Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

 
Mama won her boy a new pair of shoes!! Well, not literally, but I did win him a blanket! I know what you're thinking, a blanket is nothing to write home about but you, my friend, are seriously wrong! Little Yellow Chick blankets are absolutely amazing! So soft and they come in the most vibrant colors and fabric patterns. McCoy loves the different textures and bright colors. I'm even adding the adult size throw on my Christmas list! ; )

That's all... I'm being summoned to bed. Maddie needs Mommy to tuck her in, night!

Is the first post always the hardest?

Sure hope so... Because I'm drawing nothing but blanks!

Maybe I'll start out by explaining my chosne title, which was a difficult task, might I add. At first I was trying too hard, searching for something catchy, something the rhymed. My first thought, Snoop Bloggy Blo, thank God it was take! I don't think I could have lived through that one! Anyway, I got to thinking about how so many blogs, Facebook statuses, or tweets are sugar coated. Have you heard the saying, "The happier a girl's Facebook status, the sadder she really is"? Everyone is so caught up in trying to impress their friends or followers with how perfectly amazing their live is, when in reality we all know that nothing is as perfect as they make it out to be, which brought me to my blog name. To me the meaning is simple, everything is not always what it may seem. Now, I'm not perfect, I am guilty of this status fabrication myself, but by choosing this title I am setting a goal, or better yet, making a promise to myself to do my best to stay honest. Not only with myself but with the people who take time to read this. If there is a part of my life that I need to keep private I will simply omit it instead of pretend it is something it is not. With that being said I'm gonna wrap this up! I will do my best to not disappoint... :)
