On Tuesday the littles and I loaded up and headed to the middle school just down the road a few minutes. This was my first time voting there, but I was familiar with the school, as Aub went there in sixth and seventh grades. We walked in and the jaguars and purple and black colors… Continue reading My One and Only Political Post

Catch and Release
Our Princess came in from reading her science book yesterday afternoon. She was quite upset. "Mama, do you know why the pond down there isn't running over with fish?!" she asked, referring to a fun fishing pond we've visited a couple of times. "Do you know? It's BECAUSE THE FISH ARE DYING!" Sometimes I cannot… Continue reading Catch and Release
“Scratch It, You’re Done”
Today the crew and I found ourselves doing an unexpected end of semester move for our college girl. It was a very good thing, and we rocked it. We moved her across campus less than 24 hours after she got word she could move, and it took us 2 hours from start to finish. Yeah,… Continue reading “Scratch It, You’re Done”
The Magic Remains
Our elves showed up last night. (Well actually this morning. Early. Don't ask me how I know.) We have Christopher PopinKins, whom my Mama gave us years ago. He doesn't do anything really naughty. He just leaves at night and goes to the North Pole to file his report, and then the adventure is finding where… Continue reading The Magic Remains
For the Love of Kindness, PLEASE
Y'all. I'm done. I am worn out. I am so tired to seeing folks hurting others with their comments and freely shared views on social media and other outlets. The thing is, they don't mean to, I'm sure.

That he meant it about all of our neighbors, not just the ones who are the same color or nationality or believe the same things or… Continue reading Love Thy Neighbor
Doing What is Beautiful
There is an Arabic term that means "doing what is beautiful." Ihsan This word embodies taking one's inner faith and living it out. Another part of this way of life is to live as though God were standing just over there and could be seen. This is such a lovely concept. I have spent days… Continue reading Doing What is Beautiful

An Angel in the ATL
Today we made the trek up to the big ATL, Atlanta, the big city, for a checkup with a specialist. Me, being me, I underestimated the time it would take to get there. I also was not up to date with the information that they had moved offices. So while it was very near 11:00… Continue reading An Angel in the ATL
Flying with Fear
We are back home. Back into our day to dailies with full force after a weekend of getting away, literally and figuratively. A weekend of fun and laughter and reconnecting. And of facing our fears. Head on. This past weekend was the Fella's family reunion that happens every couple of years. While I've been to… Continue reading Flying with Fear
