Ladies, I took the sacrificial "L" for you all today. I completely forgot about Father's Day. ? I blame the lack of media really. I didn't watch television all weekend, so there were no reminders to let me know that it was Father's Day. (It may sound like a weak excuse, but I'm sticking to it. ...
And Grace Will Lead Her Home
It has been such a crazy year for me. I told you I had my second son, and when I was on maternity leave, we had workers in and out of our house for different maintenance items (roof, air conditioner, punctured pipe from the roof repair which left us with a hole in our ceiling ...
Transparency Will Set You Free
I haven't written in a year... talk about hiatus! I finally figured out what my problem is. When life happens and the going gets tough, I tend to buckle down and "get 'er done," and at no time do I think of documenting it. (I'll do better...) So my year at a glance: I still ...
Another Year Wiser
I could act like it hasn't been months since I last wrote, but that would just be weird. So let me address the elephant in the room. Yes, I've been on hiatus. No, I didn't realize that it's been so long. Yes, I'm doing fine. No, I still haven't revealed what's keeping me so busy. ...
As the Plot Thickens (A Family Saga)
I wouldn't consider myself to have a big family, but we're not hurting for more people. I have two brothers and one sister, so I grew up in a six-family household (and I'm the baby). Sure it can be annoying at times, but bigger families are fun. You seriously cannot even try to predict what ...
“…And Lean Not on Your Own Understanding”
I hate that my favorite Bible verse is so... cliche. I envy those who start quoting some powerful verses about redemption from condemnation when asked about their favorite verse. And as much as I love and cherish those verses, it doesn't do that special something for me as when I turn to the wise words of ...
Wanna Lose Weight? Have a Toddler
"You won't be needing THIS anymore..." This may be the shortest post I ever do, but I'm so short on time. While I was having dinner today, I realized something—it's so hard to eat when you have a one year old. I don't know if Jayden is going through a growth spurt or what, but this ...
Failing to Plan? Plan to Fail
As I get older, I realize that I have to literally plan everything if I'm going to do it. I never thought I'd have to be the "planner book" type of person. I usually wing it and play things by ear. But slowly, I'm letting things slip through the cracks. Not a good look. Case and ...
Why I Don’t Watch “Scandal” or “Empire”
The title alone may have made you roll your eyes and suck your teeth at me, but hear me out. I'm not saying Scandal and Empire are horrible shows. I'm just saying I purposely choose not to watch them. Mind you, this is coming from a girl who used to give virtually every reality show at ...
Why Mexican Food is Overrated
I don't get the fascination with Mexican food. Well, let me not condemn the whole culture. I'm really just talking about Tex-Mex food. That seems to be the "no-brainer" favorite for most Texas natives. (For those of you who don't know, Tex-Mex is Mexican food with an American twist. I guess Americans don't want to ...
