If you’re anything like me, the needs you see in people hurting all around you have a deep impact on your heart. You hurt when others hurt and often find yourself trying to deal with the strong desire of wanting to help everyone who crosses your path by somehow leaving their day a little better … More One Vs. Everyone
Today, marks 2 years since we were allowed to go home the first time after our initial 6 1/2 week stay at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. I’ve kept a detailed journal of my son’s entire cancer journey since the beginning. Recently, I’ve been looking back on some of those early journal … More Just Keepin’ It Real
One thing we all have in common is the ability to use a drive-thru restaurant. I’ll warn you right now…if you’ve never been through a drive-thru, we can’t be friends. (OK…for those who don’t know me, that was a joke!) Have you ever heard of the Drive-Thru difference? Here’s how it works: When you go … More Don’t Think Twice
Did I trick you into thinking this post was about a box of chocolates? I like chocolate, but that’s not where I’m going with this post today. LIFE IS LIKE A BRANSON SHOW We live within driving distance to Branson, MO, a popular destination for vacationers in Missouri and surrounding areas. This town, in my … More Life Is Like…
By now, you’re probably aware that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. It’s nice to know the desperate need for more research funding is being promoted all of over the country this month.

Hello, all my t-shirt & yoga pants sisters! It’s been a while since my last post. It’s not because I haven’t thought about each of you who choose to read what’s on my heart. My prayer before I post anything new is that He would be glorified in the words written and each of you … More God is Bigger…
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. I feel like I’m on the movie Groundhog Day and I’ll never escape.” We only need to turn on the television to become bombarded … More Something Missing?
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…
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?
