Sweet Saturday: Daughter Day

A few weeks ago Anna and I enjoyed a day just one on one. We got our nails and toenails done- both in red. Then, after her beauty sleep, I took her to get her hair done. I felt like the coolest Mom ever (even though I know lots of other moms do this onContinue reading "Sweet Saturday: Daughter Day"

Mommy Review Monday: Faster Than Normal- how to use your ADHD super powers

I've never been diagnosed as ADHD, however, I'm pretty sure I've got it.  For example, this is the third time I've started and stopped writing this blog and I'm only two sentences in. Or another example:  I'm having a serious conversation about school and discipline with a friend about grounding from TV. I go fromContinue reading "Mommy Review Monday: Faster Than Normal- how to use your ADHD super powers"

Photo Friday: Mr. Chairman, My Dad

My dad doesn't often read this. And it's a good thing because he's a very humble man and may not approve of me bragging on him so much. However, I'm going to brag about him anyway. Last night he was "inaugurated" as the Chairman (equivalent of President) of the Mason Contractors of America (MCAA). He'sContinue reading "Photo Friday: Mr. Chairman, My Dad"

Photo Friday: Pinewood Derby Prep 2018

It's hard to believe that it's already almost Pinewood Derby time again for Boy Scouts. Last weekend Will and Garen headed down to Hamilton to work with YaYa (my dad) on this year's model. Dad is the most detailed oriented man I know when it comes to this. It's such a good example for Will.Continue reading "Photo Friday: Pinewood Derby Prep 2018"

Sweet Sunday: Anna’s Got Cookies

Anna has her cookies and has been selling them all weekend. I'm a little partial but I think she's the cutest Daisy ever. I mean, really how could you say no to this face?!?

Photo Friday: I’m an Auntie

I actually don't remember whether I've blogged about my new niece or not but she is an absolute doll. I got to see her again last weekend before the Odom family made their way back up North. She was baptized at my parents' church over the weekend. Unfortunately, Kate had some disgusting bug causing herContinue reading "Photo Friday: I’m an Auntie"

What’s Your Favorite Flavor?

Tomorrow morning, I'll officially be a "cookie mom."  You know, the crazy ladies dragging their little girls around selling those addicting little round morsels of joy???  For those of you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm speaking of the ever-popular Girl Scout Cookies. That's right, folks.  Cookie Season officially kicks off tomorrow. And, glutten-for-punishmentContinue reading "What’s Your Favorite Flavor?"

Sweet Saturday: In the Kitchen

Today was a great day with the girls. They love to "pay kitten" (aka Play Kitchen). They're very creative and I only had to retrieve one chewed up plastic French fry from Kate's mouth. I call that a success. People often ask if they get along well. And I always answer with "Eh." Their personalitiesContinue reading "Sweet Saturday: In the Kitchen"

Photo Friday: New Lens, New Year

One of Garen's new toys was is a new artistic lens.  So, I'm really just the lady behind the man with the camera so all I can do is be supportive... and buy him cool stuff. He got some great shots playing with it.  Here's a few to share for Photo Friday. Enjoy your weekend!
