My mother-in-law stood in the middle of our carpeted living room with the sun from the skylight on her face, across from the man I had met only an hour ago, with his clipboard. I had just come back from my bedroom, after peeing for probably the third time that hour. She had a really concerned…
Taco Night
The ground meat sizzles in the hot pan and soon it will be many small crumbles, ready for my homemade taco seasoning. I use my handy-dandy Pampered Chef tool to make it that way. It’s really the only thing I have ever bought from PC that I use. Once again I have deemed it “Taco…
Mosquitoes Be Gone! {Giveaway}
We live in the swamp. Okay, not the ACTUAL swamp, but you know what I mean. Although it was pretty dry here for the month of July and first part of August this year, typically that is not the case. Usually rain is abundant and plentiful most of the year. And the months of May…
I Don’t Know.
I sat in my new reading spot in the corner of our living room looking at my phone. I checked Facebook and noted a status from an acquaintance who I am “friends” with. She made mention of 10 cop cars at The Grand 16 and asked if anyone knew what was going on. Someone commented,…
Home Makeover Edition
The house we live in and me, well…. we have a love/hate relationship. I love the size of the closets and all the rooms actually. I hate the lack of curb appeal. I love the kitchen, and it’s bright windows over the sink but I hate the fact that a “real”-sized fridge does not fit…
Easter Ease
We had a pretty chill Easter this year. I did spend quite a bit of time at church. But that is a good thing. A lot of times we go to Texas but the timing wasn’t right this year so we stayed home and had our own, calm weekend and a delicious meal that we all enjoyed,…
Samsung Home #BlogHer14
I think my kids open the refrigerator door about 502 times a day. And the dishwasher in my house is probably my most used appliance. And no, I don’t mean one of the kids or the husband. I mean my ACTUAL dishwasher. We are close friends. (although I am gently encouraging forcing the kids to help…
What I Hear
Their footsteps as they “tap tap” down the hallway until they reach my side of the bed and say, “Mommy?” The little pads and toes of their feet that I helped create bring them to me. The sizzle of the bacon as it crisps up on the griddle while the sun streams in the kitchen…
Easter Ease
Have you ever wished you could just beam yourself somewhere? Seriously, how cool would it be if we could really do that thing they used to do on Star Trek? (I mean, not really a fan of the show except for that part… I was more of a Three’s Company kind of gal. Still am…
Super Easy Valentine Art
I have a little bit of left-over scrapbooking paper. And when I say a “little bit” I actually a whole heck of a lot. And yet I still buy more. (Please don’t tell my husband). I still like to paper craft but honestly I do not do it very often. I always think in my…
