Bless This Mess(age)

Yesterday was one of those kind of days, Momma friends you all know what I’m talking about... My house was a disaster, I was arm deep in Clorox scrubbing anything that stood still in the bathrooms and I could hear my boys (ages 2 and 4) going stir crazy. To be honest, I felt right there with them. I looked at the time and although it seemed like we had been up for 12 hours it was only 11 AM. Still an hour shy of lunch time. I looked up and said “It’s not even noon!

Welcome to my first blog post! First of all, here’s a little background info about me: I’m Brittany and I’m from the Sandhills of North Carolina. I’ve been in North Carolina my entire life,  including college, in Raleigh. I’m a wife and the mother of 2 boys under 5 years old. I love painting, writing, finding good bargains, long walks to the shower-just kidding... showers seem to be optional these days and appear as if I’m qualifying for the Daytona 500. (Someone send a pit crew please) I love Jesus and I give him all the glory for the ways he has blessed my life. I can’t wait to start this blog because it’s something I’ve dreamed of doing for as long as I can remember; well, since they’ve been a “thing”. I hope you forgive my grammatical errors, shear honesty and crazy blogs! I look forward to this journey! XOXO, Brittany
