We all know our own flaws, and recognize them in our children, if we have any self-perception. I was struck by this paragraph in Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesiaby Elizabeth Gilbert, I’m never going to be a wallflower, but that doesn’t mean I can’t take a serious […]
I’m sorry. I just can not feel like Tracee Sioux with plain brown hair. It’s the single brown tone that’s making me feel un-me when I look in the mirror. Drab. Dull. Boring. Not on you. Just on me. None of those words describe me. I’m fun, happy and exciting. My hair should reflect that. […]
Earlier in the month I got an email from DJ Nelson saying that my article My Face/Her Face had changed the way she thought about cosmetic surgery. This is such a compliment. In fact, the article, she said, made her not want to shave a little bit off the top of her nose after all. […]
I hope your Christmas was as merry as ours: Ainsley performed in her annual Christmas Pageant. This year they took the show on the road and sang and danced and played instruments at a nursing home. This is her first dance solo. We baked cookies for Santa. I don’t know where she gets that attitude. […]
Dreaming is a skill we must teach our children, especially our girls. Would Hillary Clinton be running for President if she only believed in the Possible? Would Oprah be Oprah if she didn’t didn’t believe in the impossible? Would Nancy Pelosi be Speaker of the House if she only focused on what was easily attainable? […]
When I first got married my in-laws came to visit us in New York. By the end of the trip I had to ask my mother-in-law, Peggy, to please hand the religious tracts to the waitress with the tip so we could still get refills. I’m all for religious conviction, but some things are just […]
When I was a little kid my parents moved a lot. It was the 70s and 80s. When we moved to a new neighborhood I would go out and knock on doors asking, Do you have anyone my age that I could be friends with? Can you imagine letting your little kid go door to […]
Sundays are for bonding and resting. Oh, and a spa manicure-pedicure in front of the tube. Learn to groom, but be frugal about it. That’s the lesson here. Ainsley bites her nails and lets her cuticles grow out to the point where a manicure is a big painful task. Turning it into a fun spa […]
Who doesn’t love A Christmas Story? It’s my favorite Christmas classic. So, about those Barbies Ainsley keeps praying, wishing and asking Santa for. . . Ralphie needed that Red Rider BB Gun just as Ainsley needs some Barbie dolls. I have overlooked the fact that Mattel makes the Mattel High School Musical Gabriella & Troy […]
by Tracee Sioux I’ve been afraid that if I tell you about our good fortune it will vanish. That, I just could not bear. But, maybe it’s real. Maybe God is going to let us keep this dream we’ve worked so hard for. Please God, let us keep this. We just moved, this week, into […]
Tamara won the Discovery Girls books by placing a comment about her Penguin underwear showing through her play costume. Then the whole school called her Chilly Willy. She deserves those books. But, I haven’t heard from her. If you are she, please leave a comment here and email me directly. If you know her, please […]
by Tracee Sioux This is the view I was missing by going to the gym every day. Isn’t it fantastic? Honestly, my life to 33-years-old was not about health. One day I looked at my little family and realized every one of us had a medium-sized weight problem. Well, it wasn’t exactly one day – […]
