Hey y'all! I am having the best time sharing my capsule wardrobe with you. Last week I shared my why and how about giving this a try, including my "rules" for what pieces stayed and what didn't. There are still a couple of items I want to find and include so I kept my total item number under 50 so I'd have room for them! I know this isn't what most people do when they have a capsule wardrobe but the point for me was to make my life simpler and not to create a whole new list of do's and don'ts. ... [Read More]
Don’t Just Pick the Right Battles — Focus on the Real Enemy!
Soooo ... remember yesterday when I shared what I had learned about not exasperating our kids and all that? Yeah, well, apparently, I didn't really learn it because this morning was sheer disaster. It was ugly here, y'all. Really ugly. In fact, after my girl left for school {an early meeting of the Christian students club ironically}, I went back to bed. Because sometimes you do the first hour of the day so badly all you want is to go back to sleep and try to start it over. {And I'm pretty sure ... [Read More]
Parenting Is Hard …
and some days I just want to give up
It's been a rough few weeks around here. I'm not saying having a teenager is the hardest thing in the world because obviously there are people who deal with far greater challenges. But, I am going to say it's just really hard. And honestly, some days I just want to give up. I feel so inadequate for this task. There are so many things I'm not ... patient and gentle being at the top of the list lately. I have felt like we are in constant battle and I am so tired. As my friend Stacey would say, ...

For Your Weekend
The big news this week is I got my hair cut and colored. Isn't it amazing how a great cut and color can make you feel so much better. Just like my clothes were adding extra stress in my day, so was my hair. I actually spent some time looking for the best style for my face shape. As this article on YouBeauty says, "While a great hairstyle can lift years off your look and make you feel completely reinvigorated, few realize that it’s your face shape that is truly at play. As the foundation for any ... [Read More]
On Marriage and Love and How Hard It Is Some Days
Some days I happen across something and I sit down to share a link or a quote on Facebook and then I realize I have a lot to say about that ... today is one of those days. I just read this post from the beautiful Kristen Welch at We Are THAT Family — There Is Nothing Quite as Sexy as a Man who Loves His Wife. I copied this small part of her post to share on my Facebook page thinking it might encourage others. It’s so easy in this life to name all the things our husbands don’t do. And most ... [Read More]
Why & How I Created My Fall Capsule Wardrobe
I sort of began explaining this last week ... but wanted to give a little more information about why and how I created my capsule wardrobe for this fall. Two main questions have come up since I posted last week. The first is always "Why??" My friends at church and at ball games have looked at me like I have two heads when I say I've narrowed my closet down to under 50 items to wear for the next three months. Here's the deal: my life is really busy right now. Between football games, family ... [Read More]
