You know how sometimes you just have one of THOSE weeks? Well, this has been one of THOSE weeks. Four out of five of us sick. Ups and downs galore. Missed school. Feeling like crap, feeling okay. Eating take out and convenience foods. No exercise. I need a REBOOT. Seriously. So, I’m just gonna post…
Just Playin’
I have this very vivid memory of myself while playing in the house where I grew up. The same house my parents still live in actually. I am tromping down the green, shag-carpeted hallway in a dress, on the way to my bedroom at the end of the line. All the way pushing my toy…
Chicago Through my Lens
On the Saturday afternoon of my trip to BlogHer in Chicago, I had to get out and use my camera, much like the first time I was there in 2009. There were many brides out that day, in Millennium Park and the weather was amazing, only 64 degrees. That’s unheard of in summer where I…
I just couldn’t stay away…
I had not planned to go to BlogHer at all this year. All along I was not going but still asked Jen to save me a spot in the hotel room “just in case” because we had so much other stuff going on this summer. But then as people started to show up on Wednesday and…
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
I haven’t written specifically about K in a while. I think sometimes I am still amazed that she is mine. That I have a daughter. A spunky, bossy, girly-girl that doesn’t take “No” for an answer, princess-loving GIRL. On any given day her hair is a tangled mess, she has food on her face and…
Summer Scratching
I am going to admit right here, right now that not setting my phone alarm for 6:45 every morning has been glorious. Summer is awesome for that. Did you know that I am not much of a morning person? Ask Tim, he’ll tell you. With fervor. 😉 He seems to be a morning AND night…
More Scenes from New Orleans!
One of the reasons I was excited for our tip to New Orleans is because it gave me a chance to take more photographs around the city. It really is an amazing place. I’ll let the ton of photos tell the tale… click to enlarge
The Whole Story
Y’all know I love Instagram so much that I would totally marry it, right? Right. But what I find interesting as I look through my pictures is that even though that one moment is captured and put out there for the whole world my 737 followers, only about 20-30 who usually “like” a photo or…
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…
When it rains here, it POURS. And a couple of weeks ago we got a TON of rain in within a day or so and ended up with a little “lake” in our backyard. Of course K thought it was perfect for playing in… … and double “of course”, without her rain boots on her…
It was a REALLY good day
Ten things I loved about Mother’s Day 2013:1. Breakfast in bed. Oh yeah! A cinnamon sugar donut (homemade by the hubby), eggs, bacon and coffee. That’s right girls, be jealous.2. HGTV while eating breakfast in bed. And boys bringing me pressies they made at school, WHILE still in bed.3. Church with my whole family, sitting…
