AN ESSAY ON FRUSTRATION + SHOPBOP SALE PICKS!

I recently wrote an essay on Letting Frustration Take Over, and I’d love for you to read it! It’s not something I’m proud of, but I know it’s something that a lot of women (mamas in particular) can relate to- heck, men too- so I thought it was important to share. It’s easy to get caught up in striving for perfection, when really all we need to do is to enjoy the beauty in the imperfections. That’s where life is best anyway. :)

And while you’re at it, my other latest posts over on mom.me- less heavy, more fun stuff ;)
