This Loaf is Bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Baking. It’s my happy place. I really think I will be that mom that always has the home baked cake at the school cake walk, will send her kids to school with (homemade) healthy, fun, yummy snacks, and will be the first to sign up to put on class parties. Yep, THAT mom. The kind that is part of a stroller walking (maybe running [gasp]?!) club, that stays home with her kids, that cooks dinner every night, that takes her kids to movies in the park, on fun play adventures, and only lets them play on her iPhone on special occassions. Or..ugh,  if I’m really being honest…. I guess that is just the kind of mom I WANT to be.

The 8 Pillars of My Unhappiness

I’ve been thinking a lot about being unhappy. Why am I so unhappy? Is this blog going to make me even more unhappy now that I’m focusing on it so much? Where do I even begin to become happier?

This is my life. Wait, what?

I never used to be afraid. I was risky, spontaneous, a thrill seeker, always out to prove I could hang with the boys. It probably stems from having a really cool older brother, this always needing to prove myself.

But then one day, I was afraid. Of everything. It’s like a switch flipped and I became scared.
