Grace, B Man, Catherine, Daniel, Little G If someone had told me 20 years ago that my brother Larry and I would have kids close in age that would play together like crazy and enjoy each others company immensely while eating all the forbidden foods that Grandma serves up and make a cute set on…
Let’s Get Real
My life as a mother is not perfect. Quite far from it actually. As I type this my toddler is having a full on meltdown and at this point, is headed to bed over an hour early. Along with his older brother. I don’t claim to be the perfect parent and I don’t ever think…
On Family Resemblence
When I was younger I used to think I looked exactly like my father. I had lighter hair and skin like him and my relatives on his side of the family. I would look at the two of my three brothers who also showed many of the same features and find it odd that my…
Such a Sweet Shower
I have wonderful friends. They are sweet, loving, thoughtful, talented ladies. I thank God for them. And after seeing them this weekend, back at ‘home,” I miss them. But even though I had to leave once again, it was proven to me that no matter what, they will be in my life, especially for the…
WW – Four No More
It won’t be too much longer and we won’t be a family of four anymore. All I really wanna know… Who is going to ride with a stranger on the roller coasters in a few years? I know, probably me. Just teasing. But it is kinda of crazy to think that there will be FIVE…
Monday Mumblings
My parents’ visit was good. For the most part we took it pretty easy. On Thursday The B Man had a swim lesson and we all swam together after. He’s doing really well and I’m so proud of his new underwater abilities. And even Little G LOVES to swim and is so cute in his…
It’s My Love’s Birthday
Thirty-five years ago today a special baby entered the world. Twenty-one years later (plus some months) we met. Four years later we were married and now, almost ten years later, we’ve built a life together that I thank God for everyday. He’s a pretty simple, hard working man and all he asked for for his…
Weekly Winners – July 12
July 5th – July 11th We drove down to a little town called Bayou Vista on Thursday and the boys had some fun at a spray park there. We had to cross the bridge to get to another town, Morgan City, where we ate lunch at a diner with some really tasty rolls. And the…
Bloom Where You Are Planted
When I was in my late teens/early twenties I LOVED the illustrations and sentiments of Mary Engelbreit’s work. I used to buy her yearly desk calendars and then cut out the pictures and make cards out of them. I guess that was sort of the beginning of my scrapbooking/card making days. One of the illustrations…
Out With the Old, In With the New
I got my hair CUT and colored today. I’m pregnant. We are moving. My old house is empty. The contents of my new house sit in a trailer somewhere in Louisiana. My ankles are SWOL-LEN! BIG change is upon us. A new house. A new baby GIRL. A new group of friends. A new church….
