The thought of having too many events on my calendar makes me so anxious. Like, I seriously have issues with it. My family & friends know this about me, and respect that I need my downtime.

Thanks for visiting my blog, which is a work in progress. I'm a (cool) mom & wife with a full time job, trying to balance it all. My interests include Pinot Grigio, Netflix, blogging, fashion, the treadmill & reading celeb gossip when I am not busy packing lunches & wiping butts. Cheers!
