New Level Of Adulthood

You can basically be 100% certain that you have reached a new level of adulthood when you’re looking forward to nap time so you can finish adding contact paper to your children’s wardrobes. I repeat, I am looking forward to my children sleeping so I can line drawers with sticky paper... Contact papering: a new movement, a new hobby, and a big ol’ reminder that I’m like, legit, for real, without a doubt a 33 year old woman.

If you need me, I’ll be over here making parodies to songs like, ‘I’m brining contact paper back’, and ‘I’m too sexy for this wardrobe’, while I line these drawers like a mother...while also maybe sipping on bone broth protein and collagen iced coffees because that whole mid-thirties thing is coming in extra hot today.
