Hey friends. So, I have a love/hate relationship with pinterest. But, lately, I’m loving it again. For a while, I was hating it because it made me feel like a loser that only pinned and never did anything with those pins. But, lately, I’ve found the joy in pinning again. And, as I scrolled through […]
Tips for Taking Family Photos Yourself. (Or What NOT to Do)
This past week, my husband suggested that over the weekend, we go for a drive in the mountains. I casually threw in there, “OK, but if we do that, we all have to be dressed cute in case I want to take any family photos.” To my shock, he agreed. Little did he know […]
I Discovered the Key to Getting My Kid to Eat
Feeding my kids has never been my favorite chore parental responsibility. And, with every child, there has been a challenge of some sort in the eating department. Cute little Avery used to store food in her cheeks for what seemed like hours. It was probably just minutes. But, with those fat, chubby cheeks she had, I was […]
Color Me Happy
So, I’m not much of a DIYer at all. I just don’t have the patience for it really. But the strange thing is that I’m a creative person by nature and I love the idea of the DIY project. I love buying used stuff, but I rarely want to put the time and energy into […]
Not Texan Enough
If you watch old home movies of me as a kid, you probably wouldn’t believe it was me. Not because I look that different (aside from the horrible perm of the late 80’s) but because of how I talked back then. I used to talk like a Texan. An East Texan at that. Watch this […]

Within 5 minutes of having a toy gun in our house, we have an injury. I swore that I would never have toy guns for my boys. In fact, I don’t even allow them to talk about “killing” each other while they’re playing. As much as I attempt to control that, I still hear, “I’m […]
Primary Perfection
He walked up to the pulpit in his little suit jacket and I held my breath. He’s just four years old and standing in front of a congregation of about 250 people. At a microphone. I watched eagerly as he stood there, not remembering what he was supposed to say. He didn’t tell me he […]
Life & Style with Kids
I’ve been in a writing stupor lately. I sit down to do it, and spend my time on the computer “researching” other things like how to grout a perfect straight line, or how to make Lorax trees from pom poms and pool noodles. Important stuff, you see. Things have been going along great over here. […]
How To Create a Personalized School Emergency Kit for Your Child
I think half of what my child brings home from school goes in the trash. Sadly, I sift through the papers that are full of everything from a flier about the upcoming fundraiser, to a reading calendar, or local community ed. plays and classes. It’s hard to want to go through any of it, and […]
