I try not to get through the roof personal on my blog just because that isn't what it is for. But, what'eves!
Lately I have been getting out of the house more often, which is super nice! I am a work at home mom so I am pretty much a home body and spend most of my days fighting cabin fever.
My style is very expressive of my personality and I like it that way, but sometimes things people do or say can get under my skin. But, when the only people you see day to day are the ones that make you feel the worst at the end of it, there is something that has to change.
I realize that being a mother doesn't automatically make me some super human capable of taking on the world without a flinch. But I do want to exude a confidence around my daughter that she can draw from. I don't want to have to fight to defend who I am or why I am me to everyone.
I know that I'm not perfect, and there will always be things that I can change, but the core pieces of my personality will always be the same and I would rather own them instead of working through an obnoxious reason why I am who I am.
That's all I guess, I suppose I had to get it off my chest in a more concrete way.
Thanks for reading :)
