Then I saw a copy of E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web on my bookshelves. It always bugged me when I didn't get Charlotte’s Web references during Jeopardy, so I finally read it. My eldest son is almost 12 and according to google, may be aging out of it. However, here I am 35, and I absolutely loved it.

I'm all for giving myself grace, but sheeeeesh Stephanie. I have let giving myself grace allow me to neglect my hair care, my skin care, and my mental health. I get stuck in a loop of distraction and procrastination. Then I wonder why I feel sad, bloated, and look older than my mom did at my age. No one thinks I'm Eli's big sister and honestly that hurts my feelings.
