Winter was good to us, but we’re excited for Spring. Hoping to update this space more regularly, but no promises. I said that last time and look how long it’s been.

6 years ago...

my now husband sent me a message on here asking if I’d be down to grab coffee and get to know each other.

We’ve bought two cars, a house, had a child, and made a ton of memories since. The Internet is weird.

Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, live perfect, and work perfect, I can avoid or minimize criticism, blame and ridicule, the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame. All perfectionism is, is the 20-ton shield that we carry around hoping that it will keep us from being hurt.
