You know sometimes you just gotta rare back and laugh your head off. And last night we got to do just that as a family. Nothing fancy for dinner but we used our Christmas china and ate in the dining room. After dinner we tried to play a new to us board game - "Clue". Whatever! That game was so stinking hard to figure out that we played our own version of it that lasted about ... Read More »

Church People Can Have Fun Too!
Church People can have fun too! And my church is proof. This year our church gathered once again for an open house in our home and we had a blast. Some really funny things happened this year. Some planned and some not so much. Like the coat rack crashing and all the coats being left in a pile on the floor. As people left they had to dig through a pile of coats to find ... Read More »
The hard stuff I’m dealing with right now – the stuff I don’t care to talk about.
So here's the deal and the low down about the stuff I don't care to talk about but it's a big part of my life right now. I want to remain transparent on this blog and not just in the good times. I'm having surgery on August 22nd to have 20" of my colon removed and resectioned. I have ischemic colitis as a result of a recurring volvulus. That means my colon has been twisting ... Read More »

The Makings of a Waffle House Christmas
Hello family that is addicted to Waffle House! That's most of us right there. My Mom has a neighbor who is a photographer and he took a family shot and did some candid Waffle House pictures for us. He was wonderful. If you're in the Atlanta area and need a good photographer check Gibbs Frazeur out. This was the sight at our family Christmas party a few days before Christmas. ... Read More »
Belly Laughter
Usually family formed belly laughter is just that - for the family - and just like pulling out old home videos is boring to other people so are their family belly laughter stories. But one reason this blog exists is for family memory preservation so I'll share it anyways. The weekly belly laugher comes in the form of a mispronounced Science term. I'm explaining to my son how ... Read More »
How we handle sales calls at dinner time – don’t hate us
Maybe you've been there before. You just finished cooking dinner and gathered the family at the table which is a feat in itself. You've prayed and now you're ready to put that hot bite of paleo cauliflower casserole (that's a joke for those who don't know me) into your mouth and the phone rings. Honestly, I'd be relieved if a phone call interrupted a bit of paleo anything but ... Read More »
