Hey ladies! I’m Teresa and I’m excited to have the opportunity to share a little of my wisdom with you from time to time. Over the last several years I have found that I really enjoy anything that has to do with self improvement. I’m a big fan of enjoying life to its fullest and…

Remember when you were young and life could never go fast enough? I remember longing for the day that my feet would touch the ground when I sat on the couch. I couldn’t wait for the day that neighbors would think I was old enough to babysit. Oh, if I could only be old enough…
This past week, I’ve been preparing for a talk I have to give at church tomorrow, Father’s Day. My father and the father of my children/husband are both very important to me, so I’ve been trying to sort this talk out in a way that does them justice…without being a bawl-baby the whole time. While…
Today you can find me over at Make and Takes where I’m sharing thoughts on prioritizing my life, and focusing on what is really important to me. It’s perfect timing too, because coming up, these next couple weeks, you’re in for a treat. Next week is ‘Favorite Things’ week (where you’ll get great gift ideas…
Hi there! I’m Veronica, from Nine A Plenty, and I’m the really happy mom of nine amazing kids. (I usually take the pictures, so this photo of me with one of them will have to do!) We have a busy, crazy life, but it’s the best one around. I’m not the most clever mom, but…
I believe that part of my responsibility, as a parent, is to teach my children about happiness. The other day, I was shopping and saw this sign on the wall that said, “Happiness Is Not A Destination, It’s A Way Of Life.” Yes, YES! That is so true. I want my kids to understand that…

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-…
