My name is Lacey King. I’m not good at introductions. I’m awkward, shy and usually tired. I am fun, loud and real once you get to know me (isn’t that what everyone says). I’m sure you can relate. Even if you can’t, just nod and smile. I love reading blogs like this because I can usually relate to some of them. I have a hard time relating to the perfect moms on Instagram with perfectly filtered pictures, clean houses and brand deals. My house is covered in dog hair and sticky finger prints (they love each other btw) There is a rolled up dirty diaper laying within 2 feet of me at all times patiently waiting to be thrown away. I love shopping at Goodwill, yard sales and flea markets. I love politics, 90 Day Fiancé and Olive Garden. Most days I have to reheat my coffee a minimum of 3 times and I forget to feed myself until 2:00pm. I still don’t understand why I’m not 100 lbs but that’s for a different post that will contain lots of 4 letter words. I have a 2 year old girl and an 8 week old boy. I married my best friend on May 23, 2015. I have grown a lot in the last 4 years. Parts of me have also died. Sort of like when you have a plant that is growing great but sometimes you have to pick off a few dead leaves so new leaves can grow. I have decided that it’s time to grow a new leaf. I want a place to write my thoughts on motherhood, marriage, life, beauty, cooking, etc. Please excuse all my bad grammar while I attempt to cultivate a place we can relate to one another. I just turned 29 years old and I feel like it’s “now or never” for literally everything lol. I’m trying something NEW guys! Keyword: Trying. Which is really the most important thing we can all do. Just try. So for a person who is not good at introductions, how’d I do?
