Okay, in all honesty, this blog was a real pain in my ass to set up! I wouldn’t say I’m super tech savvy & all of the new blog lingo really confused the heck out of me. So I emailed, like, every company involved and then finally figured it all out myself, like the super-smart-goddess-queen that I am.
So basically, my only goal for this blog is to be my authentic self…which is also my only goal in life. (Aside from, like, making millions of dollars and being super hot and trendy and the best mom & wife ever, like the rest of you.)
All jokes aside, I’m a people person & a people pleaser. As many of you can attest to, the first time I meet someone, I spend the majority of the conversation avoiding all surface level questions and getting down to the juicy stuff. (If this was us, please leave our first interaction in the comments!) My husband likes to tell me I “don’t have a filter” & that’s how I like it. I don’t want to waste my time asking about your boring job or favorite color & I don’t want to be asked those things either! So please feel free to ask raw, unfiltered questions & expect the same of my replies!
So far, my favorite part of the blogging process has been making a list of post ideas & chuckling to myself about how basic I am & how much I love that. Topics will range from the most rudimentary (beauty hacks, duh) to “Life- Altering Experiences: A Full Series”. I will try to avoid fashion advice, aside from wearing sweats whenever possible, because last week (as seen on my Snapchat) Jordan informed me that my “home decor & cooking” were “on point”, but my outfits choices weren’t quite up to par.
In conclusion, this will basically be my live journal, with hopes of relating to every person that reads this in some form or fashion. I will also try to avoid embarrassing friends, family, my child, & strangers when at all possible! Full disclosure: there will likely be lots of wine content, some cussing, & lots of self-love!!!
If you made it this far, please comment with the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever asked you (or that you’ve witnessed) & whether you loved me or hated me for it!
Sitting here typing and erasing and typing again of all the funny, memorial, and amazing memories we’ve shared! Currently your on pause on FaceTime while I waited around for your blog to launch!!! I am so so very proud of you!!! There is no one on this earth like you!! Let me think…we’ve had to many memories to honestly share even a portion of them. From the second we met we just knew we’d never be friends! You with your button down adidas pants and French braids and me with my ugg boots and mini skirts. Just didn’t seem to go together ….but we do. You are my person in every season of life. You are constant and invested in person you come across (currently asking you how to spell words because well that’s not my best qualitiy) . Let’s be real…you are A HOOT making everyone laugh from the server at a restaurant to your closest friends and family. I could go on and on and I’m starting to sound creepy. I love you!!!
You ask so many out of the blue things, I can’t even think of one lol. You’re hands down one of the funniest people i know and you really don’t have a filter, which I love. I’m so so happy you’re doing this and I can’t wait to read all of your future posts! Love you more than anything, sis!
Congrats on the beautiful blog babe! Also, thank you for being one of the few bloggers who cusses-so refreshing! Love you!
You know I love me some 4 letter words every once in awhile 😉 LOVE YOU!
“Tiny little butthole”
I am crying & read this out loud to Jordan 😂😂😂😂 I still think that every time I change a diaper! Miss you soooooo much!
I don’t particularly have anything to add per your post. But, I’m very intrigued by your blog and excited to read!! Congratulations Sarah!!
Thank you, Paddy! I hope it lives up to the intriguing standard 😉
Congrats on the start up of your blog! I absolutely love the real ness of the entire post. I can’t wait to follow your journey!
I can’t help but to think how much you remind me of your Mom! She had that “speak the truth” way about her! Your life is your book, and I know you will bring some laughs and some cries with your journey! I know you have said many funny things, but it’s been so many years ago that I was around you, I can’t remember! The blog will be a fun way to keep up with you, and your precious little family! 😘
That is always the best compliment & I hope the girls and I can continue her “speak the truth” legacy!
Thanks, Sonya! I have many fond memories at your house & with your family! 🙂
I have never met you but I know Maddie through my Niece Jenna. I think speaking the truth and being blunt is a great attribute. I am the same way and if people don’t like it, they can move on. I do not have time for drama. I will try to read your post I always love to hear from real people. Good luck with your Blog!
Thanks, Jennifer- I couldn’t agree more!
Thanks for the support 😉
Hahahahaha talking about my IBS. “So have you shirt yourself before like shit your pants”
LOL I feel like we have that convo everytime I see you!!!!
I don’t know you but I love your baby sister so I’m sure you’re awesome too!! I’ll keep reading!!
She is easy to love! Thanks for the support 🙂 I SO appreciate it!
I remember is working together and I can’t think of anything specific that you did or said, but you were one of my favorite people to work with! You’re hilarious and absolutely stunning! I can’t wait to read your blog!
That is so sweet, Darrien! Thank you soon much 🙂 I am super excited/nervous to have a blog, but it’s really fun- especially since I am home with Warner right now!
The time you asked Brandon (while he was a correctional lieutenant), “so do you like, take the inmates out and play with them?” 😂😂😂
I just started a blog too so this was super fun and refreshing to read! I feel the same way about blog set up HAHA! Good work!!!
One of my favorite memories of you and your unfiltered questions was from our company retail day. Kristen from our sales team asked me who you were because you had met her that day and said something along the lines of “Hi, what’s your job here? Are you married? Do you have kids?” Which may not seem that weird, but Kristen was very young and from the East Coast where people typically get married later.
As open as the Internet is these days, I won’t expose these poor folks to all the topics we used to cover during our weekly lunches! Your blog is too pretty for that!! You know what I mean!!
I couldn’t possibly relate more to this post! We can turn the blogosphere upside down together!
