This shirt was on Bailey yesterday and even though I bought it this past August from Old Navy (right after our Canadian trip, specifically), it was the first time she'd actually worn it. She seems to wear those darn Daddy shirts a lot more. But I must say, this particular shirt should be worn more often because sometimes I need a reminder that I rule, since I better be the mom the shirt is referencing (I'm pretty sure I gave birth to her, but it's possible I dreamt it).
And I'm hoping that perhaps I'm not the only mother out there who occasionally needs a reminder of her awesome reign. The mother out there who has discouraging moments or suffers from exhaustion or her own self doubts. Or maybe the mom who gets so busy she forgets about herself (and showering and barely brushes her hair) or that she even has the privilege of indeed being a mom. It's both an honor and a huge responsibility, but mostly an honor.
Now I'm not getting as sappy as it sounds, I'm just being honest here and well, I have no reason to lie to you. At least not that I know of. But as much as Bailey seems to adore me, I have those moments of inadequacy. Or maybe the feeling of being overwhelmed. Or underwhelmed. Or like I haven't done anything. Or that I don't know where to begin. Or where to finish. Or where I even started. Or if I started at all. Can I even do this? I feel lazy at times when I shouldn't or as though I should be doing so much more. Then there are all the other times I'm not sure I can handle one more thing on my to-do list (few of them dealing with Bailey). Or days I long for someone to contact me just to talk and not merely to ask a favor or tell me something I did wrong.
And even though Bailey tells me daily that she loves me (and she really does tell me daily), and that she appreciates me (when I feel that she's the only one who does more often than not), somehow I need my value plastered on a shirt occasionally. I've never met a cuter billboard though. She is the best. And I hear her mom's okay too.

Be sure it's simple for consumers to unsubscribe from your email messages. While it may lose you with a handful of readers, if it's an easy task to unsubscribe you possibly will not get rid of them as buyers. If it's a problem, consumers can get frustrated and stop with your internet site altogether. Not just that, nevertheless they may possibly symbol the email messages as "spam" having your email messages caught up in junk filter systems over the provider.
