I know you know. It’s so obvious how could you miss it? Huge news, unbelievable, we can barely wrap our minds around it… it’s still raining in Atlanta. Yes, and my head is still ready to explode.  Any moment I am sure of it.  But, it gets even better, more amazing and unbelievable…  School Is Cancelled tomorrow due to rain, flooding and general … Continue reading →

Friends and a crab cake, steak and wine dinner help make endless rainy days, headaches and curls all the easier to handle! Cheers.

Wisdom

Hanging out in the kitchen with the boys while they ate dinner, I got schooled by my six year old.  I forgot to give Tucker a fork with his dinner until he reminded me.  I smiled, passed one over to him and said, “Silly mommy!”  Tucker laughed and responded… “Silly mommy, you need to go back to preschool. ” … Continue reading →
