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!
