TMI Brentise Style? What does that even mean?

     Don't panic, I won't be posting anything too inappropriate just maybe things that you would otherwise keep to yourselves. Why? Because I'm pretty sure someone else has done the same thing and it's more common than you think.

     So, I'm a mom. I'm not Martha Stewart. I'm probably more like you than any other mom out there, we just aren't well represented. Maybe there is a fear that we are not good enough because we don't grow everything we eat, make everything we use and wear, or live on less than $2/day. Let's face it, we fake it til we make it with parenting. Take all the tips you can, discard what doesn't work in your family, use what does.

     The point is, I'm really doing the best I can with the resources I have, be that financial, spiritual, or just how much sanity I have left in the moment. I have awesome parent moments that are cancelled out by the less than awesome moments. My kids have a roof over their head, food in their bellies, and lots of love in their lives.

     I'm starting this so I can see how we progress through time and maybe remember stories along the way that would otherwise be forgotten. A virtual scrapbook, because I can't seem to get my act together to make a real one. Pictures that have never left my phone might actually be put to good use. My kids are bound to be mortified, I wouldn't be doing my job otherwise, but you may be as well. So begins the journey...
