Southern Dreams

by Leave a Comment

I miss my southern Mamaw that I would call in the morning to interpret my dreams. I don’t believe in all that hocus-pocus but her confident answers always made me laugh. She would dream she was catching fish and she would call us all, one by one, and ask if we were pregnant. We would […]

I just answered a phone call on the home phone, (no one calls the home phone) “Hello, is Peter around?” Says a GROWN man. Me, “Uh…yeah. One moment please.” “Peteeeerrre, you have a phone call.” Me to man in phone, “May I ask who is calling?” Him, “This is Paul.” Oh, heck no. Who is […]

An Invitation

by Leave a Comment

An invitation. Hey friends. I am approaching my “bloggerversary” and I am looking at some old posts and I came across one about the birth of my blog. How did I become a “mom blogger”? Would you share in the comments why you write on Facebook or why you blog and share with friends and […]

Coffee B-eaches! Mama Needs a Spa Weekend!

by Leave a Comment

What’s does it mean if you habitually make coffee and forget to put the actual coffee grounds in, resulting in finding a pot of hot water in the morning? Asking for a friend. Jim also is trying to diagnose me with SOMETHING. Whatever my “illness” it only flares every couple of weeks. I call it, […]

This Place is Possessed, Halloween Possessed. Halloween Decorating Ideas

by Leave a Comment

Houston, we have a problem. The smoke detector battery is dying. It keeps making that horrible beeping sound. That loud sound keeps making ALL my Halloween scenes go off at the same time. Imagine three electronic cats screeching, a skeleton head singing “I aint got no body…” (David Lee Roth and one of my personal […]

My New Silver Country Outfitter Boots

by Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago I had an event to go to at our country club. Now if you have been reading on here for any time you know I am notorious for falling or making some kind of fool of myself at these things. I am sooooo sick of country club clothes. You know […]

Funny Family Tuesday

by Leave a Comment

This is funny to anyone who has ever lived with little Tasmanian Devils. Our three boys trash my husbands workshop. It is as if you put a room in a dryer and run it. So basically if they go in there that room will look like any room the boys inhabit for more than 20 […]

Recovering Emotionally From River’s Carnivorous Seaweed

by 15 Comments

Our friends all learned to never go canoeing with me and if they do they better be faster than I am in a kayak.

The teenagers all learned that I won’t baby them, as I am an equal opportunity canoe flipper.

FYI, if you ever decide, (after flipping everyone’s canoes) to float the rest of the way down the river next to your kayak so as to foil anyone’s attempt to “get even”…DON’T!
