So this may be less of a decorating / DIY post than usual, but the reality is that my real job is "mom."
Once upon a time in my life, I had five kids ages 9 and under. If I had a dollar for every time someone told me I had my "hands full," or " you're busy," or my favorite: "God Bless Ya, I don't know how you do it!" -I'd have college for all 5 kids paid for by now. Honestly, I found this extremely offensive back then, and would have to bite my tongue from spurting out a nasty reply to these folks.

But something happened over the years, and I started to feel empowered by these comments. I embraced the fact that I could handle something that these "average" ladies just could not. Confession: I still feel that way. I do. I don't get offended by the remarks. I am so proud that I have these five gorgeous children (and still fit in my skinny jeans) and have grown to accept and embrace people's insecurities that they project toward others.
