My wonderful friend who has guest posted here before, started a blog of her own recently! I am SO proud of her for plunging in and she’s doing an amazing job. She writes like she talks and is refreshingly witty and fun. I refer to her here as Madame Curve because she has the most [...]

I still love you ALL. I really do. I miss my little bundle of faithful readers and I hope that I haven’t completely lost you all in the course of the last month. Following my post about my grandmother’s bout with Alzheimer’s Disease, I got news that my dad’s dad was not doing so well. [...]

Remembering the Christ child, laying in a manger, sent to free us from bondage. Being together with family. Reconciling differences with family and friends. Spending time remembering years past with loved ones. Giving and receiving graciously. Good food, warm drinks, cozy pajamas. Whatever it means to you, I’m sure one thing that we all share [...]

Used with Permission You know those dogs that always have goop in the corner of their eyes? If I were a dog, I’d be one of those. I CONSTANTLY have mascara boogers in the corners of my eyes. It’s extremely embarrassing and my hubby calls me out on it all the time. I guess I [...]

Here I go again. I’ll be whining this time so if you are not in the mood, don’t read. But maybe bookmark me for when you ARE in the mood. I know lots of military mamas and I feel for them. Their hubbies are away for months on end and they have to run households [...]

I’m watching NCAA football today and looking at all of these athletic boys out on the fields, making or breaking plays. Their mamas are in the stands cheering them on and I wonder if they were raised to be these strong football players. Did their daddies take them outside and throw footballs to them from [...]
My friend Sarah of Moose Tracks & Tater Stacks fame, participates in a Fill in the Blank Friday which is run by Lauren of The Little Things We Do. Check it out and link up! So here is my first Fill in the Blank Friday: 1. One of life’s most simple pleasures is having a quiet [...]

I used to have beautiful, flowing, blonde locks that were “boob length” You know…my hair was long enough to just cover my nips . I kept it that long for a while and always used my boobs as a gauge as to how long my hair was. “OH, it’s grown past the bottom part of [...]
I was put on “Pelvic Rest” for this pregnancy about 6 weeks ago. For those of you who don’t know what pelvic rest means, it means no fun after dark. No playing “hide the salami”, no dancing the horizontal mambo, no mid-afternoon “naps”, no more practicing for more babies (so what I’m already pregnant?), you [...]
