As my kids get older, I struggle sometimes to still see them as children. My daughter is my height, she’s wicked funny, and I think I forget sometimes that she’s not my friend. Don’t get me wrong…she is. But she’s my daughter first. He’s my son first. They are friends second. They will be more my friend as time goes by, but now, they are more my children. And I have to protect them. Sometimes from me.

Brides often have a hard time choosing wedding invitations. Should they select calligraphy or embossing? How thick does the paper really need to be and is 90 pound card stock worth the expense?

Another year has gone by. Another year is starting. Our children are another year older. (As are we, but we won’t go there today.)

There’s something about January that always makes me want to wipe the slate clean. I want to clean out my closets – physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually. I want to take stock.

Here’s what I’m hoping for this summer…longer stretches with my kids. Really. And that statement surprises me, I have to say. I’ve made it known that I’m not “one of those kinds of moms.” I love my kids. Like super completely love them. And I capital L love the kids of my friends. But, well, let’s just say I won’t be opening up a daycare anytime soon.

We are often asked how the psychological six steps we describe in our book, “Face It: What Women Really Feel as Their Looks Change,” translate into practical ways to feel and look more attractive. So, we put together some tips that once were useful to us in our former careers as models. They are even more useful more so now as our own looks are changing! They were designed in conjunction with the internal changes suggested in Face It and work best if you have learned what it really means to be attractive at any age. The ‘beauty’ of these tips is that unlike quick-fix ones that instruct women how ‘not to look old,’ these can be applied throughout life and are for all women.
