Heather says: With so much bad in this world, I hate to complain about the things that are stressing me out, but sometimes stress is stress. Even stress from positive events can leave a person fighting the desire to curl up in bed and cry. Most of this probably belongs on my personal site, but …
Heather says: Remember how I harp weekly on the premise that despite our attempts to fool others, we’re not perfect? I am currently in Nashville for the Blissdom Conference and while attending sessions, pretending like I have it all-together, wearing real-live-grown-up clothes and everything. I left my power supply in one of the rooms.* There …
Heather says: It’s time for another Sunday Confessional, this is a near weekly -I don’t always get it posted- event where I open up the floor to commenters. We’re human, this means we screw up. Our lives aren’t like the TV shows we grew up with, no one edits out the bad moments and there …
Heather says: I learned something this week, well several things, but let’s not get too crazy. I attended and spoke at an annual Ladies Night event held by my town. The event was a lot of fun, even though I was quite sick or maybe the activities were more fun thanks to the miracles of …
Heather says: It’s Sunday again and time for this week’s confessional. Life is not as perfect as the glossies -magazines- would lead you to believe. Sure we can crop out the mistakes and messes, but it’s in those unedited moments that we are most human. The Sunday confessional isn’t about celebrating mediocrity or not trying …
Heather says: I have a bad habit of overestimating my ability to accomplish tasks. Right now I’m swimming in a sea of deadlines, both of my own creation and those provided by others. It’s reached a point where I’m nearly paralyzed by how much needs to be done. So, rather than digging in and attacking …
Heather says: First off congratulations to Amybee commenter #41. Check your inbox and your spam filter tomorrow for an info email requesting your contact info. Life isn’t perfect and even those who look like they have it together are probably scared that they’re about to snap. The Sunday confessional is about admitting our imperfections. Many …
Heather says: Life isn’t magazine perfect, expecting perfection (from yourself or others) is a quick road to disappointment. Well there’s that and you become a total pain in the butt to deal with. Me? Truthfully, I’m kind of a pain in the butt, but I’m am working on it. The Sunday Confessional is a chance …
Heather says: One of my main goals here at Home-Ec 101 is to help others realize that no one has it completely together. If from the outside they look as though everything is in order, chances are they have a fear that someone will find out they are hanging on by their fingernails? It’s ok that …
Heather says: Television is a far cry from real life, even reality shows offer warped versions of an experience. Editing can remove context from a comment to make it appear more insulting or rude than intended or mistakes can be hidden with a simple do-over. We all screw up. Sometimes it’s simply a spazzoid moment -I …
