We live in the country. Last year, I was walking from our back door towards our garden when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a 5 foot black snake only a couple feet away from my flip-flopped feet. (try saying that 10 times really fast…flip-flopped feet) My adrenaline kicked in and I … More Walk by faith, not by sight…
Well, another Monday has rolled around! I’m sure each of you jumped out of bed, danced a little jig and greeted everyone in your household with a “Top O’ the Mornin’ to Ya!” Am I right? I really wish I was a morning person. I keep holding on to the hope that I’ll someday reach … More Goofballs & Grumpy Pants
This past week has been an eye opening experience for me. I guess I’ve lived a sheltered life, but never in my dreams would I thought I would witness so many Americans standing so divided and displaying such hateful attitudes. Hopefully, I’m not the only one whose heart has been disturbed by this. This post … More Even Elvis said, “Have Mercy…”
Does this sound familiar? “I just don’t feel happy. I don’t really know why, but I just can’t seem to snap out of it. It’s hard to find joy in anything.

As I sat at my son’s baseball practice the other day, I noticed one of his teammates crouched down near second base. He was using his right hand to scoop up the infield dirt. He proceeded to fill the baseball glove on his left hand with several handfuls. Then, the time came for him to … More Loose Dirt & Little Boys…
We went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner this evening. Upon ordering the “usual”, I had the quick thought of trying to choose the healthier option and ordered fruit for a change. I immediately had remorse and changed it back to the waffle fries, laughing it off while explaining to the cashier that I came really close … More It’s all in how you look at it…
How many of us have said, “That’s the worst…” or “There’s nothing worse than…”, when speaking about a situation? I’ve been guilty of this many times over my life. However, over the past year, I’ve become very uncomfortable about using the phrase. In the day and age we live in, where so much of our … More That’s the worst…
The area where we live has seen its share of rainfall over the past month. So much rainfall, in fact, that it has caused some of the main highways to flood. Our kids have never seen anything like it before, so I took them to see some of the flooded areas this afternoon. The flooding … More Island Adventure with Bessie
Since I became a mom in 2005, I’ve opted for simple and comfortable. VERY RARELY do I choose shoes that wedge me much higher than my 5’3″ stature. It’s got to be something pretty important for me to choose to wear pants that don’t have a comfortable waist band. Hey, I admire those who wear … More Why T-Shirt & Yoga Pants?
