A few weeks ago, I posted a picture on facebook of some pretty awesome cow cupcakes that I made for my daughter's third birthday party at Chick-fil-A:
What I didn't mention was the mess I made in the kitchen because I was too stupid to figure out how to transfer the batter from the mixing bowl to the individual cupcake wrappers or my daughter's meltdown when she first saw them because she was apparently hoping for Minnie Mouse cupcakes for her birthday.
The cupcakes did turn out pretty cool though, so it makes sense that I would want to share that with my friends. But I long for authenticity (the good, the bad, and the ugly) even when it comes to social media, which is becoming a major means of communication for me these days.
Alas (couldn't think of a better transition word to fit here), I have created this blog to help bring some balance to those "superior" posts that we all make. My intention is not to vent or complain about my life (so if I do, please call me out on it), but to be honest about my shortcomings, hopefully give you a few laughs, and maybe share some words of wisdom with each other about tough situations that we all face!
hahahaha superior to a family of gerbils. Love your idea behind this and can't wait to read more Chellee!
ReplyDeleteChellee! I love your inspiration for your blog. Thank you for being so real! I can't wait to read more of your posts. You're making me miss blogging!
ReplyDeleteFor middle school Home Ec, I tried to bake a batch of blueberry muffins. I say 'tried' because by the end of the process, the items weren't solid enough to be considered muffins. They looked like muffins, but at the slightest touch would crumble into a pile of muffin crumbs. This was the only solo baking experience of my life.
ReplyDeleteWhich, I guess, leads to the point that I'm super impressed by your cow cupcakes, no matter how many messes you made. Welcome to the BLOGOSPHERE.
Hilarious! Your blog is my favorite so I was kind of sad to think that you would not like mine since it will mostly be about parenting - but I'm glad you were able to kind of relate to at least this post! :)
