We’re on tail-end of Week 2 of our COVID19 experience with the four kids here. I’m still going but I feel like I’m starting to run low on batteries at this point. I’m actually starting to feel more like the wind-up little chicks that a lot of us had as children. Every day I windContinueContinue reading “Days 8 and 9- I’m the energizer bunny that seems to need re-charging”

Photo Friday: Longhorn Cavern State Park
Over Christmas break, we made the trip from Hamilton down to Longhorn Cavern State Park. I’d been there back when Will was still an only child but we didn’t have time to go on the cave tour. It was one of the Texas Bucket List things that I’d always wanted to check off. I don’tContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Longhorn Cavern State Park”
Photo Friday: Five Fabulous Years Together
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 seemsContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Five Fabulous Years Together”
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 greatContinueContinue 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) freshContinueContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”
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, weContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights”
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’sContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Mr. Chairman, My Dad”
Photo Friday: Sweet Holiday Memories with Sugar Cookies
A couple of weekends back, the kids helped me to make Christmas cookies. We had such a good time, even if my kitchen became a disaster zone and the control freak, perfectionist side of me struggled to let them decorate them however they wanted. Garen caught a few good photos of us in action. Yes,ContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Sweet Holiday Memories with Sugar Cookies”
(Not so) Tall Tale Tuesday: What Makes a Great Mom
Today’s prompt for (Not so) Tall Tale Tuesday is: Write about the woman who has had the greatest impact on your life. This didn’t take more than a few seconds for me to know exactly who I’d write about- my Mom. We’d both freely admit that we don’t always agree about everything- far from it.ContinueContinue reading “(Not so) Tall Tale Tuesday: What Makes a Great Mom”
Wellness Wednesday: What is a well being?
I’m branching out here with Wellness Wednesday in an effort to be a well being. So, for starters, what is a well being? I think that this is a very personal question but, for me, being well means the following: Enjoying family Staying Positive Expressing gratitude Having energy Eating healthy Staying active Keeping my mindContinueContinue reading “Wellness Wednesday: What is a well being?”
