Excuses, Excuses

I realized I failed to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Korey and I... am a mother of 3. Twin boys who are 10 months and a daughter who is almost 3. And I already used my excuse. "I am a mother of 3" It's my excuse for being late, not waxing and never wearing makeup. Before kids I was this perfectly pruned specimen. I tanned and plucked and whitened my teeth regularly. My criteria for leaving the house now is "Do I have any bodily fluids on my clothes?" My poor husband complained about my prickly legs the other night and I considered not shaving for awhile so it would be softer. And as I type I am looking down at 3 month old chips of nail polish on my toes. I did find this awesome eye shadow a couple weeks ago so I've been wearing makeup on occasion. I really wanted this blog to focus on the woman behind the mom. I forget that I am a person apart from being a wife and a mother. That I am not only the person who changes poop and washes clothes but the woman who used to love fashion and product and salons. Who used to read and cook extravagant meals. As moms, we spend all say focusing on someone other than ourselves so hopefully this inspires you dig those old heels out of the back of the closet or make an appointment for an eyebrow wax or just have an adult train of thought. Hey I might even shave my legs tonight!

  1. Korey...I know exactly what ya mean. I don't even know the last time my hair straightener got some action, and makeup? What's that?? Before I had my kids ..My hair was always perfect, I had all the latest trends clothes wise....and now I'm lucky to have a clean on shirt and a pony tail. :) I just keep reminding myself that this won't be forever, and to enjoy the small stuff bc before we know it..the kids will be grown up!
