Coffee Mug Genius

Our blog title was inspired by a quote on a coffee mug I received several years ago--"Live imperfectly with great delight." The other side says, "Life is tough. I recommend getting a manicure and a really cute helmet." While that might be good advice, it was the first phrase that stuck with me.

Life isn't perfect. Real life--marriage, parenthood, friendships--is messy. It's hard. It's saying "I'm sorry" and "I love you" and "It's your turn to change the poopy diaper." It's laughing when you want to scream and sticking it out when you want to leave. It's beautiful despite its imperfections.

The Family "M" has been through a lot of changes since its inauguration three years ago, and we will only continue to change and grow. Living life one day at a time helps keep things in perspective. There's joy in the journey.

Since I shut down my previous public blog (that I started as a college student), I'd been itching to start a new project to reflect my new stage of life. Today, I bit the bullet. Welcome to the family.
