I thoroughly enjoyed my blogging vacation last week. I had the chance to tackle a few things that I’d been putting off for too long because I would rather have been blogging, but there were some things that I still didn’t get around to… I did revamp and redesign my entire blog during my break. […]

I managed to take (and EDIT!) a ton of photos from the last week or so yesterday, so I have lots and lots of fun photography challenges to link up to today! First, my entry for last weeks challenge with Faith @ Simplicity. Her challenge was “pets” and since I now have a pet, I […]

I’m having a hard time falling back into blogging. Not that I didn’t miss the blog world…because I did…very, very much. What I didn’t miss is the time consumption. In case you missed it, that was a major reason that I decided to take a much needed blogging vacay last week: to organize my time […]

I have No Mom Talk Monday scheduled to go up tomorrow morning first thing…but because of the significance of this event in American History, I want to make sure that I document and remember (for the sake of my son and any future children) the emotions that I’m feeling right now as I sit here […]

I feel like I’ve been absent from the blog world this week. Despite cranking out brand new posts every day, I just don’t feel like I’ve been around. Not sure what’s going on. Maybe it was my mentality earlier this week that I needed to start taking some time away from the internet and the […]

I’ve always heard that there was a significant and special bond that is shared between a boy and his dog. Apparently, it’s a pretty popular concept. Movies like Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows, Lassie (though that was a TV show before it was a movie) and Homeward Bound depict major male character (typically […]

Sometimes, it’s hard for me to fully grasp the passing of time. One year ago today, my husband started his would-be eight month journey through A-School. We started on our long journey of separation, anxiety, trust building, goal achieving and personal growth. Three years ago today, my husband and I stood in front of our […]
