About Me:

I’m a (recovering) perfectionist, the wife to a man who is always good for a hug, and the mom of two boys. Becoming a mom was the best thing that ever happened to me because this perfectionist got a well needed kick in the butt! Ha! During that defining time (aka “my deep dark hole”), I started a styling business and blog as an outlet, and both proved to be more rewarding than I ever imagined. I didn’t realize how therapeutic it would be and how much growth I would experience through sharing not only style, but my messy life struggles with you all. Thank you for coming along with me and for reading C. Style.

31 Things About Me:
