Seriously, folks, has it really been five years that I’ve been married to this wonderful man?!? It’s both flown by and seemed like longer than 5 years. In some ways, I feel like it was just yesterday we were walking down the isle (and I was about 25 lbs lighter). In other ways, it seemsContinue reading “Photo Friday: Five Fabulous Years Together”

Chalkboard Quotes: Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today
A few years back, right after we moved into this house, my sweet mother-in-law gave us this frame. It was another color and didn’t have anything behind it. We debated between using it to hang wreaths or other stuff in it or get a large picture printed for it. But I had wanted a bigContinue reading “Chalkboard Quotes: Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today”
Photo Friday: Lovely Louisiana
We were fortunate to have Christmas with the Odom side of our family at Emilie and Brian’s home in Alexandria, LA. It’s a beautiful place to be. We got to go do some hiking in a nearby national park. Although it was cold and a little damp, we all enjoyed it and it was greatContinue reading “Photo Friday: Lovely Louisiana”

Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust
I love blueberries….any way you fix them. Growing up, my Grammy made a lot of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers, and, occasionally, a blueberry pie. For quite a few summers in a row, one of my Uncle Mo’s good friends provided a steady supply of fresh blueberries. Grammy always froze them and we had (almost) freshContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”
Mommy Review Monday: Pottery Barn Fairfax Pre-K Toddler Backpack
For the girls’ birthday last year MaMa got the littles backpacks since they’d been trying to steal the bigs’ bags and backpacks for a few months. After all, what toddler doesn’t like bags??? These Fairfax Pre-K backpacks have been FANTASTIC. They are the perfect size for the littles and they LOVE to carry them around.

Adventures with Four: Roadtrip to See Grandad at the Blowin’ O
My Grandad (my dad’s dad) is my last living grandparent. He’s had a couple of strokes in the last year or so and has had a rough time in general since my Granny has passed. It’s to be expected when you’ve lived a good, long life and lost your wife of 65 years. Currently, he’sContinue reading “Adventures with Four: Roadtrip to See Grandad at the Blowin’ O”

Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights
As I write this today, I’m recovering (and doing loads and loads of laundry) from our family vacation. It was fantastic and exhausting. We started out last Friday roadtripping down to Galveston with the littles (stay tuned for a post on road trips with toddlers), followed by an afternoon at Schlitterbahn in Galveston. Saturday, weContinue reading “Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights”
Photo Friday: Independence Day 2018
We celebrated Independence Day this year with a shrimp boil at Aunt Haley’s House with the Graves family, minus Will and Anna, who were at Joe Daddy’s house for the holiday. Aunt Haley had a sprinkler going, fully loaded bubble guns, and poppers (since we’re in a burn ban, plus two year olds and realContinue reading “Photo Friday: Independence Day 2018”
