Welcome to my first EVER 31 Days series – writing about ONE topic for 31 days straight! Hold on to your hats!
And that topic is… All Things Woman!
So I’m curious – did the phrase “all things woman” make you smile or cringe?
Connecting with you on this topic makes me giddy!
As a mom of two boys, I am THRILLED to be discussing womanly subjects for a whole month!
But for some women, being a woman is NOT something to celebrate.
They’ve been hurt by other women, judged by other women, compared to other women and not “measured up” to those other women.
“All things woman” makes those women want to run for the door.
So I just want to clarify – these next 31 days will NOT be about:
*being a “woman who does it all”
*judgement
*condemnation
*living up to someone else’s standards
Up front, I will tell you that I really enjoy being a girl, but I am fully aware it’s not all sunshine and roses. I’ve been though many of the hurts and rejections you have faced as well.
But I know there can be something different here…
So I’ll agree to have some fun with this series, but also be 100% honest, if you agree to have some fun and join the discussion as well!
What WILL this series be about?
A few years ago, at my first year of MOPS, I heard the acronym “SDWSC,” which stands for “She Did What She Could.” NONE of us can do it all, be we just need to do what we can.
Whether it’s around the house or at work, with your friends or your kids, at your church or school or anywhere – this series will be about us doing what we CAN, NOT doing it “all.”
We’re talking fashion for real women {and real budgets}, the joy of connecting with others and the “joy” of hormones, emotions, fear, make-up, hair, women’s health and women’s roles – just about everything {and maybe even s-e-x…gasp!}.
I’m looking forward to 31 Days of All Things Woman with each of you – come back tomorrow and join me for more?!

Totally love being a woman–and this sounds like total fun!
I think your 31 days will do good for this woman. Cheers! 🙂
Looking forward to this!
From one woman to another, this sounds lovely!
Excited to see what you have for us to chew on! 🙂
So excited to follow along, Erin! Praying for you in this journey. 🙂
I’m looking forward to your series. 🙂
I’m very excited about this series, Erin. 🙂 You’re awesome!
Sounds like fun!
I love love it! would you like to share buttons and connect to each other during the process? obviously, I connect to The Nester & all the wonderful bloggers involved but I thought it might be nice for a handful of us to share buttons for topics that work well together- lmk
Can’t wait for more!
Oh how I love seeing pink at “Home With The Boys” 🙂 I know you are going to love writing on this, and I will love following along.
Sounds like a neat idea. I’m a mama to two little boys as well.
As a mama to three teen boys, I can use a little “girly” in my life. Looking forward to your series, Erin!
Looking forward to this!
I am new to the 31 days series too! I love your topic and am really excited to read more. I tend to be one of those moms who tries to do it all and then suffers the guilt of not getting it done, so this really hits home for me!
Thanks for sharing!
I smiled. But, I didn’t always love being a woman. I’m just glad that I do now (well, most days anyways!) I can’t wait for the rest of the series. I’m so glad you are doing it. I love checking in on your “What I Wore Wednesday” posts.
You would LOVE talking to my MIL. She wrote the book Iron Butterflies: Women Transforming Themselves and the World. I think it would fit perfectly in your 31days theme!!
