Acts of Kindness

Yesterday, I was feeling down on myself.  We were going to Kansas City to have dinner with my in-laws and I couldn't find anything to wear.  It's getting hot here and I don't have really any clothing for the summer.  What I do have is a couple of tank tops and a couple of capris.  This normally isn't an issue except that I need to shave my underarms and my husband took the razor with him on his trip.  I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice since my hair is so super light, but my insecurities got the best of me and I broke down.  After crying about it, I went to Facebook.  I think I went there to find that I'm not the only one that feels like this sometimes.  I found that it's a common theme among moms.  Especially moms with very young children. That made me feel better.  Last night, I came home to find a bag of goodies from a Mommy friend of mine.  It was so sweet of her.  It had a couple of t-shirts, razors, a candle, gummy bears, cute socks,  a nice yummy smelling soap, and play dough.  It was so nice of her.  I really appreciate her kindness and hope to return the favor soon.

Aw, that was super sweet of her. Even women who don't have kids feel this way sometimes. I think it just comes with the territory of having girl parts.

That is true Meagan. Usually I try to be upbeat and positive but every now and then I break down. Thank you for helping bring me back up.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
