While I’m sleeping…….
My sister came up from Atlanta this weekend to help us out on the home front since my Mom had to go back for some appointments. She has been so helpful to us and the kids love her being here. She took Sophie to McD's and had some special girl time with her. Then they went peony picking. *Insert high-pitched little girl squeal. I now am gazing at them as I type. Pink flowers ...

Mornings in our household aren't boring. Mitchell wakes up full throttle bounding down the stairs exclaiming, "I'm alive!!!!" I'm not sure if he's surprised or just excited to still be living and breathing. Either way it does my soul good to hear his energy and excitement proving he is indeed alive and well. Yes, very alive. This week he suited up in frying pan armor? I guess ... Read More »

I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. It's because of pictures like these. It looks so simple. Like all you do is go out in your front yard and pluck a few magnolia branches and then dig out your first grader's red paint and whalah you have festive Pinterest leaves. Nah. It ain't so. This is more like it…... Thinly painted (even though it's 6 coats) and dried ... Read More »
