“I can’t believe I’m 34 and trying to find myself” I think for the thousandth time. In this season of life, where I’m trying to treat myself with patience and grace, I remind myself of all the times in the past when I was trying to find out who I am. How many times beforeContinue reading “Doors”

Family Business
I never thought I’d be working with The Hubs. In fact, I openly spoke against it in the early days of our marriage. “No way we could work together.” “I didn’t go to college for four years to just be your helper.” “I don’t think spending that much time together is a good idea.” “IContinue reading “Family Business”
Hard Workin Man
I gave myself a couple of days off from blogging. It felt like too much too fast, an overly ambitious Lenten Promise for someone who hadn’t blogged in over a year I’m glad I did take a couple of days though. I needed it. This week is going to be hectic and having a peacefulContinue reading “Hard Workin Man”
Busy Day
I’m writing this on my cell phone in bed because I’m too exhausted to fire up the laptop. It’s been a long day. I can’t help but go to bed with a happy heart though. As long as the day has been, it’s been filled with things to be grateful for. I woke up lateContinue reading “Busy Day”
Sports
I used to have this theory that as Southern women age they get more and more into football. A majority of my early evidence consisted of my grandmother’s fervent watching of LSU football that eventually expanded to include the Saints and Texans. I remember my grandfather getting her all worked up every time LSU wouldContinue reading “Sports”
W.W.P&D.D?
Today I had to do something that made me uncomfortable. It logically wasn’t something that should make me uneasy after years of sales experience but it did. I had to ask a brand new customer to pay in advance for the items we needed to fix their scale. We’re buying the items from a vendorContinue reading “W.W.P&D.D?”
A Lesson From My Daughter
Today the Twins had a cheer clinic to go to and they were nervous about it. This is their first time being dropped off somewhere other than with family or at school. We didn’t know if any of their friends would be there. They’ve never tried cheer before. As we got out of the carContinue reading “A Lesson From My Daughter”
Looking Back on The Early Days
Today we celebrated the seventh birthday of our Littlest Ladies. We always seem to do it in March even though their birthday is in February. In a way though, it’s fitting. They were born in February but we didn’t get to enjoy them at home until March. The Twins were born at 33 weeks andContinue reading “Looking Back on The Early Days”
Family Updates
Since I updated you all on myself the other day, here’s an update on the whole crew. The Hubs and I bought a company in April of 2024. It’s a daily game of trial by fire that brings me joy, laughter, tears, and the bubble guts. I love him now more than ever but questionContinue reading “Family Updates”
468
468. That’s how many days it’s been since I last posted on this blog. Just a couple of months shy of a year and a half. My last post, Today, was dark. I’d just lost one of my best friends, a woman who helped raise me, and had such an incredible impact on this world.Continue reading “468”
