How does she do it???

We all have those "she's" in our lives. Some she's have the gift of being happy, others are exceptionally kind to their children and wonderful to their husbands all of the time, some are fantastic cooks, others are talented seamstresses, while others are gifted poets, or well-dressed, have great hair days most days, are immaculate housekeepers, all the while raising clean and well-mannered children...you know of whom I speak.

I am blessed to have several "she's." My she's aren't necessarily perfect in each area, but they are well-rounded, good mothers, and kind women. I watch them quietly when I hope they don't notice. I ask lots of questions when I can make it not be to obvious. I practice, practice, practice (by the way, have you ever noticed, practicing can get expensive????) But the biggest thing is, I just try to learn. I feel like a sponge when I am around you...my own private group of she's...just trying to glean all I can from your various wells of knowledge, talent, and resources. Thank you one and all (yes, all) of you for being part of the village to help me be a better me.
