So, my original thought for this blog is far from the way I’m going to be starting my first post… but I figure I’d rather just get to it than sit around trying to be a perfectionist about the way that I present myself.
I’ll keep it simple: I’m a woman – I’m in my 20s, I have a 9 month old son, I’m a work at home mother – which means I work full time but I also have my baby full time. I’m sure all of you other moms out there know + anyone who works from home… this is freaking insane! I’m not sure why I agreed to that, but that’s another story!
I’m a perfectionist. Generally speaking, I won’t even start something in my life at this point if I don’t know that I can finish it exactly the way that I like it. (Trust me when I say, I’m working on this LOL… nobody likes to be this over the top!) Above all, I love the crap out of my son and all I want to do is better myself as a woman, every single day.
Ultimately, the reason I created this blog was for a creative outlet – and one of my favorite ways to express myself is through food.
Like many other women in the health food industry these days ~ my love and passion for cooking creative, healthy food originally stemmed from an eating disorder that I first battled with in my early teen years. I don’t believe ED’s are ever really resolved, as it’s unlike other addictions where you can cut yourself off, cold turkey. Food is something we interact with every day to survive – thus, the need to create a healthy and beautiful relationship with the foods that nourish us.
I hope to share my passion in a way that is relatable to other people, and just connect! I’m a complicated girl, just like the rest of us (no matter how simple we claim to be) … I live in my imagination, and I like it there! I want to experience many adventures and share them for years to come. I hope I can communicate these ideas and adventures well enough to spark some great conversation, and new friendships!
TTFN xoxo – Steph
