Hold on, to me as we go As we roll down this unfamiliar road And although this wave is stringing us along Just know you’re not alone ‘Cause I’m going to make this place your home -Phil Phillips, Home I was carting the boys back from VBS this morning when this song was playing…
Old School Blogging, June
I originally posted the answers to this Old School meme back in July of 2008! Some of them have changed out of preference and some have stayed the same since they are fact. It was still fun to go back and read my almost five-year old answers though. Apparently my love for chocolate has waned…
Guest Post at Kludgy Mom
I don’t talk about s.e.x. very much here on the blog. So maybe that’s why I am talking about it today on someone else’s! Gigi gave me the floor at Kludgy Mom and so I wrote about how my own body image tends to affect “special” time with my hubby. Yeah, I know. Kinda heavy…
Bai-5, Give Me Something Good to Drink!
I am desperately trying to lose a few pounds before my 20 year!!! high school reunion in July and lemme tell you, it is NOT easy this time around. One of the things I KNOW I need to do but cannot seem to actually enact is drinking more water. It is always an after thought for…
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…
Just Keep Swimming
“Where did the big girl come from?” We say it a lot these days. The sun was bright and hot while we were at the pool yesterday. I kept one eye on G and the other on K while Tim and Ben went down the big S-shaped slide. Everyone is braver this year. Ben loves…
Letting Go
The house felt so empty. Her voice was no longer carrying through the hall, I did not hear her on the phone with her friends. I could no longer smell her perfume. I sat at the table in our dining room, the sun shining gloriously through all the windows, but her face was not lit…
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…
Size Matters.
I am talking about family size. Just to clarify that right away… 😉 So yeah, apparently it does. Matter. The size of you family, that is. I was chatting with some friends the other day about this and someone mentioned that three is not really an ideal number of kids because then there is always…
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…
