I love watching home movies. In fact, I think my brother, sister, and I have most of our home movies memorized and we often quote our childhood selves in conversation. I’m serious, we quote ourselves ALL THE TIME. One of my favorite clips happens to be from when my sister was first learning to walk […]
I really didn’t think I was going to do this. But, it’s Friday and just for kicks… this is me and Baby C in the midst of the third trimester. We’re both smiling because as of today, we are officially on vacation. The hubs and I are taking our last trip together as a family of two […]

Yesterday we started walking through M’s complex thoughts about self-worth, anxiety, and what to do when we don’t like how we look or feel. Obviously it’s not something that can be answered in a short blog post or with a pat answer. Acknowledging the truth, that we will never live up to the world’s standards […]
Dear Ginger, I was at the conference this weekend and your story really touched me. I have trouble with self-confidence. I always have trouble trying to find who I am. Or I’m never good enough. I play sports, but I’m never the best. There is a girl who called me a “fat seal” this year […]
I’ve received many questions and e-mails over the past few weeks from you, Bloggies. I am touched by your vulnerability and so thankful for your honesty in sharing your hearts and stories. Care to know the most common phrase utilized in your messages? “I don’t like how I feel or look… help me.” As I […]
