attached to my hip and now - my firstborn daughter is nearly 23 years old. Suki’s birthday is just around the corner, August 21st. I don’t know where all those years went… they flew by in a blink of an eye. I remember when she was a newborn, people would look at her and comment, [...]

Five Random Moments this Week:

We’ve been on the search for new sneakers for Luby, with the first day of school coming this week. She’s kind of tall for her age, wearing a size 4 1/2 shoe now. In our little town, it’s hard to find those *middle of the road* youth sizes…. not quite kids [...]

Where has the summer gone? I know that’s what my kids keep asking …. as today marks the beginning of school. I hate that our schools start sooo stinkin early, in the height of the August heat. Poor kiddos, they are dreading it in some ways - and so is their mama. Back to [...]

And then there are times when it is just CRAZY, like being caught in a perpetual storm…. things that you expect [...]

We got home late Saturday, after our wonderful relaxing and fun-filled family weekend away. We managed to squeak together a rather hodge-podge meal of random leftovers and crashed hard. It’s always fun to be away but soooo nice to be home in our big ole’ fabulous bed!
Sunday dawned early for me - watching a movie [...]
