That’s a tough word to swallow- self-hatred. I mean, who really thinks that they actually hate themselves. Yet, for most of us, we spend a good portion of our day being unloving to ourselves. You know- telling ourselves what we are not good at, that we are fat, that person doesn’t approve of you, you will never be like him/her, and on and on! It’s such a vicious cycle. And most likely it’s been passed down through generations. (…)

I love the site Real Simple. In fact get emails daily from them and am usually pleased. Today was a great one for me because it’s really where I am in my life- ALWAYS cleaning something!!! But it’s really great. It breaks it down to rooms and the best way to spend your time if you have 15, 30 or 45 minutes. And they even suggest some great cleaning supplies! Here it is!
it has been some wonderful weather! yesterday (and today so far) we have spend a ton of time just playing outside! the boys are loving taking pictures, so I let them have my camera yesterday. Here are some of their great shots! (…)
as parents or just people who know other kids… we can all enjoy this! hope it helps you smile today!
Buy yours here! Stella & Dot just keeps popping up everywhere it seems! Don’t miss out!
Often in the past, Lord, I have come to thee with a heavy heart and burdened life. And thou hast answered my prayers and graciously lifted the burden from me. Yet with strange perversion, I still refuse to leave my burdens with thee. Always I gather them up- those heavy bundles of fears and anxieties- and shoulder them again. -Peter Marshall
there is nothing more pleasant to this mother’s ear than the sound of my kids laughing together. it really stops time for me. when it happens, nothing I am doing matters nor anything someone else is saying. it’s like my ears have a radar for it. i am drawn to it.
as a family, we try to foster their relationships with one another as much as possible. my husband is really great about wrestling with the boys and making them team up against him to be able to take him down. they learn that they need one another to accomplish their goal. and they love it! and when little sister is upset, they are both wonderful to jump in to help her be happy again. it’s really precious. i don’t take it lightly that they can work together. i know that it is something that we have to work on, continually through life.
drum roll, please…. I am announcing to you that I am now a Stella & Dot stylist! Okay, so maybe not drum roll worthy, but it’s a big deal.
I have been wanting to do something like this for a while and now I am! I am so excited about it. I need time out of the house with other girls. I like that there is no pressure- it’s really just fun! And I absolutely love the jewelry!!
Take a look at the site and tell me what you think. I really would love your feedback. And hey- if you would host a show for me in your home or online- even better!! Let’s chat!
