I Believe: Girl Mom

A love list to being a Girl Mom.  I Believe:

There is no such thing as No Big Deal.  Everything is A BIG DEAL; see a spider, it's A BIG DEAL.  Watching your favorite show (cartoon, in this case), it's A BIG DEAL.  Having a playdate with a friend, A BIG DEAL.  Emotional development at its finest.

In accepting there will be glitter.  Everywhere.

In pink everything.  And occasionally purple.

All little girls are Princesses.  And if you're lucky, you stay one.

Walt Disney got it right.

Raising daughters is my most passionate job.

A hug and a kiss makes everything better.

In fostering a deep sense of self at an early age.  Even if that looks like a strong-willed, stubborn "brat".  The world is only too quick to downplay a girl's assertive qualities when it doesn't conform to days past "meek and subservient views."

Accessorizing is most of the fun.

Playing dress up is an art form.

Singing out loud means being as loud as you can; singing the right words is not mandatory.  Doing the right gestures is extra credit.

A three year old girl is a lot like a 13 year old teenager. Go figure.

I Believe: Faith

Keeping the Reason for the Season foremost, here is my I Believe: Faith edition.  Who can say it better then Hillsong Worship?!

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in one
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

I Believe

I Believe:

Jesus is Lord and Savior.
In learning from my mistakes.
My daughter is a genius.
Organic foods are best.
In Me Time: be it peeing alone in the bathroom. Going to work. Blogging during naptime. A solo trip to Target. A Girls Night Out once in a blue moon. (you get the idea!)
Chocolate works wonders.
In jeans and sneakers.
In soul mates. (namely, my husband)
In saying sorry and writing thank you notes.
In a good cry. But only occassionally.
A made-up bed instantly 'cleans' the room.
In making lists!
Cutting bangs is an instant make over.
In getting lost in a good book.
In Happily Ever After.
