Being an adult feels like it's 50% bills and 50% taking painkillers and knowing it's going to be half an hour or more until you feel better but just getting on with your day until then. #AdultingAndStuff
No one told me that I'd be sick the entire first year of my son's daycare life. I'd have stocked up on a heck of a lot more vitamins. And tissues. #momlife#mouthbreather
I NEED BOOKS! For real, #WritingCommunity - send me your favorite reading lists, whether it's your favorite bookshelf on goodreads, your top 25 bucket list books from your blog, a list from your book club list, or your great-aunt's whole library. Any genre of fiction! #amreading
Casey knew her life was objectively perfect. Big house, adorable daughter, perfect wife, fulfilling job. But she couldn't breathe. It was a perfect life for someone else. The perfection of it all was strangling her. She never felt like she could breathe.
