It seems the housework never ends.

My floor is sticky.

I can't bend over anymore to pick up all the toys scattered everywhere.

I have tons of translating work to do, and a worship list to arrange by Friday.

Hi, my name is Portia and I am a recovering good girl. I think as the oldest of three children I came to my good girl tendencies naturally. At school I studied hard, tried really hard, got good grades and helped my teachers after school. I was such a good girl that during the planning of my high school’s (unsanctioned) senior skip day I was asked to collect my classmate’s money…

The increasingly harmful sexualized images of young girls can be seen throughout media advertising. Sexualized merchandise is offered to an increasingly younger crop of potential consumers and the consequences of this cannot be ignored. The sexualization of young girls is a social issue that…

This is the finished product of a project I've been working on for the past couple weeks! Little Madison Johnson was ALL smiles and looked sooo beautiful at her tea party themed birthday party!! {More pictures to come} I made her shirt, which said 'little queen' and her chocolate brown and fuschia tutu and all the other matching accessories she's wearing. Sooo much fun!…

I have two little girls and I am dreading (I should say, embracing) the moment when they reach that time in their lives when they leave the innocence of childhood to enter the ever changing  (I’m talking hormones) woes of womanhood.

Ah, puberty. I remember the not-so-pleasant experience of getting my first period at school. I think that I remember wearing white…

The other morning, I awoke to a cold, rainy day. I got the kids off to school and made the long commute to my office via the staircase. I sat at my desk, my coffee in my hands and my feet propped up, listening to the rain. It was a few minutes before 7:00a and it was still dark outside. I knew any motivation I might have to get dressed and go to the gym was slowly fading away. I needed to do something to cheer me up a little, and to keep me from commuting back to my bedroom and crawling…
