WELCOME!

My name is Diane. I wish I could tell you that I am the perfect mother and wife. But I am not. In fact, I created this blog with the hopes that it would help me to become a better everything. I want to find solutions to everyday issues that most parents and women have. I want to share these solutions with you and hope that you will share your advice with me as well. Thank you and welcome.

About Me

My photo
I am a mother of 4 beautiful girls. Each one special in their own way. I have a wonderful husband who makes me laugh everyday. He reminds me how good it is to be able to love someone so deeply and truly. I am a happy person who wants to be able to manage my family and home life without totally losing my mind over an occasional mishap or disappearance of socks. I live for my family but understand that sometimes I need a little me time. I enjoy crafts, holidays, cooking, and wish I was a better housekeeper. But that's part of why I am doing this. To become better!

HAIRY Situation!

I have had the worst hair year ever. I decided to get my hair cut short the day before New Years Eve and quickly realized that maybe I had made a mistake. When that hairstyle grew out I had no choice but to go shorter. I had my hair cut into a bob (shorter in the back and a bit longer in the front). When this grew out my naturally curly hair just hung there. It looked awful, so naturally I had to get it cut again. I asked my stylist to add layers to my already incredibly short cut. It helped but I can't wait for it to grow out so that I can wear my soft, sexy, curls again. My recent awkward hair styles do not help my confidence since I'm already feeling less than beautiful due to weight gain, unflattering hormonal acne, and unpredictable facial skin conditions (some days it's dry and some days it's oily) brought on by my bun in the oven. I should have listened to my husband. He hates it when I go short!
