Has someone ever said to you that you have to love yourself before you can love someone else; or even before you can accept someone else’s love? I have heard that many times before, but never really understood how one was to do that. It’s not like you hear someone say that to you, and then suddenly you just love yourself.… Read More Loving ME
When I went back to work after having my second daughter recently, I thought that I could jump back in where I left off without consequence. I mean, I have done this job for years and years and of course nothing has changed. But everything had changed. I had a second baby 6 years apart… Read More Be Kind to Yourself
I love when fellow bloggers give us a glimpse into their lives so I thought I’d share a little about me. Since I love lists, get to know me in list form! We’ve established that I love lists. I love lists so much that each year I set a reading goal for the year and… Read More Who I Am

And when you’re spoiled that makes reality that much harder. So this morning, I grumbled as I dug out my boots and gloves, grabbed a shovel and… Read More The More Things Stay the Same

I have this one pair of earrings that has become special. Whereas countless other… Read More Unadorned

Yes, of course I understand… Read More You’re Not A Bad Girl
On Sunday, I took my daughter to get her first real haircut. And by real, I mean I paid someone who was not related to her to cut her bangs. It was just too hot to deal with her squirming around, with me trying not to blind her with the scissors. So we made the… Read More Silly Faces
