Well…if I can’t say anything else about our travels over the past few weeks, I can say this: this blog has been written all over the place. I’ve blogged in Florida, I’ve blogged in Alabama, Tennessee, Nebraska, Missouri, Seattle, and now I’m blogging in Alaska [which will be a pretty prevalent thing for the next […]

Despite how much I love my son, he drives me insane. To say that my child never did anything wrong, would be insane…and an outright lie. To pretend that it doesn’t annoy the you-know-what out of me when my son throws a tantrum would also be a lie. So. Rather than pretending any of the […]

Tomorrow we leave behind the “Lower 48” and head to our new home in Alaska. Tomorrow we get to see how well our little guy handles air travel. Tomorrow we have to try to haul 3 suitcases, 1 garment bag, 1 Sea Bag, a backpack, a computer bag, a purse, and two kiddie backpacks into […]

My lovely, lovely friend Jhen of From Here to Eternity has started up her own photo hop and [though I’m a day late] I wanted to join in and play along! I am hoping to get caught up on photos and life in general at some point this century so that I can get back […]

Whew. This post is coming to you from Seattle, Washington! We have finally reached our final “lower 48” destination and are scheduled to fly to our new home on Thursday! The journey has been amazing! The sights were beautiful and the scenery was beyond words! I know that I’m several days behind on letting you […]

Okay, I promise I’m not going to name all of my cross-country drive posts after songs.

We met at Starbucks first thing yesterday {Thursday} morning […]

Tuesday Evening: 10:20 pm That’s about how long I have to write this post… …just a moment. I’m surrounded by clothes, shoes, blankets, and un-endless amounts of random junk possessions attempting to finish all of the packing for our journey. I’ve been up and at em’ since before 7:00 this morning running errands and attempting […]

Happy 2011, everyone! I hope you all had a safe and exciting New Year’s Eve/Day. Me? I was asleep as the New Year rolled in and spent New Year’s Day eating {again…didn’t I do enough of that at Christmas?} and enjoying some time with family. Hard to believe we will be telling them goodbye in […]

Thanks so much for all of your thoughts and input on this series. Blogging is something that takes time. It can take months-maybe even a few years-to grow your blog enough to ever be considered a “professional.” There are a few mommy bloggers that reached their pinnacle through unfortunate family circumstances, and then for others […]

Welcome back to Part Three of the Blogging Effectively with Integrity series that I’ve put together. In case you missed it, you can find the Series Introduction here, Part One here, and Part Two here. The response to this series has been a little more overwhelming than I thought. I’ve had readers emailing and tweeting […]
