Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. Thus I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight as if I were shadowboxing. No, I drive my body and train it, for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. - 1 Cor 9:24-27

Skirts or Pants?

For some time now, I've been contemplating how I dress and how my four daughters dress.  Currently, I am wearing a jean skirt but that is more unusual than the norm.  I'm mostly a jean (pants) type of gal, but situations over the past six years have made me re-think what I wear.

One thing that I find funny though is that 90% of my running wardrobe is skirts, either from Skirt Sports or Running Skirts.

The following video was posted on The Modest Mom and has me back to thinking...

The Tale of a Braid

Lots of Hair does not sit still while her hair is brushed.  She detests having anyone brush her hair or touch her hair.  Today, after her bath, I was able to brush her hair quickly and I noticed that she was still sitting still ... though I admit she was watching Go, Diego, Go.  Earlier in the week, I had braided the older girls' hair so I thought that I would attempt it.  Lots of Hair actually let me finish!

Happy Birthday, monkey

Happy Birthday to my little monkey!


On birthday day, she wanted to wear her SpiderMan pj's that were passed down from big brother.

I asked if she wanted a cake for her birthday ... no, cupcakes.  This kid likes making things easily for me.  God love her!

Lots of Hair was taking a nap
