For the WonderWoman in us all…

Posted in Uncategorized on January 31, 2007 by shannalynn

Someone showed me these neat tee’s when I mentioned that my new mantra was “embrace my imperfections”  -  I’m doing alot of embracing…   But how cool are these shirts?  Certainly helped me put things in perspective-  We’ve had a rough week personally and maybe I just needed to read “it is okay” -   

Capture Life 

I’m all for things that remind us that women are incredible people and it’s okay to slow down, relax and enjoy life a little-   Maybe that’s why I love Oprah…..  156 on XM… lol

i love being a girl

the chase pays off!  With toddlers, I feel like I spend most of time running and running and running and then mooing and making other noises to try grab attention for a split second- (yesterday I screamed to to the TOP of my lungs  (it works–  they always look my way, but I think I scared mom and dad a bit- lol)..    anyway I LOVE it when I’m rewarded with images like the one below…  isn’t she precious??  The smilings images aren’t always the best….  I’m thinking she was ready to be left alone……
