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]

That's my girl ... on her first day of high school. She was equal parts excited and terrified as I dropped her off last Thursday.

You Are Not a Failure

Oh there have been some moments when we probably could have killed each other ... ... [Read More]
How I Love This Child!!
Being her mom is one of the greatest joys of my life! This girl is hilarious and kind, generous and talented. And while there are days when the clash of the hormones threatens to overwhelm my sanity, parenting a teenage girl is way more fun than I ever dreamed it would be. There are moments when I realize how very much like her mom she is ... and there are also moments when the only way I know she's mine is I was there when she was born!! Today I'm at Mothers of Daughters spilling all ... [Read More]
