My sister-in-law, Kelsey, along with some of her friends, marched yesterday in the NYC Women's March. I strive to be politically neutral here on my blog, so I won't be expressing my views besides that I am extremely grateful that we still have freedom of speech in this country. Regardless of whether you agree withContinue reading "Capturing Freedom"
Kate and Cat (AKA Dawg)
The girls take after their daddy and looove Samantha, the cat, who they lovingly refer to as Dawg. She is surprisingly patient with them, considering they lay on her, pull her tail, and chase after her on a daily basis. I happened to hear the girls giggling behind the couch and was lucky enough to catchContinue reading "Kate and Cat (AKA Dawg)"
Adventures with Four: Top Tips for Mananging a Busy Work and Home Schedule

Honestly, what choice do you have but to figure it out?!?

Celebrating MLK
Confession: this is a little more serious of a post than what I usually write. I grew up in a small, rural town in Texas where we didn't ever get MLK day off. We briefly learned about him and his "I have a dream" speech in school. But we never went too much in depthContinue reading "Celebrating MLK"
Photo Friday: Just a Swingin’
Swinging is fun at Mammy and Yaya's. Check out the awesome swing the big kids have. Does it make me a nerd that I even like swinging on it?!?
William Wednesday
I sometimes feel like I don't post enough about Will, being both the only boy and the oldest child. I want to make it a point to highlight periodically some of the great stuff he's been doing as well. He's in Cub Scouts. It's crazy having that many little boys in one place but IContinue reading "William Wednesday"
Mommy Review Monday: CuisinartICE-30R Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker
Anna asked for an ice cream maker for Christmas. She saw one in the toy section at Target one day but I knew my patience would not allow for us to make ice cream "Easy Bake" style (although she did get an Easy Bake oven for Christmas). So, I decided to go with a "real"Continue reading "Mommy Review Monday: CuisinartICE-30R Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt Sorbet & Ice Cream Maker"
Let it Snow
It actually snowed here in Texas yesterday. The kids were super excited about it. Unfortunately, it wasn't even enough to make snowballs or snow angels. I guess we'll take what we can get though. It's been unseasonably warm this winter and I've waiting for a good cold spell like this. I've got homemade chicken noodleContinue reading "Let it Snow"
Photo Friday: Home for (After) Christmas
We celebrated Christmas after Christmas with the Odom family when everyone could get together. We actually remembered to get some family photos. I think they turned out cute...even if Kate didn't want to look at the camera and was not happy by the time we got to our immediate family photo! These are a fewContinue reading "Photo Friday: Home for (After) Christmas "
Resolution Reflection: Stop Planning and Start Doing
I'll start by saying that I have a lot of good qualities. However, starting and finishing goals and projects is not always one of my strong suits. With that said, as I started thinking about all of the many things I wanted to do and accomplish in 2017, I reflected on all of the unfinishedContinue reading "Resolution Reflection: Stop Planning and Start Doing"
