This post was created in partnership with North Carolina Sweet Potatoes; all opinions are our own. A tree fell on our house this week. Thankfully we’re all okay and the house is still standing, though a new roof is in our future. Our house looks a little dilapidated with its crushed roof, and the gaping split of the tree is still dominating the backyard, which is covered in sawdust and scraggly branches. Life is messy. Keep reading for more on messy lives, and this sweet potato brie pizza recipe.

Behind the picture perfect

It’s not a novel thought, but behind every styled sweet potato pizza or perfectly light bright kitchen photo or giggling adorable chubby baby face is a real life being lived: messy, draining and confusing at times. This house drama wasn’t so bad, but combined with some heart-wrenching stuff we’ve been dealing with related to adoption, it makes us feel heavy. It’s one of those seasons where we’re focusing on putting one foot in front of the other. By the same token, we have so much to be thankful for…like insurance (ha!). Our health. Amazing friends and family. The most supportive readers (thank you!). Steady careers. A creative outlet that is endlessly fulfilling. Gratitude is the enemy of hopelessness. (Also, so is binge watching Netflix.)
