There are lots of shiny blogs out there, you know? Like blogs where the outfits are tasteful and the decor is impeccable and the definition of problem is that someone put the wrong flavoring into the birthday cupcakes….tee hee!

NOT HERE, FRIENDS!!!! This is a world where outfits are grabbed out of the dryer and there is no decor unless it’s Halloween-themed and if there’s a problem with the cupcakes – I didn’t bake them, take it up with Publix already.

I’m your friendly blog hostess D’Arcy and this is the unpolished world of a recovering perfectionist turned working mom. Featuring job loss! Money worries! Existential doubts and midlife crises barely avoided! Did I mention I have manic depression? Yeah, there’s that too.

I also have an amazing kid. I have a network of sunshine in my family and friends. I have a sweet little neighborhood and weird hobbies that make me happy. And sometimes, I have guinea pig fashion shows.

Welcome, welcome to my latest guinea pig fashion show. Aka, my blog. Where I proudly serve up working-mom reality with a heavy dose of hilarity on the side.
