While true that she doesn't wear make-up much or spend millions on beauty products - she doesn't need it! Jane, I didn't hear anyone mention how non-frumpy you look in the blog header photos. You think they can tell that tiny, obviously young girl could not have born 3 children and that it must be someone else?

I've done the same thing; yay for you for re-posting. This is what I think; there's frumpy, and then there's practical. It is possible to be gorgeous in flip flops and sweats! Funny girl.

You can do it I know you can. If you want to wear your exercise pants and flip-flos around the house that will be ok, I mean I do wear my sweatpants around the house. Just try not to take it out of the house. Unless your going to the Gym and then I'll give you a pass. Love the pictures at the top of your page, very Non-Frumpy. :) Come on take the first step, reveal the non-frumpy you! You can do it I know you can.

There's something to be said for loving your Frump! I try to keep my post about "offbeat" things - Not about wearing more makeup, but about getting enough sleep... For example. We can wait patiently for the reveal - whenever it will be! LOL! This was a cute post! There’s something to be said for loving your Frump!

I took notice of it! I hope you don't think that I was looking down on those who choose to embrace the frump. I don't! It's just that I choose to FtF and I get tired of other moms who give me dirty looks for breaking some "mom code" that says you should only be grocery shopping at 11:00am on a Tuesday of you are wearing yoga pants and have your hair in a ponytail. As for the "not getting noticed" by the others...it's all in the timing. I think that you have to have your post up and linked by lunch if you want anyone to see it. Especially when Fussy does some of her longer posts and the FtF one scrolls right off the front page within a day! Hey there Chickie! I took notice of it!
