Puppies & Parades
All that to say, we got a puppy. It just happened and now we are all in love with him. He is so little and fun and playful and happy and just what we needed.

Well my big week of driving kids all over the place is over. I am not sure how I survived it except to say that I ate my way through the week, gaining 3# and wondering how other moms do it all year long.
This past Tuesday I taught a local class about using essential oils for the summer. Since we aren’t all geographically connected, I wanted to share here too. I’d hate for you all to miss this great information! It must be set free!
I never, ever got smart enough to prepare for this phase of my parenting journey. This is the “always-in-the-car” season of my life, and along with it I am noticing the spread in my backside and my very pale skin.
Last week a sweet friend shyly whispered to me, “Can I ask you something delicate? While you were at Disney World, how did you keep your thighs from rubbing raw?”
What do you get when you cross a whirlwind trip to Ft Worth with a woman who has been detoxing from Disney and sugar? I think you can imagine. It’s not pretty.
A high level of activity over the weekend has put me into a state of joyful exhaustion. We have been building toward this weekend for the past 18 years.
A few years ago I shared my friend Martha’s great recipe for pretzel dogs. These have become a family favorite and we make them every year on July 4th.
We have been working in the yard for the past few days getting ready for a big party tomorrow. Two of the girls are graduating so we are having a small ceremony with family and close friend
It’s the age old question asked since the cavemen chiseled wheels out of enormous rocks and attached them to sticks: WHY does driving all day make you SO tired?!
