What I Wore and More
Hey y'all! I've gotta be honest ... I still haven't mastered taking a good selfie. And I'm always the last one to get ready at my house so selfies are my only option. But, I'll figure it out one day. {maybe} Anyway, I'm still working with my fall capsule wardrobe. And, for the most part, I'm still loving it.

But here I sit, two and a half weeks into September, thinking, "Oh my word! I'm tired already." My body and soul need space and quiet and rest. ... [Read More]
Words that Matter
I've realized lately so little of what I say really matters. Let's face it, "Did you clean your room?" and "My car needs gas {again}" are not the stuff of eternity. The life of a mom is often full of mundane repetitions of the same phrases and questions. It's easy to get caught up in the frenzy of what needs to be done. Laundry piles and dirty dishes and meals to cook and places to be leave us barking commands and urging small feet to move faster. It happens to all of us. Some days ... [Read More]
