"I'm feeling sexy & free, like Glitters raining on me". -Jessie J. (Domino)
Before I had my son, Dennon, I decided that I wouldn't lose the part of me that was fun, silly, glittery. I still do fun make up, dance the salsa in my kitchen when I make dinner, and KISS my husband like he's the air I need to live. I want my son to be so sure, so secure in himself that when challenges are thrown his way, he can stand tall through them, dance, sing through them. Be himself no matter what.
The most attractive quality in someone is how confident they are..not that they look perfect or that they exude this sexuality. But when they throw their head back and laugh loud, not caring who sees, when they dance in a Wal-mart aisle just to make you laugh. True confidences in themselves at every moment. One of the things that makes me feel the "sexiest" is when I'm at a party or get together and I can make everyone laugh..it shoots this shot of confidence up to my heart. I've always been called "crazy or loud" and it hurt most of my young adult life, but now I've learned that not everyone can walk into a room and command attention without using their breasts or their foul mouth. The fact that people would choose to surround me, listen to me, for the mere fact that I'm funny or tell a good story.
Well, I like to think that looks good on my resume of confidences. In the long list of things I find wrong with myself, there's one more to balance my thoughts out.One more thing to encourage me in finding acceptance with my body, with my thoughts, with who I am deep inside.
So why mention all of this? Well, I vowed to continue to put a little pretty in my life when I became a wife and now as a mother, I hold the same contract. I want to continue to glitter, to shine in this life and do it in my life with my son, to show him that being yourself is always the best route. I have glitter, that runs deep in my veins and it's okay to continue to let that show, whether it means I take the time to do my makeup and my hair, still buy those sexy heels, dress up for my husband when we go out on a date or simply continue carrying my purse and not stuffing my stuff in D's diaper bag.
How can I be a home maker and still "Put A Little Pretty"? Well, that's what this Blog is going to help me find out. I'm excited to see the thoughts and stories that pour out onto this page as time comes. Whatever happens, I know it will be good and we can all bet, it'll be pretty :) Even, if only to me!
