The modern girl’s dilemma…
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block: My mother taught me to never just roll over and die,
she taught me how to throw a punch,
she taught me how to hold my tears until they were shed for someone worthy,
she taught me to not rely on others for happiness,
she taught me that family’s forever, friends can come and go, and men always come and go.
she taught me to never walk away from a…
Old world mom to her pregnant daughter. I guess their family can’t absorb butter…it just stores it to coat the baby and help him out! (via substandardadvice)

Let this be a warning…
Gracie has been going to bed promptly at 8:00 ever since Elaine put up the pictures of “other daughters they gave away because they stayed up too late.”
You want to know what really turns a good guys head?
No, not a tongue or belly button ring (although some may like it). And certainly not a large, ancient artifact looking tattoo above where you evacuate your bowels.
It’s Confidence.
Confidence is wearing a fit-for-your-body, smart-looking dress with a big smile, that when you show it, the room lights up immediately.
Confidence isn’t looking bored or pre-occupied while twirling you hair, and checking your phone every three minutes.
You can spot confidence a mile away…and disdain from the same distance.
Confidence doesn’t have to be loud or obnoxious.
Confidence can be conveyed by the way you speak, the way you carry yourself, and the way you look in another’s persons eyes as if to say, “I am comfortable in my own skin”.
Confidence has nothing to do with the size of your bank account and everything to do with the wealth you see in yourself.
What I am saying is…you are enough. You don’t have to be anything else. You have it all now. There is really nothing man can add to what God has already perfected - YOU.
Lifetime Memories…for Our Children by Dr. A.D. Witham.
Pause with your child-when others hurry by;
Walk with your child-when others are running;
Talk with your child-when others prefer shouting;
Listen to our child-when others appear preoccupied;
Smile with your child-when others can find only frowns;
Play with your child-when others prefer to be entertained;
Praise your child-when others can find only fault;
Learn from your child-when others have forsaken curiorsity;
Dream with your child-when others have become cynical;
Read with your child-when others prefer television;
Pray with your child-when others have lost faith;
Apologize to your child-when others pretend perfection;
Discipline your child-when others fail to establish limits;
Hug your child-when others fail to sense the power of touch!
There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.
