No More Mini-Van Mama…

It’s a new era in our house. Well, maybe it’s more accurate to say that it’s a revived old era. Either way, I am no longer a “mini van mama.”  We traded in our 2003 Ford Windstar mini van yesterday and came home with a “sangria red” Ford Explorer. This is not the greatest photo, [...]

Essential Oils

Several months ago I discovered Young Living Essential Oils. My friend Christi had been telling me about them for years, literally, and I finally tried the oils last fall. I am blown away at how wonderful oils are and how great they have been for our family. Let me tell you more…
Ever since Mariana was [...]

Meet Ed, the Snow Guy

We wound up getting more than a dusting of snow today. Not MUCH more than a dusting, but enough to make Macey want to get out and play in it a bit. Mickey can never resist playing in snow either, so the two of them set out this afternoon to enjoy what little snow we [...]

Countdown to Spring…

18 more days. I can do this. 18 more days until spring. Two and a half weeks. COME ON, SPRING!!
I am not normally so “weather fixated”, but it’s been a cold winter by Georgia standards and this Southern girl is more than ready for some good ole sunshine. Today it’s cold (again) and we have [...]

Yikes!

I have been such a blog slacker again. No excuses. Yes, life is busy. Yes, the whole holiday season (Thanksgiving through New Years) was super busy. Yes, I’m on the GO a lot. Still, I would like to be better about attending to my blog. I need to find a way to make it a [...]

Happy October!!

Okay, who can believe that it’s already October?! Seriously. This year is FLYING by at the speed of light. The years definitely seem to get faster the older I get. I guess that’s true of most of us, right? I just can’t get over that today is October 1st because it seems like it was [...]

Wake Up, Blog!!

My poor blog. If it had feelings, I’m sure it would feel abandoned. And, for good reason, right? I know I haven’t posted in ages. I don’t mean to NOT post, but days just get so busy lately. Between school(s), PTA, gym, church, etc. I am on the go a lot. It’s just crazy busy. [...]

Our Week So Far…

I really need to update properly – meaning WITH PICTURES – very soon. In the meantime, I will stick to bullet points to tell about our great week so far.
Macey started first grade on Monday. She absolutely loves it! She has great teachers and is already enjoying first grade very much!
Macey also loves riding the [...]

Well…Hello, August!

My goodness! August has arrived already. Does this seem surreal to anyone else? I seriously feel that summer has just flown by. It doesn’t seem real to me that school has been out for two months already and is VERY close to starting back again. Wow. We have had an incredible summer and have had [...]

Six Years…

Six years ago today, a lifelong dream of mine came true. I became a mommy. All my life I had dreamed about becoming a mommy. I prayed to be a mom and always knew it was the calling of my heart. On July 1, 2003 that prayer was fulfilled when Macey was born.
I’ll never forget [...]
