I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

Our Easter Blessings

Jesus is Risen! Alleluia!
