Occasionally, I burst into spontaneous dance moves or a rather spectacular rendition of Livin' On a Prayer for no apparent reason, but my most defining characteristic -- the one which most deeply influences my actions, speech, and overarching life outlook -- is that I am a follower of Christ. I love God. He loved me first. I get the better end of this deal, by far.
I'm so glad that you've joined me here at Pink Dryer Lint, where I write about embracing the ordinary moments of motherhood and life. Like the bittersweet day when you dismantle your crib; or the moment when you realize that you're a woman who's trying to do it all; or the afternoon when your child drinks water from the public library's toilet; or the time when you come out of the grocery store, see a minivan in the parking lot with its side door wide open, figure that it belongs to some poor, tired mom with a handful of kids who probably forgot to shut the door or grab her little clutch of mostly-expired coupons, and then stop to realize, Hey, that's my van....
Please feel free to explore the site, hang out with me on Facebook, or subscribe to my posts via email (see the box in the right margin).
Enjoy, and thank you for visiting!

great mom-e-mail today! I resonate for sure with the spontaneous dancing, the van door being left open (typically my neighbors give me a call....."ummm, your van door is open"), and choosing to love my two energetic boys when I have just changed my sheets and they crawl into bed after playing in the sandbox to eat graham crackers. www.jessicafick.com
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by, Jessica. Here's to helpful neighbors who call about open van doors and gritty sheets (although that makes me cringe inside!) All parts of this stage of life!
