My sweet Christian friend who is sharing her story of redemption and freedom from drug addiction started sharing her story through a variety of social media platforms. One of which is Periscope. I wasn't familiar with this app so I was playing around with it trying to figure out how to follow and watch her daily 2pm coffee chats. Well somehow - I swear I don't know how ... Read More »

Epic Mommy Moments
We've all had those Mommy memories that will forever be stamped in our minds. The ones we don't want to ever forget and the ones we'd pay big money to forget! Both are necessary in this journey called Motherhood. The precious memories keep us going and the hard and not fun memories make us stronger and our relationships deeper with our children. So whatever season of Motherhood ... Read More »
April Fool’s 2015 in our household
And I thought April Fool's Day was going to be a total bust this year! Sophie and I have been sick all week with the flu I think? - didn't even think you were allowed to get the flu in the Spring but apparently it's perfectly legal because we've had it since Saturday. When I realized it was April Fool's and I had no energy to be pulling a prank I was so sad. Like seriously sad ... Read More »
Embrace the strangeness!
Okay, you do not need to agree or leave any sassy comments but I'm realizing and owning that we are a strange family. Really, we are. A few examples might include and I wish were limited to the following..... In our family we're just sick enough to occassionally turn the iconic red "you're special" plate into a weapon.

Oh bless'er. She was born wanting to be a toddler and now that she's in second grade she wants to be a preteen. Oh she still plays with her dolls, dresses up her big bear and plays "pretend" but sometimes she steps into responsibility that doesn't belong to her. Like at the Super Bowl party we just had at our house. She and several other little girls were all playing ... Read More »
OMGoodness we just got another funny card!
At first glance it may not seem like a big deal. But when you know the family.....Husband is Police Chief and Wife self-describes herself as my "starched, fancy pants friend." Ha! And that is really their house but um no, that car is not theirs. They are not in the race car culture and so to have sent a Christmas card that says, "Racing through the Holidays...." is just too ... Read More »
The best Christmas card ever came in our mailbox this week
It says: "Joy to the World. Peace in Every heart. All is calm. All is bright. Finally a peaceful night." As you'll notice the kid is tied up in Christmas lights and has tape over his mouth. Oh.My.Word! We cracked up so hard at this. I don't know this boy but I know his Mama. She and I went to school together in the 11th grade. We were on the year book staff together which was ...

Two nightmares in one day
The first nightmare involved spending close to two hours wearing a paper towel in the OBGYN's office and I was not a happy camper. Grumpy and stomach growling I decided to drive through Chick-Filet on this perfectly sunny day. They are the only fast food restaurant that can successfully facilitate a triple wrapped line of cars at lunch time in just 10 minutes. I noticed there ... Read More »
