As I was pulling into the Target parking lot today, there was a lady standing on the outskirts with a cardboard sign reading “I have no home, no money, and 2 young children. Please help.” She was dressed very sparsely and had an infant in her arms. She looked like she hadn’t bathed in days. Normally, I ignore this kind of thing. I mean, she only had one child with..

The Post I SHOULD Be Paid to Write (with a little TMI)
You know how you love sharing with your girlfriends the things that work for you? Like new makeup, or awesome products, or how you get your kid to stop picking their nose behave in public? I have a few things I have bragged about to my girlfriends lately, so I thought I would share them with you. Warning: one (or two) of these posts are fairly personal, so if you are.. Read More
Weekend Intentions…. Blah Blah Blah
Isn’t it funny how one little sick girl can blow all your “intentions” right out of the water? We’ve all had the sinus crud the last few weeks, thanks to our bi-polar Alabama weather, but Libby’s got worse this weekend. She started running a fever on Saturday. Luckily, her doctor called in an antibiotic, so she was on the road to recovery as soon as we started that. (Correction: as.. Read More
10 Weekend Intentions
Rather than letting this weekend pass by in lazy bliss, like the last several weekends of ours have done since basketball ended, I have several things I need to get accomplished. Blogging about these 10 weekend intentions gives me a little accountability. I purposefully put things to do with the girls on my list. Too often, our time is spent together just sitting around watching tv, or letting them ride.. Read More
Mama’s Gone Crazy
Confession: I’ve recently developed the habit of speaking like a hoodrat. You know, throwing out the gangsta slang and all that. I think it’s my 28 year old’s brain attempt to sound cool. I can’t stop myself. I throw out phrases like “Haters gonna hate”, “I didn’t choose the thug life, the thug life chose me”, and my favorite “Don’t make me take my earrings out.” I’ve been known to..

D-Now Host Home Parenting Done Right
For several years now, J and I have volunteered to be host homes for the D-Now weekend at our church. For those of you who are not familiar with D-Now, it stands for Disciple Now. It’s basically a weekend long camp for teens where they meet in both small and large groups to learn more about and worship God. Church members sign up to be host homes and a group.. Read More

30 Before 30
This year, I did not make the first New Year’s Resolution. Usually, I have a list of things I want to change/better/perfect/do in the new year. I did, however, make a different list. Yesterday, I turned 28. I’ve seen TONS of super cute 30 Before 30 lists, and I want to join those ranks. 30 Before 30 Run the Color Run 5K. Go on a cruise to the Bahamas. Give.. Read More
Right Now
I have December Daily pages to share, our Disney trip to recap, and a major catch up from the last few weeks to blog about. But I’m just not feeling it. So here’s what’s going on, right now: Listening: to my “Concert Junkie” playlist on Spotify: Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Thompson Square. Gearing up for the concert on the 18th. Wearing: jeans and a thin, long sleeve.. Read More
The Christmas Lens
We had the most amazing Christmas, spent exactly the way it should be–low key, with our family. Christmas Day we stayed in our pj’s until 5pm. We only changed to go eat at Meme’s. The day after Christmas was spent shopping & packing, because on the 27th we left for Disney World!!! That’s right people. We rang in 2013 at the most magical place on earth! We drove back through..
