I used to hate my nose.I used to wish my parents could afford braces for me.I used to think my arms were too hairy.I used to think I needed big boobs.I used to think my ears poked out a little too much.I used to think my pale skin was embarrassing.I used to cry about my…
I mentioned in my post the other day that I had something I wanted to tell you all about. I don’t know why. Maybe because I feel like a lot of you are my friends, maybe because it’s therapeutic to spell it out, maybe because it might help someone else, or MAYBE the con artist…
We’ve all heard it said before, “Oh, you’re supermom.” “Of course, you can do it. You’re supermom.” What the heck does that even mean? Does it mean “perfect mom”? Do we really think anyone is a 100% PERFECT mom?? I’ve decided that “supermom” can mean different things to different people, but it usually encompasses several…
I needed a new picture for Facebook. It’s been two years and about twenty different hairdo’s so it’s beyond update time. I have a little studio in my garage so I pulled out my camera, tripod, and remote and shot away. I don’t love the results- shocking that I would feel that way, I know-…
Normally, I do “Posts from the Past” on Saturdays, but I thought it would be fun to share some of our latest Facebook chatter. I recently asked everyone “what are some common courtesies that too many people seem to ignore?” It was fun to hear everyone’s responses and share some of my own. Maybe some…
My husband and I will be married 13 years this September. We have three adorable kids, ages 7, 5, and 8 months. I enjoy reading, exercising, playing with my kids and spending time with my friends. Although I am far from being a photographer, I love taking pictures of everything my kids and I do…
I don’t know about the rest of you, but one of the hardest things for me about getting married is losing contact with your friends, having no TIME to spend with friends, and having a hard time making new friends. Can you relate?? Life really has it’s way of sucking up your free time and…
I’ll let you in on a little secret. I have been a complete basket-case, lately. I feel completely overwhelmed with everything I have to do. I fantasize about running away for a couple week, do you ever do that? I know you’re all busy too, but it would be therapeutic if you would allow me…
Hello! My name is Kate and I have a blog over at http://www.courtandkate.blogspot.com/ if you wanna check it out. Nothin’ special, just an outlet for my occasional creativity and snarkiness, and a place to record the hilarious things my two little chicks say. Muchas gracias (uh, I don’t really speak Spanish) to Mariel and Jessica…
“Respect your children.” That’s not something you hear every day! But, it’s something I have been thinking a lot about lately. You know the common saying, “treat others the way you want to be treated”? It applies to more than just our friends, our siblings, our parents, our neighbors, and random strangers…it applies to our…
* Family Night is a designated night, once a week, where you sit down with your family…have a lesson, an activity, and a treat. It’s a great way to spend time together as a family and teach your children about the important things they don’t learn in school. * I put together this lesson on…
You know how I like to poke fun at men, i.e. “Sharing a Bathroom with a Man“. Well, in all seriousness…I love men, especially mine. He brings so much happiness to my life. But, isn’t there always something in a marriage that you can improve on? Of course, there is. I have set a personal…
