The glass doors are closed as I sit, looking at my computer screen. The dog is at my feet. Sleeping. I glance over and see they are watching Sponge Bob or The Lego Movie (again) or a Full House rerun. They take breaks from it to read (usually forced by me) or to practice math…
I’m Sorry I Forgot to Read Your Blog
So, here’s the thing. I cannot always remember to read your blog posts just like you cannot always remember to read mine. I’ve never used a reader. Back in the day my sidebar, where I listed all the blogs I read, used to be my reader. Now Facebook sort of serves as my “reader”, between…
The Old Horse Farm
There’s a place where we go together, in which the land backs up to our neighborhood. On Saturday mornings, without fail (unless it’s “monsoon-ing”) there is a farmer’s market and some food trucks stop by. People come from all over town (and neighboring ones) to buy local produce and handmade products from earrings to…
Old School Blogging – 12 Questions
Whew! Y’all, I almost forgot about Old School Blogging this month! Can you believe that? (yes, so can I). Thankfully it came to me amongst a ton of other random thoughts yesterday morning and my pal Emmy is a real trooper and decided short notice was fine. I have such great friends. Emmy is an…
Did Y’all Know That I am “Frumpy”?

Lately
Sometimes I get so caught up in writing about things that are happening or have happened in my life, I forget that I am also just busy living this life. There is a lot happening and going on around me and with my friends and family and even my on-line life. Each new day brings…
Under Gavin’s Bed
Let me set the scene: Fifteen minutes before we need to leave for church and I have yet to put my makeup on and still need to get one child dressed for church. Ben comes into my room fully dressed, except for shoes. “Mom, I can’t find my brown shoes.” “Did you look under Gavin’s…
Wasted time is so 2014
The puppy dog and I walk down the street, the sun on our faces like a welcomed greeting from an old friend. It is just a few days into this new year. I left my phone sitting on the desk in the kitchen. I think twice – I should have brought it. What if someone…
Old School Blogging, 5 Random Things…
I have seen this going around in the last few weeks so Nicole from Moments That Define Life and I figured we would make this the OSB topic this month. That way, if you have already done it you can link up too! If you have not done it, it is really a good one….
