Y’all know that I love my car. Right? *Toast Not Included For the record, I still do. Her geekiness mirrors my own in a way that creates an intimate bond that I have previously never experienced with an automobile. (Plus, her cupholders and floorboards have 8 interchangeable brightly colored lighting schemes.) She constantly surprises me […]

My Greek Home, and a Giveaway!
Friday, for lunch. I was toting both kids and meeting two people. At Nabeel’s, of course – there’s a booth in the back that is basically my own personal conference room. The restaurant was buzzing, people in every dining hall, salads stacked and ready to go out from the open kitchen. (Photo from a slightly […]
Reasons To Do Life In the Wild.
We went camping at our favorite North Alabama tiny, unknown campground: Buck’s Pocket. We went for the endless views, The time with family, The campfire, (and accompanying marshmallows,) and so that our kids could get a hot breakfast. Because they only get that when Gramamma is around. And especially, to get away from it all. […]
The Day Little Tykes Failed Me.
I promised a weekly-ish homeschooling post for a while-ish. (Last week was my off week, so it doesn’t count.) This week, I decided to share a typical fail. Because fails are just as common as successes, and I don’t want anyone thinking otherwise. My dear sweet husband bought a used Little Tykes slide and car […]
Tiny Bits of Grace.
As my last re-run before getting back to regularly scheduled posts, I wanted to share something that happened last year, but perhaps means more to me this year due to some significant changes in my life. But I’ll get back to that at the end of the post. Originally Published August 11, 2011. Ali has […]
How to Make Word Search Gift Wrap.
This was my favorite holiday memory from last year, and I’m pretty sure it was Ali’s as well. I am already trying to figure out what I could do this year to rival it, because my Mister Christmas Husband would surely not approve of doing the same paper two years in a row. But just […]
Can’t Buy Me Love.
My bank may put a freeze on my accounts for reposting this, but I just HAVE to. Because Chris got a personalized thank you note in the mail last week. From a female teller. Thanking him for his business. Fortunately for me, when I originally posted this, my commenters informed me of these elusive collectible […]
The Day He Received His Third Nipple.
The extremely high time requirements of my last post have kept me behind on everything (including blogging) for the past several weeks. To celebrate finally completing that project (and to have a bit of time to catch up on writing and emails and dishes and lying comatose on the couch), I’m going to publish a […]
Jeans for Most of America.
The average woman’s size in America is a 12/14. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a statistics class, but I’m pretty sure that indicates that around half of the female population is above that mark. So it only makes sense that with every denim post that I’ve written, I’ve gotten hundreds of emails and […]
