The truth shall set you free – or so they say! The reality of it all is that no family is perfect. We either have outside noise, or the noise is coming from our own homes, seeking perfection is unrealistic. My family is far from it and this meme here is just a reminder of what we must keep in mind pre and post wedding.
Happy Monday!

As a stay at home mom, I frequently think about other moms that are in my position. It’s no secret that the stay at home parent doesn’t get enough credit. The day to day seems lost in translation to many, except the one living it. And often we need the reassurance, because as mothers – humans, we want to be seen and loved.
Whether you have Chiari Malformation + Syringomyelia or any other illness that physically impairs you from feeling your best, know that you are doing your very best. I often compare myself to the wrong people, to those that don’t have physical pain and not needing to be medicated for pain relief.
I want to reassure you that you are enough.
Just in case you haven’t heard it today, you did good!
You did more cleaning than your body could handle. It’s OK, not to do more, your body will thank you later.
Yes, it’s OK, the rest can wait.
You folded the laundry that had been sitting in the basket for over a week – no judgment, you did it!
You cooked a meal with love, and that’s all your family could ask for.
You’re pushing through the pain with every step you take – you’re a warrior!
Don’t be hard on yourself, you’re 1 in 1,000 uniquely designed people and not everyone will understand – and that’s OK!
Push through, shower; push through, brush your hair; push through, push through, push through.
Take a break, a much needed break.
Know that your illness doesn’t define you – you are beautiful, believe it.
You are so loved, and you are just as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside.
You are not alone.
Chiari sister – I see you.

‘Tis the season for all things Christmas, and that time has begun! Well, if we’re going to be honest, that time of year begins a little early in my household. And here I’ll share with you what’s been on repeat in my home. There’s something so special about Christmas movies, the music, the cheer, that cozy feeling you get inside that get’s you so excited for what’s ahead. We watch them on Netflix and on Amazon Prime, and if you haven’t jumped on the Roku Streaming Stick train, you must – worth the investment!
Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You this movie was released last year and we’ve been hooked ever since!
Home Alone 1 and 2 – Yes! Can’t go through Christmas without watching these a couple of times – OK maybe more than a couple! But, we can’t resist
Peanuts: I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown is simply a classic, with Snoopy and The Peanut Gang, it’s really a must watch!
And finally, because we are a Disney loving family, we don’t miss watching – Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas and Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas
Have you seen any of these titles, I’d love to know.
