A Mother's Beauty

Once in a while, we moms need to get away from the hustle and bustle of home life and have some fun. Let's face it, we are beautiful in our own unique way, so we should get out and "let our light shine!" Take some time off away from home from time to time.--It's great fun!

This photo was taken at The Brunswick House, a college pub here in Toronto during a fund-raising event. We had tons of fun that night rocking out with Haven, Salt of Earth, and Plan of Attack!

All three of us are happy mommies. Joy has two little munchkins, Jean has one, and I am quite happy with my five! I think we were all looking cute that night.

Feeling beautiful doesn't always come naturally though...heh. When you have day after day of teaching, planning, cleaning, care-taking, etc. with barely any time left for anything else, it's tempting to feel anything but pretty. Yet, the truth is that we are amazing women! The strength of spirit and contentment that comes with bearing and raising children makes us glow!

If you're starting to feel a little frazzled and don't like what you see in the mirror, take some time to tune in to yourself. Exercise, put on some makeup, treat yourself to a footbath...believe me, it's worth the time and effort. You'll feel rejuvenated and much more ready to face the challenges that come your way every day! ;-)
