My Mom is always dressed in skirt and blouse with jacket or sweater, hair done, & make-up. (I am the complete opposite LOL). I'm not sure if that is just their generation? But she says that a woman over 40 should NEVER be seen without make up LOL. I guess I frighten people because I am horrible about makeup-yech!
I like the shoes idea Suki.
I was hoping some other people who are parents would chime in and give some examples of how they take care of their needs and still take care of their children.
