“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”
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”
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”
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”
Into The Unknown!
Dearest Readers, I’ve been putting off this post because I just didn’t have the mental fortitude to write it. I wasn’t ready for it to be real for a variety of reasons. Disclaimer before anyone freaks out, no one is dead or terribly I’ll and I’m not hatching anymore children, I just need a momentContinue reading “Into The Unknown!”
With A Little Help From My Friends
One of the things that I’m blessed to do at work is teach a class called Understanding the Dynamics of Poverty. The class is aimed at educating about the causes and effects of both situational and generational poverty. In the class, one of the things we discuss is that people who live in poverty oftenContinue reading “With A Little Help From My Friends”
New Year’s Day!
Eight years ago (my God has it really been eight years?!) I got my heart broken on New Years Eve. A couple days later I adopted The Little Bad Dog and five months later I met the love of my life. Six months after that I met my oldest children and so on and soContinue reading “New Year’s Day!”
Family Updates
Dear Dedicated Readers, after almost a year, I think it’s time to begin writing again. I’d thought my days of blogging were done, but I’ve been feeling the call again so here we are. A lot has changed over the past year, too much to fit into one post for sure so for now we’llContinue reading “Family Updates”
It Takes A Village…
I’ve always heard the phrase “it takes a village to raise a child” and automatically assumed that translated into directly helping to raise the children. I wasn’t wrong, but I missed part of the value of a village as well. You see, I’ve been struggling lately. Work is amazing, my Husband is doing much better,Continue reading “It Takes A Village…”
