Wedding Invitations
I finally finished making my wedding invitations! Going into this project, the only thing I knew was that I wanted them to be cheap, I didn't want them to be super formal since I am getting married at an outdoor flower farm, and I really didn't want them to be too "matchy matchy." So, after a lot of ... Read More
![They say, “Mommin’ Ain’t Easy.”
They’re right.
Especially in the early years of motherhood, when you’re somewhere in your late 20s or early 30s, and have multiple little kids/babies, likely all under the age of 8 years old. At some point in the last decade of your life, everything you knew changed, DRASTICALLY.

But right now, it’s hard.

No matter how many times you do something, it always seems to be waiting for you again – the bottle parts that need rinsing, the clothes that need to be folded, and the kid who needs to be chased down to get their pants on, every single time.
And even once the kids are finally in bed, there are emails to answer, toys to put away, and lunches to make. You have lofty goals and endless to-do lists that never get touched, because by the time you finish wiping down the counters, you can’t imagine doing even one more thing.
Right now? You’re mentally OVERLOADED. You have so many decisions to make...
