Motherhood and Pantyhose just don’t seem to go together very well. Some say nylons or pantyhose should always be worn with a dress or skirt, some disagree. My personal feeling is that in the summer, hosiery is a bit silly. In the winter time, however, the reverse seems silly.

I’m addicted to shoes.
I have a problem. And the problem is the shoes. You see? It would have taken two laundry baskets to hold all the shoe love you see here. I stopped at one, it seemed excessive enough.

Which ones do I donate, give…

how to: pluck your eyebrows
There isn’t a grooming tip I can give you more important than this one: pluck. your. eyebrows. Even if you’re not a makeup person, you never leave the house wearing more than Chapstick, and your hair is most comfortable in a pony tail, you must pluck your eyebrows.
