This is a great post by another blogger that totally captures the purpose of my blog. Sometimes I worry I talk about my failures too much. I probably do, but my hope is I can be real and encouraging to others.

It's so easy to paint a beautiful picture of ourselves for the cyber world to see. I mean, how many pictures of myself have I untagged on Facebook?

Embrace your failures, learn from them, and move on.

I'm not a parent yet, but I frequently find myself becoming jealous of the lives of others based on their spiffy blogs or their crafty photography skills. Hopefully this article helps to encourage your heart!
