- Fashion Must-Haves This Winter - by Submitted on Jan 14, 2011 from Hannah KeeleyI found myself doing the unthinkable the other day. I got out of the shower, looked at the clothes I had laid out for myself the night before, and then went straight for a sweatsuit. Fortunately, my oldest daughter, Kelsey, came in when I was getting dressed. "No, Mama," she said. "You are ...

The "uncomfortable zone" is where all the success stories are written. The comfort zone feels good; the uncomfortable zone feels like sliding downhill on sandpaper naked. It's rough, raw, and gritty, ...
Views: 1493 - The Coat Button Cure - by Submitted on Oct 28, 2010 from Hannah KeeleyI was once a prisoner of perfection. If I couldn't mop the entire kitchen floor perfectly, I wouldn't do it at all.

Views: 1490(1 vote) - Three Steps to Total Body Confidence - by Submitted on Oct 28, 2010 from Hannah KeeleyI am so sick of the perfect body image. I mean, what's "perfect" anyway? Magazines are photoshopped. Television has flattering lighting. Even that perfect mom you see at the pool probably could list off twenty things she hates about her body. In short, there is no perfect. But you can ...

Views: 1255(1 vote) - The Three Organizing Questions You Have to Ask - by Submitted on Oct 26, 2010 from Hannah KeeleyIt doesn't take a weekend retreat or months of therapy to get organized. And contrary to popular belief, being organized is not a genetic trait that you may or may not have inherited. Anyone and everyone can be organized. But all great organization begins with three big questions. 1. What ...
Views: 1240 - The Five Lies of Motherhood - by Submitted on Oct 26, 2010 from Hannah KeeleyWithin the past fifty years, motherhood has gone from exaltation to embarrassment. Instead of being proud to claim motherhood as a career, we cower in the corner and mumble out a feeble, "I'm JUST a mom!" Just a mom? Give me a break! This entire mentality wasn't even present in our culture until ...
Views: 1271(3 votes) - Do you have PMS? Pathetic Mom Syndrome? - by Submitted on Oct 20, 2010 from Hannah KeeleyThere you are, wearing that same old baggy t-shirt and sweatpants. You didn't have time for a shower (again!) and those flip-flops you put on are revealing some toes that are in dire need of a pedicure. But, you're a mom! You don't have time for frivolous things like pedicures, pretty clothes, ...

There's sports practices and games, clubs, school, and handfuls of other things going on. Although we love it, we can get a little overwhelmed if our homes can't keep up with our lifestyles. This is a great season ...
Views: 729 - Sloppy Success - by Submitted on Oct 20, 2010 from Hannah KeeleyPeople always ask me how I get so much work done. Well, I've given all the typical answers that I thought worked. Things like: "I prioritize and do the most important things." "There are more things that I do NOT do." "I don't get a lot of sleep." "I just use my time very ...

Views: 919 - Three Things You MUST Know About Your Teenager - by Submitted on Oct 20, 2010 from Hannah KeeleyI've heard it said more times than I can count about how trying and difficult raising a teenager can be. Now with three (almost four) teenagers in my home, I can tell you that it is, indeed, difficult. But then again, raising kids as a profession was never an easy thing to do. We're not moms ...
