Sounds like you already do these things...gosh, I posted this knowing I have to WORK on them. I like to be in comfy clothes all day but I ALSO like to look good for my man ;) Spending time at night with Andy is a MUST for our marriage...Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113306738657127191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231967739039567701.post-4206211886198836502012-01-18T17:11:27.851-05:002012-01-18T17:11:27.851-05:00Great post!

I bought some the other day and I can't even describe how good it feels to reach into my coat pocket to grab some and put it on. Sounds dumb but it's true. It's the little things! ;)shannon chappellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231967739039567701.post-86936032808221071282012-01-18T14:29:23.294-05:002012-01-18T14:29:23.294-05:00I completely agree!!!

LOL! <br />I have traded A LOT of myself for the role of "mommy." BUT nevertheless, there are certain parts of me that I grip tightly to & will not let go of...I used to think this was selfish of me but have realized that it's necessary for me to BE ME & know/feel like someone other than MOMMY ALLLLLL the time. I love that you sport your lipstick, Breena! I do the same thing...along with my mascara. Without those two beauty staples I look like I'm dead...seriously. And I also keep my purse separate from our diaper bag...and if I catch my boys snooping in it, it's not pretty - Hands off, Buster! Lately Andy & I have been going to bed at the same time every night. I used to hate this & fight it. I'm a night owl...but since I've given in, it's been awesome! We talk, we do devotions, we laugh, we....uhhhh sleep...WE, Andy & Julie, not MOM & DAD, spend time together.<br />I'm so thankful for this post! God has put so many treasures & gifts in us as women that reflect HIM & his Glory. Being a mom might be one of those gifts but like you, I think it's important to remember that I'm not defined by "mom" but rather that I'm a child of God :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568828341139206262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231967739039567701.post-67430298337642139852012-01-18T12:55:56.569-05:002012-01-18T12:55:56.569-05:00Amen!!!

Whether its a little makeup, a fun scarf, an extra long shower, drive-thru coffee, or my fave indie band, its important to have some of that sprinkled throughout the week. It's healthy for me and everyone around me! Oh, and Phil and I have to really TALK a few times a week, hopefully each night. We laugh and watch shows together and it reminds us why we like each other :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433812049125356830noreply@blogger.com
