Thirteen Thirteen years ago today, at Winston Place, in Valley Head, Alabama, we got married. It was scorching hot. Pink and white flower petals covered the ground. And there was periwinkle at every turn. Only after we were exchanging our vows did it occur to us that there was no mic system and therefore no […]
My Choice To Unstructure My Kids Summer
We are in the throes of summer break now. We are settled into our much lazier routine, of which I am a huge fan. I hear moms who have it way more together than me, talking about giving their kids summer school lessons and chore lists. I wish I could say that I am like […]
My Summer: Parenting Kids Who Are Halfway To Adults
Sorry I haven’t been sharing much lately. The end of the school year is always a crazy-busy time. In the last two weeks of school, I had two class field trips, Muffins With Mom (a thing where you have muffins at the school because muffins at home would just be too simple), Field Day (which […]
Mamahood: You Might Be Doing It Right
Mother is a title that I wear with honor and pride. Raising humans is kind of a big deal. I want to be their rock. There are so many things that I have learned along the way, that I want to instill in my kids. But basically I just throw everything that I have at […]
I Am Being Stalked By A Neighborhood Cat
Let me preface this by saying, cats are perfectly lovable creatures. I want nothing but the best for them. I know that you love your cat. Or cats. I am sure that you are snuggling one right now, as you read this post. Maybe the problem is that I have never had a cat. I […]
A Family Photo Session To Remember
Being a parent means wondering all the time if you are doing anything right. It just goes with the territory. The problem is, it takes years to actually get the results. And by the time they are grown, if they are awful, then you have the rest of your life to beat yourself up. But […]
My Daughter Had Her First Team Tryout
When I was in school I was a good student. Getting into trouble was never my thing. I always made good grades, without being prompted. I was even a member of a few clubs here an there. Where I did fall short though was in extracurricular activities. It never occurred to me to do anything […]
12 Reason Amazon Echo Is My Current Everything
I love Amazon. A little too much some could argue. The site just makes my life easier. Anything that I need or want is right there at my fingertips. Add to cart, place order and two days later it is on my porch. So it was the natural progression that I should have an Amazon […]
How To Properly Fail A Sleep Study
I had my first ever physical earlier this year. I had all of the routine blood work and tests. Just as I suspected, I was relatively healthy: normal blood count, glucose, thyroid, kidney and liver function. I don’t want to brag but my cholesterol numbers were HDL 94, LDL 75 and Triglycerides 140. Oops. I […]
To Anyone Who Ever Tried To Be My Friend, I Am Sorry
It is a rainy dreary day here in Tennessee. And for some reason I am freezing. After I dropped the kids off at school this morning I joked with my husband that I was going back to bed. Something I would never do. Too much to be done for that. He thought about it for […]
