Last night, I hosted my 2nd annual Favorite Things Party. I look forward to this ALL year! Our guest of honor was Carrie–we are celebrating her 2nd Cancer-Free anniversary! YAY for kicking cancer’s butt! The rules are simple: pick one favorite item, $5 price range. Bring 5 of that same item to the party, unwrapped. During the party, we explain why the item is our favorite and then draw 5.. Read More
Heads up–I am shamelessly copying this blog post idea from SkinnyRunner.com. Each week, she does a “via the camera roll” post of her photos from the previous week. So this post is my unloading of photos from the week that didn’t make it to the blog yet. Things that are noteworthy, but not worthy of a full post all to themselves. 🙂 This week was homecoming week at our school… Read More
It’s HUMP DAY, ya’ll! If you haven’t seen that commercial, you have been living under a rock. Or something. It’s hilarious. This week, Kyndall played her last soccer game of the season (sniff, sniff). It’s bittersweet–I’m glad for the extra time we are going to have, but I LOVE (and SHE loves) the game of soccer! They finished out the season in 2nd place. BTW, she took a major kick.. Read More

These lovely ladies were in attendance: And here’s the table with all our gifts:.. Read More

Â The next morning, on November 28, I was scheduled for a major surgery at Huntsville Hospital. Â To best tell the story, I need to rewind a few.. Read More
Today, I’m thankful. For the rain, which we have been without for far too long. For people who work out in the rain–utility workers, garbage men, and anyone else who I’m forgetting. As I was driving today through the pouring down rain, I saw a garbage man, dripping wet, hop off the truck to grab a can. As I passed him, he smiled. Happy in spite of his circumstances. I..

SPA DAY!!! On Friday, my sweet hubby surprised me with a trip to the spa with one of my bestest friends, Carrie. We had a facial wax (ouch), a relaxing lunch, a makeup application session, and a spa pedicure and manicure. It was wonderful. Not only is Carrie one of my nearest and dearest friends, she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. After two major surgeries, she is now cancer.. Read More
