just in case you were wondering


and spotted by me at kind over matter

please forgive a brief commercial announcement.

this blog is my shiny happy land.  i know this is going to shock some of you...but i am not always happy.  or shiny.  and i have been acutely aware of that fact lately.  which makes it hard for me to blog, because i want to talk shiny happy with you people.  sweet pea and beans.
 
legal disclaimer:  this blog is not the summation of me, my husband, children or life.  it does not cover many of my fears or inadequacies.  it is not properly gracious of all the goodness in my world.  i get the luxury of choosing what i want to write about.  it brings about joy and frustration.  i try to write in real time which means that how i'm feeling today is subject to change.  tomorrow.  i bring all of these words to you with love and good intention.  when i stray from the topic of sweet pea or beans, it is with wild abandon that i open myself up for friends, family and stranger friends to critique.  which is not easy.  my words are never complete.  i am human.  i make mistakes.  and i'm learning.  always.  shiny happy is not a perfect world. 

whew.  now you know.  i hope we can still be friends.  i do enjoy living in shiny happy land from time to time, though.  but i gotta keep it real.  thank you so much for reading and commenting.  and sticking around when i am absent for too long. 

i am off to spend a weekend of october magic with my littles.  i am dreaming of ghosts, white pumpkins, pumpkin spice lattes, and halloween costumes.

have a nice weekend!
xoxo

    shiny and happy 100% of the time is highly overrated. who wants to be the same all the time.
