They came, we conquered and I’m exhausted beyond words. So tired, in fact, that I haven’t even been able to motivate to write this as I’ve been admiring my swollen ankles and actually taking naps! That’s tired folks. I’ve actually embraced the state of being lazy and damn it is a beautiful place! 12 days and counting… then no more … Continue reading
They’re at least 15 years old, broken beyond repair and recently retired to a corner in the basement. A young ambitious 6-year-old boy dug them out today, laced them up and set off to find his daddy on a mission to put them back to work. Considering the miles and history, these are some big boots to fill. Enjoy the pictorial.
In a day filled with trips to an endless list of stores for everything from food to school supplies, a two-hour break for a tapas lunch with a dear friend and multi-tasking like a bandit, I couldn’t squash my craving for a chocolate milk shake. I needed it. Really, I did. What the hell are … Continue reading
A character with fierce independence and a warm and loving heart. Our Cooper is 6 today. Where did the years go? Cheers to you my former baby! May you continue to grow and grace us with your smiles, antics, enough chaos to keep us on our toes and the abundance of love that you exude … Continue reading
They’ve been asking for over a year to have a lemonade stand and while we’ve supported their idea, we had to be sure they understood that while we live off of a main road, our little street barely gets any traffic. Expectations were set fairly low, but we were optimistic and encouraging nevertheless. A right of passage … Continue reading

It’s been months since Cooper and I sat in the basement for hours filling Dixie cups with potting soil and planting seeds. We spent weeks as a family watching seeds flourish and others fail to grow or thrive in our make-shift greenhouse set up each year by my bedroom windows. Hours were spent, as they are each year in late winter, tilling the … Continue reading
During the course of two hours and one meeting this week, I certainly got a beat down… A gentleman told me… “You look like you have three babies, not one, in that belly.” “Well, isn’t that a very thoughtful and kind comment.” I said as I smiled and walked away. Not long after that, a … Continue reading
A bowl of happy and ripe Georgia white peaches sat begging to be played with this morning. I was more than happy to oblige, so on went the music, my little chef assistant joined in on the action and a few hours later we had more than enough peach hand pies to go around and a mess that … Continue reading
…to promote a cause and raise money while simultaneously challenging the last shred of my self-esteem in the waning weeks of my pregnancy are pretty great. So, in the spirit of the cause and in an effort to bring awareness and hopefully raise more money, I’m sharing the video of me promoting, with the help of Tina Buck who lost her … Continue reading
I’m exhausted today. I’ve done it to myself and have no one else to blame. I created for myself a day full of enough activity, nesting, cleaning, projects and anything I can think of on purpose. It’s an introspective day for me and one I’ve been able to completely spend alone thanks to the boys … Continue reading
Happy Father’s Day!
An extension of our journey begins tomorrow. I’ve been keeping this to myself for quite some time. Not quite sure how to share and not quite sure how it all would be received, I’ve kept my mouth shut. From the outset, in the first moments I wondered if I was being “Punked”and an MTV crew … Continue reading
