camp carpet

I didn’t know our home could be so fun.  I’m talking to business planners about turning it into a resort for families because it’s been so cool over the last seven days.  Our small tub coverts to a pool I found out, we have  small animal habitats that convert to a mini-zoo and I can [...]

Tulips for my heart: a vunerable post

If my eyes need beauty to stimulate me, how much more does my heart need something extrodinary to come and heal it from the cares of this world?

We are overcomers.  Our families histories have a few speed bumps, or maybe potholes would be a better term.  In only two generations our combined families host holes [...]

the sweet tea bond

At the end of a long, exausting week I’m nearly at the end of myself.  My emotions are generally putty and can be stretched silly and show none the less for it.

While on a little road trip I see a billboard on the distant horizon that reads:
“natuaral gas gets you sizzeling faster”  um well I guess if you say so.
What funny signs/sayings  have you seen?

Music Mondays: love songs

Today has been one of those I’d rather be anywhere than here days.  For no reason other than my house is trainwrecked from major remodeling this week, and the weather is beautiful, and I have some I’m suffocating in my home feelings.
I would rather be at the grammys right now with George Clooney.  I wouldn’t [...]

Parent university: personal time

I was so enthralled with my new hair cut I nearly forgot:  it’s parent university. (Isn’t it cool I can now link like that?  thanks mc)
On the topic of personal time and how to get some. 
I really appreciated what true vyne wrote.    Make sure you check out her post.
There used to be a day when [...]
