Little Miss Modest Maven and her Locks of Love donation







My 8 year old daughter has been so anxious for the day to cut her hair and donate to Locks of Love.
Today was the day!
She had 12 inches cut off and an asymetrical style after to boot..
Like mom like daughter.

Fashonista Tomboy




I may talk about shoes and clothing alot, but another thing I love is sports! My favorite team always changes to which teams my kids are on. I love fashion and to dress up , but also I love to dress down and be that mom who isn't afraid to throw the football or baseball and even shoot hoops. I am a tomboy and will always be one.


A Tomboy that loves makeup, hair product, dresses and heels..


But Will NOt Wear Mom Jeans!! You may notice the Downeast Basics tee staple, my 3 Girls Running Jeans and my Tevas. As always Boise State Orange Sweatshirt (chilly that morning) on backwards.


Such and Oxymoron I am.





(In case you are wondering the oldest son to my left is 13 and the one to my right is 12. As a reference point I am 5'10". One day you too will face the fact that your kids will be bigger, taller and stronger than you.. I have faced it, but haven't embraced it yet...)

12 years ago.. Sigh....However those jeans do scare me.. LOL

What Body Part Do You Try to Hide?




Every woman has one feature or body part they really don't like..


Admit it, all the women you know whether they say it or not tries to hide or playup at one time or another a body part.


Is this a crime? No.


Do we have body issues? Yes.


Why is that?


Are we told to try to be perfect and the body is included?


Do we look at all those stick figures in the mags and say that is what we are all to look like? Where do our "issues" come from?




I have a laundry list of things I don't like, but the further I think about it I can cross them off my list..




1. Hips ( this should be off the list completely, I have had 5 children within 8 years no less)


2. Chest (always has been an issue, now with 2 unknown masses on my right one, the thought process has changed) I have another ultrasound this month.


3. Crooked Nose ( I earned this one back in high school. I got my nose splintered in Varsity Basketball and they pieced what they could back together)


4. Bad eyes since elementary school (not too many make it out of this life with perfect eyes, and nowadays glasses can be a statement)


5. Upper Arms ( Gotten bigger over the years, this is one I have yet to come to terms with)




There is my top five.


Four I have come to terms with and figure they make me unique.


Most of these issues I really can't change, like the bone structure of my hips.


Yes my husband thinks I am ridiculous. He wants to know why women are so hard on themselves.


Anyone with answers please step forward and share their wisdom with us.


However if we all looked like Barbie and Ken, boy things would be messed up.


Thanks heavens we are not alike.


Even my sisters and I look very different from each other.




How mundane life would be if we were all the same.
