WTF

Has anyone seen that meme online that says "I whisper WTF to myself at least 20 times a day"?  I read that and thought, 20? No, more like 50.  On any given day I'm usually running around in stretch pants that are stretched far too thin, you know where you can see my skin (or butt-crack) through them.  I have not brushed my hair, although usually I am lucky enough to brush my teeth (go me).  I am chasing my toddler, who at the moment, ONLY wears "princess dresses", which is totally fine- but comical because she is usually dressed impeccably while I run around like Charlize Theron in the movie "Monster".  If you don't understand that reference then you need to google it.  

Like I said in my intro, I'm really into fashion. HOWEVER, (spoiler alert) on days where I'm not working and/or going somewhere that involves adult interaction - I am not dressed up.  I don't have makeup on and I probably didn't get a shower in.  It can make you feel like you're really just sucking at life when your toddler(s) finally go down for a nap and you take a little scroll through your instagram feed.  You're like oh, look at this mom of 4- she's driving around in her Range Rover with a fresh bouquet of peonies on her passenger seat while her kids casually sip organic green juices and wear coordinating outfits that match her new Gucci bag.  What?
This is a WTF moment. I'm not going to say I don't like these photos because they're appealing, but it's not reality.  Deep down we know that, but sometimes these photos can make you feel like you're just not doing enough.  You are.  To the moms out there that do their best: that's enough.  Go you. 

Ive decided now that I'm in my 30's I need to start a better collection of "athleisure" clothing because 75% of the time that's what I'm wearing- (still trying to avoid the Charlize/Monster look).  I've included some of my favorite go to mom friendly outfits here.

Hi,

.....About me.  That's what I'm supposed to write here, right?  I'm 31 years old (don't ask me how the F that happened because I was just 21, I swear).  I'm a former professional cheerleader and I'm a married (blonde) mom to one wild toddler.  I run my own business (hairdresser) & my husband (he's amazing) runs his own business (gym owner/trainer).  We're basically busy AF and I decided why not throw blogging into the mix, (rolling my eyes).  

Seriously though,  I'm realllllly into fashion.  It all started when I was 18 years old.  I had absolutely ZERO (I mean z e r o) fashion sense and my good friend who shall remain nameless (just kidding, you Megan Woodruff) told me that it was a good idea to open a Nordstrom cc in order to buy these Victoria Beckham jeans with the bedazzled crown on the back pocket.  Does anyone remember those?  So that's what I did.  I filled that application out slipped those bad boys on (they fit like a glove) and walked my ass out of Nordstrom feeling like a million bucks.  Side note: I think this credit card (my first) had a $250-500 limit.  So I basically maxed that thing out on one pair of pants. 

Although from that point forward my fashion sense was not on point (at all) I knew I was drawn to it somehow.  My early 20s were more of a Shit show as far as how I dressed but that was more or less because I was pretty broke & hadn't quite found my own style.  I'm not saying you have to have money to dress well, BUT I will say, I love nice things.  Who doesn't?  I blame those VB jeans......

 I plan on writing about real things too.  I love fashion and that's one huge thing I want to focus on, but I'm also a mother, business owner, and wife.  I have great days and I have days where I wear a shower cap and sneak cigarettes on the side of my house.  It's all about balance.  I am not a faker if you catch my drift.  If you have a sense of humor, like cute clothes, and can handle some sarcasm you've come to the right place.

Side note:  I also post a lot of annoying healthy meal posts and plan on sharing some recipes
