The Big Why

Never thought I would be a blogger.  Lately, though, Pinterest has led me to many different blogs of people who seem to have it all together.  Perfect moms, perfect sewers, bakers, party planners, gift makers, etc. etc. etc.  I'm not really that great at anything.  I don't really have that strong of opinions about much of anything.  Really, I don't have much to say about much of anything.  (I might regret saying that later)  So why blog?  I think surely there must be other people like me out there who don't have it all together.  If I can be encouraging to even one of those people, then that's why I'm gonna blog.  Us regular people have to stick together! 

So here's why I'm calling myself the regular mom.  I work outside the home.  My kids go to public school (I know, gasp).  We rent our house.  I like to coupon, but not excessively.  I'm frugal, but I like clothes and shoes and bags and ...  I like to dress stylish, but need a tutorial on how to do it.  I like to sew, but again need a tutorial.  I'm not creative.  I try to feed my family healthy foods, but they still prefer processed foods.  I really want to be organized, but I'm just not.  I really want to work out, but I usually don't.  Is that enough? 

I guess you just need to know not to come here for advice on any one thing or for creative ideas or tutorials.  Or recipes.  Or workout tips.  But if you want to feel better about yourself because at least one other person out there doesn't have it all together, then this might be the blog for you!
