I wrote a post last week (or so) about how pictures tell as story…yet not. There’s always a story that the picture doesn’t tell. Maybe it’s because a picture only shows so much and the real story (or at least another layer or the story) is happening outside the frame. Maybe that was intentional or…
So…eco-friendly kitchen stuff. Here we are. I have never been what anyone would describe as crunchy or granola. As a matter of fact, most self-proclaimed crunchy granola people get on my nerves. There’s just something…I don’t know…sanctimonious about telling everyone how crunchy and granola you are. Now. I’m not a wasteful person who hates the…
So…I’m doing this 30-day blogging challenge. I supposed I should get around to writing an actual post about that, explaining why, but today isn’t that day. I’m taking it back to old school blogging (which is one of the reasons I raised my hand to do this 30-day challenge, but again, today isn’t the day…
We are at a family camp in Missouri this week. Camp No Limits is a camp for limb different kids. It’s a traveling camp held in several locations around the United States each year, meaning the core staff and programs are the same but the camp (and campers) vary based on location. The camp we’re…
Disclaimer: I’m about as far from a crunchy mommy as it’s possible to be. Case in point, I buy Lunchables and I feed them to my kids. All that aside, I swear by my all natural, kid safe insect repellent. One of my kids is a mosquito magnet. To add insult to injury, he reacts…
I have mixed feelings about aging. On one hand, getting older means I’m moving toward my goal of living a long and happy life and watching my children and their children (and maybe my children’s children’s children) grow up. On the other hand, I’m not always at peace with my aging body. In my head,…
San Antonio is often referred to as “Military City USA.” We have military installations and all branches of the service living and working in our city, so seeing military members and their families out and about in our community is pretty commonplace. We do a lot as a community to recognize our military but last…
This is a story about the day anxiety won. Sometimes, it wins despite my best efforts. Unless you know me very (very, very, very well) you probably don’t know I have anxiety and you probably don’t know I’m a total introvert. I’m not necessarily great at masking my introverted personality but I have always held…
I’ve always enjoyed dressing my kids up for Easter and spring in general but it seems like those cute outfits for Easter Sunday or the big egg hunt always go to waste after the fact. We’re not really dress-up kind of people…once in awhile, my husband and I will fancy up and do something fun…
It’s springtime and your thoughts are probably turning to spring cleaning. Ha – just kidding. My thoughts never really turn to cleaning…it’s one of those things I do because I have to or that I get around to when the dust and the clutter get out of control. I swore to myself that nothing would change…
