So very thankful......that I could hug my children, those of my womb and of my heart, all weekend long. Praying for those who no longer can...for a feisty, funny, full-of-life neighbor who blessed our lives these last 18 years. We miss her so much already and our street seems so empty without her. We love [...]

It is wicked crazy over at Smith Abbey these days. Like Perfect Storm wicked crazy. My People are walking on egg shells thinking I am going to go over the edge at any moment.I, however, am surprisingly calm. *which is also why they think I'm going to blow any second now*No, really...I am like Zen [...]

Random photo of my To Do list for today. In no particular order:Apparently, I need the pressure of a writing challenge in order to write.Because I've got nothing. I've got lots to say, I'm just pretty sure you don't want to hear it.For example, my allergies have been wicked for months now and finally kicked [...]

That's my motto for 2013. I don't really do "resolutions." More like a "bucket list." It always comes down to a list with me, doesn't it? This list is not exhaustive; it is subject to change; it will be added to; most likely subtracted from. So, here we go at the first run:1. Scripture memorization. [...]

Confession: I had this post completely written yesterday. This morning I came here to post it and decided to dump everything but the first paragraph and turn it into a luscious list.  1. Seriously, y'all. I have no willpower. Zip. Zero. None. I can not stay away from Pinterest during the day and Gibbs' siren [...]

Wanted to share some pics with y'all:After. Before.This happens when I set the camera down and walk away for a minute.Love these guys.Packing up The Big Boy...end of college years.As I dreaded expected, December is flying by. And so far, it has not been kind.I'm getting further and further behind on everything I want to do. [...]

I am totally floored by the fact that it is December 1. Of 2012. How is this possible? You know what this means? Next month I will turn, well, a really high number. This also means that my bff, Charlene and I will be the same exact age for 6 months or so. I hate [...]

How did this happen? Wasn't it just Jan 1, 2012 a couple months ago?So, in honor of the last day of the 11th month of the year 2012, I think A List is in order. Even better...A List of Randomness. *aka I really have nothing to say so I will make it up as I [...]

Thanks, everyone for all of the sweet comments. Deciding to title my blogs alphabetically in November was really the outcome of trying to figure out a way to come up with something to write about each day. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be and I think it really gave me an [...]

UPDATE: My bff from high school, Joyce was the first to answer correctly: The blog titles are alphabetical. But your comments were enlightening...apparently I am obsessed with change or, rather, hating change, lol.  The first person who comments on my blog in the comments section with the correct answer will win. You cannot comment anonymously, [...]
