If you follow me on Instagram then you have probably seen the pictures from the week long challenge I did. Inspired by a friend, I posted a picture every day of my perfectly imperfect life. All too often we see pictures on social media that can give us a skewed perception of how others live their lives. Naturally, we always show the good stuff and we while we should dwell on the positives, I wanted to show the world that my life isn't always so peachy either. My sweet friend Mary ... View the Post

My day started none too early. I rolled out of bed around 8, ... View the Post
