I might be getting better with my home organization, but perfect homemaker? Nope. I’m not perfect. I am not, and never will be, a perfect parent. I will make mistakes and I will question my parenting abilities with my toddler and with my autistic daughter. I’m not perfect. I am judgemental, I’m stubborn, I’m argumentative. Sometimes I’m too quiet and sometimes I say too much. I’m not perfect. And I am so much better off because of it. I’m a recovering perfectionist. I’m an introvert and an empath with a Type A personality. And as a late…

As children, we make friends. Sometimes we make a lot of friends and sometimes we might only make a handful of friends.

Thus, cinnamon, banana, and almond pancakes were born. Or at least in my kitchen. Ingredients for Cinnamon, Banana, and Almond pancakes And that,…
