Sometimes I think one of the hardest things about being a mom is resisting the siren call of stereotypical mom clothes.
And by stereotypical mom clothes, I mean clothing that doesn't take too much effort, clothing that celebrates comfort over style and function over form, and clothing that, if I am truly honest with myself, I would not have been caught dead wearing prior to giving birth.
I'm not trying to be a smart-ass: it really is hard.
We moms are tired and rushed a lot of the time. Time and money are tight, but our bodies? Not so much (not mine anyway).
And I think that drinking in the silky skin and shiny hair of our children - our beautiful children - goes a long way towards satisfying our inherent need to feel the presence of beauty in our lives.
And that's not necessarily a good thing.
