Why Perfectly Imperfect Family?

I was talking with my husband and realized everyone always tries to show the perfect life online. Most of us aren't perfect, struggle, and have times that are hard. I I wanted to show something authentic. Join me as I document our ups and downs, our struggles, and our successes!

    How to Avoid Doing Laundry on the Weekends

    Laundry is one of my least favorite chores, so I created a weekly schedule to keep weekends free for family time.

    Our Family’s Two Completely Different Types of Picky Eaters

    Our family has two types of picky eaters: my son, who struggles with tactile defensiveness and dislikes certain food textures, and my youngest daughter, who refuses to try new foods.

    3 Fun Therapy Activities for Kids With Tactile Defensiveness

    When my son was diagnosed with tactile defensiveness, we tried various occupational therapy activities. His favorites included sensory bins with rice and toys, shaving cream play with toy cars, and water table play. These activities helped him become more comfortable with different textures, and I hope they can help other children with tactile defensiveness as well.

The kids help decorate, making it a memorable tradition. It’s a fun way to celebrate love as a family while avoiding the holiday restaurant rush!

    Discover the Magic of a Girls’ Weekend

    Every year, my mom, sisters, and sister-in-laws escape for a much-needed girls' weekend. We shop, play games, watch movies, and enjoy uninterrupted conversations — no kids, no stress! It’s a time to recharge, laugh, and indulge a little. If you’ve never done a girls’ weekend, I highly recommend it — it’s the perfect way to relax and reconnect!
