One of my friends texted me yesterday and said, “I need to talk- about kids and sports and marriage. You’re further along than we are and I just want to talk. I know your life isn’t perfect, but it sure seems like it.” (To which I silently chuckled). We talked to today about all of […]View post →

Gosh it seems that everywhere I look, and from everything I read, there are so many families experiencing horrendous grief and tragedy lately.  Children drowning, teenagers dying in car wrecks, teenagers drowning, businesses burning…so much sadness and horrendous grief.  I only know one of these families personally, so I see their social media accounts and […]View post →

Fall is my FAVORITE season!!!  Football, food, the fair, and fashion are just some of the reasons.  Sometimes, though, it’s hard to figure out how to dress for fall weather.   It could be chilly in the morning, warm in the afternoons, and chilly again in the evenings.  Don’t fret!  I’ve put together some of […]

A few years ago, Presley was heading off to church camp for 3 nights. Bob and I were a little hesitant…what if he didn’t like the food? I mean, even if I fix his toast on a different size bread than usual, he won’t eat it. People on the autism spectrum have MAJOR sensory issues. […]View post →

My Daddy's advice to me about money: "Gosh babe, money is not happiness, ok? Yes it's important - but only because of what it can do for your family. It should never have anything to do with you socially. You're rich at heart - are you happy? Never judge a friend based on what they have or don't have."
