Too Sweet



I am so inspired, motivated, and driven by my peers. I feel like I am in the pool with a bunch of olympic swimmers and no one has noticed I have on my swim wings. You really should surround yourself with over achievers. You don't even realize it, but they push you.

Tonight I jumped over to my friend Jen's blog. Jen has been a very good friend to me for many years. She is someone I admired, looked up to, learned from and in return she made me a better employee and pushed me professionally. Most importantly, she believed in me. It was puzzling at first, then flattering, then downright motivational.

Now that we are new mommies together she continues to motivate me in new and exciting ways. She has her own photography business, she donates her time to charity, and she is an incredible stay at home mom. She's also one of my favorite bloggers.

Today's blog is exceptionally incredible. It is a tribute to her mom, Beth. I love Jen's mom too. Beth is awesome, and as a result she developed an awesome person. This apple didn't fall far from the tree. Happy Birthday Beth!!

  2. Oh my goodness you are going to make me cry. :)
    You are one of my most favorite people and you have always inspired me and boosted my self-confidence so I could do crazy things like start up my own business. Don't sell yourself short, I think you are an incredible person. So creative, smart, hilariously witty, and you have the biggest heart. And you are an awesome mom which is why you are SB's backup mommy in case of emergency. Love you Weedie! XOXO

  4. I am joining the lovefest to tell you how much I admire you young women, while I may be a bit biased as Jen's Mom, I can't help but marvel at how smart and capable both of you are. Quida, I loved getting to meet you and your family, Wish you girls lived closer to each other. Love Beth
