Going through difficult times in our lives make us want curl up in a ball and stay in bed. But that’s not my style for too long. I do it for a bit and then I get up. Because what other choice do I have? Keep going or not, right? I took a little trip…
Feeling Better in my Bathing Suit & Weekend Fun!
I sat by the pool watching a family. They had one little girl, probably about 18 months old and two older boys in their teens. The mother doted on the adorable baby as she splashed about and she must have asked her to say “cheese” a thousand times in one minute as she put her…
Living Up To My Name
As I post a few bits of random-ness, I pretty much feel like this… I am 4-5 episodes behind on the few shows I still watch on television. But apparently really do not watch anymore. I crack myself up. I was thinking about catching up on at least one installment of Revenge so I’ll be quick…
Time together & MEM
I was alone for a couple of hours today and what did I do…? Tim took the boys and a friend to see Madagascar 3 and K was napping at the same time so I had a little time to myself. Time to start one load of laundry and check people’s FB posts and start…
This weekend & MEM
Blink, blink, blink goes the cursor. Throb, throb, throb goes my head. But still, I want to put something out there for you all to see and read because I thrive off of it. I want to tell you how busy the weekend was with two photo shoots(!) and preparation for my son’s first communion…
Southern Livin’ (and kind of a weekend recap)
I was driving down a familiar road in town the other day and thinking how after almost two years here, there are still days that I’m surprised at the fact that we live in southern Louisiana. But as I looked up to the sky and saw the broad oak branches stretching over me I thought…
Blog Friends & Babywearing
I occasionally find myself thinking back on BlogHer and missing my friends that I spent time with and met there. My roommate from the conference was Haley, whom I’d met back in January when she came for a visit back when we were still in Texas. And although she’s like a decade younger than me,…
Life at Full Speed
Life seems to be going at warp speed right now. And as I type this, crazy wonderful things are on the horizon, coming in the near future. But also daunting things. Things that I have never experienced before but knew I probably would someday. Yes, I’m still being somewhat cryptic but I have to be….
Family Time, It’s SO NOT Overrated
Do you ever find you and your spouse looking at each other on a Saturday morning and saying, “So, what are we going to do this weekend?” There are many weekends when we are booked up and end up with very little “free” time but this weekend was an exception. Thank goodness. We had time…
My Weekend, With A Mini Heart Attack In There To Keep Things Interesting.
We had a pretty good weekend. My wonderful husband let me scrapbook ALL day Saturday and since it was just up at my church (3 minutes away) I was able to come home for dinner and then go back. He took care of the boys ALL day while I got some scrappin’ done! Wanna see?…
