Uncool

…but soooo my life right now.

Everyone Doesn’t Mean EVERYONE

I LOVE Perryann. We laugh a lot-generally at my expense. I love that when we hang out, we have fun. I would not trade these 3 minutes 29 seconds for the world. This is soooo us. The set up. New photos were taken of all of Sandals staff.  A co-worker has his new picture on FB [...]

Is Kindergarten For Her or For Me?

Gracie is going to kindergarten in the fall. I am not emotional about her going to school nor do I want to keep her a baby forever. Quite the opposite. I love my girls and I love to see them grow. Seeing who they are becoming and with such anticipation to see where they end [...]

Do You Take the Toilet Paper When You Move?

We were at a birthday party this past weekend at a house that Gracie had never been at before. It is an adorable almost “wood streets” home built in the 20’s maybe 30’s. It has charm and period architecture with cut outs and built in’s and a bathroom that has what appears to be well [...]

I Thought I Had a Picture of The Last Time I Saw Her

Workaholism or Just Too Much Social Media?

Monday Morning Coffee Table Confessions

It’s Been a Tough Two Weeks

I have not posted here in two weeks, not because I did not have the desire but because I did not have the time.  Writing here is my joy…yes, my children and my hubby are my real joy but you know what I mean. My strong moments are here on this blog. I looove it [...]

A Menu Plan At Last!!

I did it. I have always wanted to do it and I even printed out the template 8 months ago in the hopes of getting it done. But yesterday I actually did it. I made a menu plan for the week! Big deal you say? Yes to some this is no great feat but to me this [...]

Meet Joan from Uganda

Our family sponsored a girl from Uganda last year at the World Vision Experience: Aids- Step Into Africa event that came to the Grove Church in Riverisde. It was an amazing event and I was happy that Perryann, my 16 year old, experienced it. Perryann already sponsors a little girl in Guatemala named Alba Marina [...]
