We can do HARD things!
When it comes to home decor, I struggle with one issue time and time again…expensive taste. If you put 3 things in front of me that all serve the same purpose and look relatively the same, I will almost always pick out the most expensive one without even trying. This trait has […]
Some of the best advice I was ever given was to “ask for what you want in life because people don’t read your mind and just hand it to you.” But, a close second is when my dad yelled at me from the waterski boat to “STAND UP LIKE A LADY!” What?? People now […]
I used to think that “giving it all up” or “going without pampering myself“ for those I loved was a sign of good mothering, good financing, good wife. I scrimped on anything that may have been unnecessary to the family as a whole. My haircuts went from pre-family price of $30.oo to $40.oo to the local […]
I’m totally loving this months theme of summer and body image. There have been some amazing posts written and it’s been so inspirational to read. I don’t have any inspiration story to share with you today, instead, we are making homemade facial scrubs! Yippee! I have been wanting to get a facial done for so […]
I’ve been fat forever. Ok, not exactly, but its kinda how I feel. The earliest I remember “worrying” about my weight was when I was in 4th grade. At a “height, weight and vision” check, I heard what one of the boys weighed, and it was the same as me! I wasn’t obsessive about it then, […]

The photographer positions me briskly and heads […]

This is my Mom. She is 75 years old. I look alot like her. I inherited her smallish, um…top, and her larger, well…bottom. I can’t do anything about either of those without surgery, and I haven’t really cared to anyway. I also have her freckles, her thick hair, her thin fingers, and her small feet. […]
Stephanie Nielson (nieniedialogues.com) is one of my hero’s. I recently read her book, ‘Heaven Is Here’, and was once again reminded of how important life is. For those of you who may not know her story, Stephanie was severely burned in an airplane accident (over 80% of her body) and had to endure immense pain from treatment […]
I absolutely love summertime. Each year I dream of warmer temps and go through withdrawal when summer draws to a close. One thing I don’t love about summer is the clothing. Whether it’s tight tees or the dreaded swimsuit, I just prefer the layers that cooler temperatures allow. I feel more comfortable in more clothing, […]
