A 2012 Try
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Tuesday, January 03, 2012
Are you a perfectionist?
I am, of the frustrated sort, and it makes the start of a new year difficult. On the one hand, I’m tempted to make exhaustive lists of ways to improve myself this year. On the other hand, I dread the guilt I’d inevitably feel as the resolutions fell, one by one.

Fitness Fans and Mamas Movin'
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Sunday, September 05, 2010
The randomly drawn winner of our Mamas Movin’ With Mary shirt giveaway is Sharon, who shared this fitness goal:
“I want to get the bike I got for Mother’s Day out of the garage and ride it regularly. I want to get back on the elliptical I haven’t touched for months. A friend invited me to start running with a group of friends twice a week; maybe this shirt will help motivate me to get me moving again! As for prayer, I want to make sure I pray the Rosary EVERY day, even if it means getting up a few minutes earlier in the morning, or turning off the radio when I’m in the car. Thanks for the cool contest! 
”
Thanks to the Mamas for sponsoring this giveaway and congrats to Sharon—we hope the shirt helps you reach your goals!
