Mommy Gets a Makeover, part 1

September 20, 2012

I come from stylish stock. Yet I have always struggled with my own sense of style. I fondly blame the homestead years.

Celebrating {Small Gifts}

April 9, 2012

It was a year ago now that I read One Thousand Gifts. My gift list is woefully neglected (a mere 317 so far) but the lesson of choosing to see and be grateful for even the smallest of blessings has stuck with me. Ann’s honest musings sunk deep into my spirit and allowed me to…

 I found the hat at the salvation army two weeks ago. I was so excited, but restrained myself from jumping up and down in public.  It didn’t occur to me until Saturday night that I should wear it for Easter Sunday (it wouldn’t be the first time I used Easter Sunday as an excuse to…

I have learned in whatsoever state I am…

March 28, 2011

…to buy maternity clothes. (This is not an announcement – I am not pregnant!) I’m 5’9″, so pants only look right if I get them extra long.
