Friday we’ll head over to my aunt’s for a huge firework show and what will undoubtedly be a gourmet picnic dinner. [...]

See…I have to write in run-ons because I am so busy today I don’t know what I’m going to do (but it’s certainly not take the time to use the spacebar). In addition to the 9+ hour day at work I’ve got to put in, I have a LONG list of trip prep stuff to [...]

Wasn’t feeling the wordpress love last night because it wouldn’t let me post this short missive. Ugh! Hopefully it’ll work this time.
Y’all — I’m going to Vegas in a week.

I am bubbling over with so much I want to tell you all…so much I want to share, to laugh about, to cry about, to vent about.

You’ll hear all about [...]

See that white speck there on the side of the mountain?
That is where I will be this weekend. (I took Friday off so we’re headed out first thing tomorrow morning.) It’s my favorite place in the world to be…In the Blue Ridge Mountains. At our family place at Air Bellows. Mom & Dad built that [...]

Just wanted to let y’all know that I’m going to take a bit of a blogging break. I’ll be back, maybe in about a week (maybe less…).
I put it all out there — the pleasant and unpleasant, the truth, the painful and ugly truth and all my emotions, and realize that one of the risks [...]

To all my mom friends…Happy Mother’s Day!!
My old same, Amy (who is an amazing mom…I wish I were more like her!), sent me this wonderful little pillow as a Mother’s Day gift (she’s so good like that!). I thought my single mom friends (especially April & SWM!) would appreciate this…
I am so blessed to have two wonderful boys [...]
