These are my peeps. My homies. I know they’re all white. They’re still my bros. Every Sunday night we have a gang in our crib. Fellow Christians that long for deeper relationships. More love from the ‘hood. I love these people. There’s a whole other group that comes on Wednesday nights….I love them too! I…
It’s funny. For the past couple of days I have been a little tortured. The break-in of my van keeps running over and over in my mind. At first I had a clear memory of putting the GPS on the floor before I got out of the car. But as time passed I started to…
If you want to have a big adventure, here’s what you do…. 1. Put 8 women in your 15 passenger van and drive them to San Antonio to eat on the Riverwalk for one of their birthdays. (You can use your GPS to find your way). I don’t recommend The Republic of Texas restaurant 2….
As you probably have figured out by now….I’m a little OCD. It’s sad I know. I know what you’re thinking….just make it stop. Come on, admit it. You think I should be able to drown out and ignore the noises and messes and tapping-tapping-tapping-TAPPING….oh. Sorry. There I go again. The quirks (yes, I call them…
Oops! I’m sorry I’m so late in telling you who won my ClickinMoms giveaway. I did draw early this morning, but then I got to cleaning out the storage building, which I thought wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But most of the kids were helping and when I looked out there was our…
You know the phrase….”When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” Well what do you do when life gives you beef….and lots of it? My two (count ’em….two) upright freezers are completely packed with cuts of beef in all shapes and sizes. Really, you’d think we were kings and queens around here. On Sunday night we…
I love taking pictures. Oh! I have so much to learn. So much to glean from the experts. One of my favorite places to go to learn about photography and Photoshop is clickinmoms.com. They are a group of photographers, both professional and amateur, that share their wisdom and knowledge of photography. You have to subscribe,…
If you know me at all (and sadly for you, you know me better than you ever wanted to) then you know I LOVE me some fall decorations. Really, I love changing from one season to another…. Fall goes into Christmas. Christmas morphs into winter. Winter to Valentine’s Day. To spring. To summer. And back…
“Mom, what should I do with this sweater? It was a hand me down from older sister. I don’t want it anymore and neither of the younger sisters wants it.” It does have a stain on the front, so we can’t take it to the thrift store. Hmmm…..I have been looking for some new winter…
It’s time to take another family portrait. Well, past time really. The last real family portrait we took was ten years (and three kids) ago. We did take a casual one right after the baby was born. He’s two now. Seriously, look at this group…..don’t they require a professional touch? So I called upon my…
