Hide AdStefanie said: “I’m a big believer that you don’t have to have it all together and that socks don't have to match, to be doing a good job.


"You can build a beautiful life even when your brain is jumping from one side quest to another. Most of all, I believe that kindness, to yourself and to others, is the real magic. A bit of humour, a lot of heart, and a stubborn hope can get you through almost anything.”
