I dread the nights we get home late from sports and look at each other wondering what’s for dinner? Kim at Write Shop mentioned the other day that her family had become a huge fan of Pioneer Woman’s vegetable lasagna. Uh, yeah … who wouldn’t, right? We will be gone all day tomorrow, have sports [...]

Nicholas has been asking for a mini-donut maker. I almost bought one a month or so ago, but I didn’t thinking ‘they are just trendy. we’ll use it for a while and it will end up at Goodwill.’ MawMaw thought differently and mailed him one last week. (thanks, MawMaw) I posted this picture on Instagram [...]

We had no intentions of seeing the ball drop last night. We were all in our jammies by 9p. But the people around us had other ideas. We are staying at our home away from home this week – for a change of scenery. And to relax and rejuvenate. I didn’t even consider that the [...]

We have upcoming changes in regards to Bryan’s job that are requiring each of us to make adjustments around here. Change tends to be a four-letter word in my vocabulary, ya’ know? As much as this ‘change’ seems to not make sense on paper, we both feel it is in the best interest of our [...]

Christmas Eve-Eve

Yesterday was Christmas Eve-Eve. We had things to do. Places to be. There were moments yesterday when I thought, I wish we could just stay here. We have so many projects in-work. The kids had started tearing apart their rooms to paint. ::don’t ask:: Furniture is disassembled. Stuff is everywhere! We were/are scheduled to work [...]

Y’all know the sock bun thing is all the rave now, right?? No? Yeah, I didn’t know either. Until Maggie-Peyton enlightened me. At The Relevant Conference.

Remember me telling y’all we haven’t bought one gift?? Yeah, we still haven’t. But what I have already received has cost me. Time, energy, my health. Not to mention financially. <—- we won’t go there And could have cost me even more. These are my meds for today. I have shingles. {and not the kind [...]

Organic food

I have made mention before of our food co-op. Whether I have 5$ or 500$ to spend on groceries, it is a true blessing for our family. The farm is almost an hour and a half (one way) from our house, but worth the drive. If y’all knew what I paid for a box of [...]

We haven’t put up a Christmas tree. Not to say we won’t eventually. We will. Maybe. And then again, we may not. But at this point in the game …. we have no tree. no wreath, no mantle decor, no Spode…you get the picture. And y’all, it has been OK. No one {as in ME} [...]
