Why "Truly Tessa"?

Oh hey.  I'm sure if you're here, you already know me.  But I'm Tessa.  Once upon a time, I had a family blog that was basically kid updates.  I was terrible at keeping up with it; it felt like one more thing on my never-ending list of things I had to do.  A few months ago, I got the feeling that I should start blogging again, but I didn't want to spend time playing catch-up on my old blog.  I knew I'd give up on that again anyway.  I wanted to start fresh.  I also wanted a blog that was more me.  You know, for posterity's sake.

Will this blog include my kids? Absolutely.  I'm with them almost all the time, so they really are my life.  Plus they're hilarious and adorable, so there's that.  But I also want to include other things.  Like my successes and failures while I try to be healthy.  And my super important views on all of my TV shows I watch while my husband studies.  All. The. Time.  And new recipes I try or old recipes I love.  And my parenting trials and triumphs. And my favorite tips and/or products.  And any attempts to be crafty (which I'm not).  And so on.  This blog really will be Truly Tessa.  And I'm excited.  I hope you'll join me!
