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…
10 Kisses, 10 Hugs!
One night last month I was putting the boys to bed solo since Tim had left me to go to some fancy-shmancy golf tournament called The Masters. Yeah. Whatever. 😉 Anyway, G had kind of a rough night of not being able to calm down AT ALL and NOT listening to me and well, that…
The Gavinator is SIX!
When Gavin was born I remember watching the American Idol finale from my hospital bed. It was the year that Jordan Sparks won. She beat Blake. And I knew she would, but I just liked him so much, I was rooting for him. He was really cool and different. I also remember the nurse I…
It was a REALLY good day
Ten things I loved about Mother’s Day 2013:1. Breakfast in bed. Oh yeah! A cinnamon sugar donut (homemade by the hubby), eggs, bacon and coffee. That’s right girls, be jealous.2. HGTV while eating breakfast in bed. And boys bringing me pressies they made at school, WHILE still in bed.3. Church with my whole family, sitting…
