This is our friend J who passed out on Monday night at our friend’s house, in the middle of his dinner.Literally. His mother moved him shortly after this. But only after we I was were done taking pictures… I mean, DUH. This might be a direct quote from someone you all know – “Wait,…
And so, it’s okay
We see A LOT on the internet about the “Mommy Wars” and it just makes my heart sad to know that someone even coined that phrase. I don’t want to fight with any other mommies. I just want to be the best mommy I can be to my kids. And I’m guessing that’s what MOST…
Short & Sweet (both the post and the visit)
My friend Kirsten and her girls were here for about a day and half, passing through during their #insaneroadtrip across this great country of ours. Kirsten and I originally met in April 2010 when I went to TX to meet up with a bunch of my blogging/tweeting/running friends… Anyway, while here we fed her Cajun…
Tunnel Vision
Sometimes your wallet gets “lost or stolen” and you cancel all the cards and freak out about not having a driver’s license and you cry a little a lot. And then the next morning you are cleaning up toys and there you find it, where it is presumed the toddler left it after using it…
Missing Things
You know that old saying that you don’t miss something until it’s gone? Well, my oldest is currently hanging out with his Mother Bear (what the kids call Tim’s Mom) this week and guess what? I miss him. It’s been less than 24 hours since I gave him a hug goodbye. Then he eagerly jumped…
Meeting Bloggers is so Much Fun!
This afternoon I traveled across the swollen Mississippi to meet up with my friend Katy as well as a few new blogging friends in Baton Rouge. We met at a local restaurant and had a great time chatting and getting to know each other better. And I was so happy to see Katy again before…

I have another wonderful giveaway for you all and this one is extra special since it’s a friend of mine from Texas. Ruby and I used to be in the local Moms Club chapter together (unfortunately we both moved!) and she is one of THE nicest and loveliest people I know. Her passion is making gorgeous and…
My First Photo Shoot (well, officially anyway…)
Tim sent me a text a few weeks ago stating that a friend of ours wanted me to take photographs of her in her wedding gown. I believe my text back to him said something like exactly “She’s kidding, right?” She was not. So…. On Saturday the beautiful bride-to-be put on her gorgeous gown and…
aPearantly Sew… It’s a Giveaway!
Part of the reason I really like going to blog conferences is because you never know who you’re going to meet that you didn’t even know existed out here in the “internets”before. It’s inevitable because there are just SO many blogs out there. AND… You might just sit next to a cute and lovely lady…
On Writing……
I used to write a lot in high school. Poems mostly and a few short stories here and there. I always liked writing, even papers about books that we had to read in school. I never won (or even entered I don’t think…) any writing contests but I do remember one poem I wrote that…
