It’s so weird. I get these crazy ideas for blog posts when I’m putting Brooklyn to sleep. As I was singing ”Moon River” to her tonight I started thinking about how that moment in ”Breakfast at Tiffany’s“ is completely unfiltered. That is the true Holly Golightly; not the pearls and heels we know her as but the simple laid back person she truly is.
I know what you’re thinking. How on earth does this relate to anything I do? Well, I was looking at my Instagram posts and realized how hodgepodge it is. It’s not the beautiful monochromatic instagram most successful bloggers have, but it’s me!! I am the kind of girl who you will see wearing heels setting a beautiful table listening to Diana Krall and the next day roasting hotdogs on a fire in holey jeans listening to Luke Bryan. I‘m a little mixed up in that way. We will just call it “well rounded”😉. But, that is the whole reason I started this blog in the first place!! I’m not going to give you monochromatic perfection OR completely unfiltered “this is all my dirty laundry” stuff. I set out wanting to share my balance between my dressed up in heels personality and the realities of motherhood.
Motherhood did not come easy to me. Yes I wanted kids, but I didn’t realize what I had signed up for. I’m sure many of you can relate. It was HARD starting out. It took me a lot of trial and error and frankly just a lot of time before I figured out how to balance the person I was and the mother I wanted to be. When I started this blog I thought, “If I could just help one mom figure out how to find balance in this crazy thing called motherhood, then it‘s worth it.”
Hopefully I can show you my true Holly Golightly side and still deliver the Golightly glam that everyone grew to know and aspire to be. Because, I think we ALL have a little of both sides of Golightly in us. And, if you’ve never seen “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and have NO idea what I’m talking about, I suggest you go watch it so you can relate! LOL!!😉
