Our husband. We honor him with our words. Our support. Our submission.
But how often we forget to honor him with our appearance. Especially when we become Mommies. You know, like on one of those stay-in-our-pjs-don't-look-in-the-mirror-days. The days after a night we were awake more than we were asleep. They happen. Sometimes a lot.
A friend has been such an inspiration to me in this area of my life and it's just too good not to share. {She should clearly be the one writing this ~ you know who you are. Go start a blog now. :) }
Why is it so easy to dress our kids "to the hilt" so we have little angels to look at all day, and then avoid the mirror ourselves? Maybe this isn't something most people do. Maybe it's just a few of us. But whatever the case, our husbands definitely deserve to the effort it takes for us to make ourselves beautiful for them.
So this is a challenge, and encouragement, a suggestion, whatever you want to call it to start focusing on you a little more. Because, you know, I think we Mommies can actually become selfish. We want our little ones to look nice for us. We don't care as much how we look for the love of our life. And he deserves the little extra effort it might take to show him we still care about what he thinks.
So, next time your shopping and you see that adorable little outfit or pair of shoes that your little munchkin really doesn't need but you'll buy anyway, put it down. Go to the women's section. Buy a new shirt, a new accessory, some make-up, or whatever will make you feel beautiful. Go home and put it on, pretty yourself up for your munchkin's Daddy.
Make him feel special.
And then chances are, he'll make you feel special.
Honor your little one's Daddy with your physical beauty as well as with your inner beauty.
Every day.
It's so worth it. <3
