Unless "leather miniskirt" is code for ACTUAL SWEATPANTS. (Which is my go-to outfit for everything.)
Read Moretake your kids to new york, they said. It'll be FUN they said.
(To be fair, it WAS really fun. Until it wasn't. But that wasn't NYC's fault. We'll get to that.)
John and I had the idea to take the kiddos to the city for AG's birthday. We surprised them on a Thursday morning, and they were thrilled. Since this is my first time taking kiddos to NYC, I thought I would share a little roundup of the things we did RIGHT. And then some MJOR PARENT FOULS.
Read MoreIt's fall y'all. And if you follow pretty much any blogger on social media, then you know how we love us some fall. Fall brings all the good things: PSLs, NEW TV, college football, and buying up ALL THE BOOTS without experiencing guilt and shame.
(Jk. Of course I experience guilt and shame. That's what therapy is for.)
Read Moreit's monday y'all! And what's better on a Monday than talking about our favorite ways to avoid reality?
(Well, NO. It's really Tuesday. But this was SUPPOSED to be posted on a Monday. Except that Mondays hate me and I can't be held responsible.)
I have always loved tv, so you can imagine my insane obsession with Netflix. And hulu. And probably just apple tv in general. I'm pretty sure I would marry them all if that wasn't weird, and probably NOT LEGAL.
Read Morewell, my original plan today was to write about some of my August favorites. But I have to be honest, with Hurricane Harvey slamming the Texas coast this month, I'm just can't say I'm wild about August in general.
(Hurricane Harvey, you are most definitely NOT a favorite.)
Read MoreToday we're gonna get into some friday faves, but my favoritest thing about today is that it's my BIRTHDAYYYYYYYY!
I'd like to tell you that I'm one of those people who are all, OH DON'T CELEBRATE ME, IT'S CELEBRATION ENOUGH JUST TO BE ALIVE. But we all know that would be a lie.
Read MoreY'all. I think we all know that I'm not what you would call a "beauty blogger." If we're being real honest, I'm more of what we would call "focus on the clothes because makeup is confusing" kind of blogger.
But, I have ALWAYS loved and appreciated great skincare products. Not to mention, I have confused the heck outta my skin by trying every potion I can get my hands on. Therefore, I am deeming myself a skincare expert. (Also, you should understand that this title of "expert" exists only in my mind.)
Read MoreWe all like to be tan, #amiright? I mean who doesn't want to lose 10 lbs in 10 minutes, and hey, how about someone invent a perma-tan product so that I can stop working out?
Hey Sherri? Someone already did. It's called the SUN.
Read MoreMoms are pretty much total #bosses, right? And I think we can agree that we are all seriously HUSTLING. Like all day, erryday. (The answer is NO. I don't know why I think I can get away with saying erryday. BUT, I'm GONNA.) Whether you are a mom who works inside the home, outside the home, or some combination of both, you're going to LOVE this post by my blogger friend, Cait. She's gonna fill us in on what her daily mom hustle looks like, and we can all be inspired. And maybe slightly jealous of the way her husband brings her coffee in bed. (AHEM. Hi, JOHN.)
Read MoreIt's here, y'all. We've almost survived the school year. Let's ignore the fact that there are 37 projects due in the next week and a half. (Don't mind me. I'm just over here stress eating nutella and crying.)
(Oh, and basically doing AG's project. You know, to reward her for making the excellent decision to procrastinate until the very last minute.)
