So. It’s that time. Vacation. Car Trip. Sweet Home Alabama. This is one of those things that I get mixed feelings about. I love going home to visit. Love heading back to the south [Yes. We live in Florida, which geographically is farther south than Alabama…but it’s a whole different kind of southern.] to see the […]

This is the first time I have joined in for this meme, but I thought it looked like it might be fun, so I am going to give it a shot. Sheila over at “To Love, Honor and Vaccum”  hosts it weekly and also gives some pretty fabulous and practical marriage advice. I couldn’t really say […]

Dearest Baby Boy, Should I even call you that anymore? You have grown up so much over the past year. I can not even believe it. It was this day, one year ago, that my life changed for the better. I dreamt about you, prayed for you, and thought about you from the first day […]

With Noah’s first birthday, came a lot of memories and a lot of reminiscing over the past year. I don’t doubt that I am a good mother. Because I know that I am. But, I am not the mother that I want to be. Not the mother that I could be. Not the mother God […]

[Edited to add more photo’s] I have been playing around with the photo editing software on my computer today. I downloaded paint.net for free because, lets face it, we are in an economic slump and I can’t afford to buy Photoshop. It works pretty well. Not as good as photoshop does, but it gets the […]

Jill over at Scary Mommy is having this FABULOUS little contest…she wants to know what it is that makes us [well, me in this case] “Scary Mommy’s.” Say what you want, but mom’s of any age can be scary. There is no denying it. And since the prizes are so unbelievably awesome and I like […]

I dreamed my entire life of having a family. Getting married to a “handsome prince” and having the most beautiful family in the world. It was April 19, 2008 that my “prince” and I said the I-Do’s. And it was a mere three weeks later, on May 9, 2008 that I found out that my […]

Noah had his very FIRST 1st birthday party today. We went to the local park and had cake and chips and dip with my parents and sister, and some friends from church and Josh’s work. The rain came in last night and cooled everything off, so it was in the low to mid-60’s today. It […]

The President’s Nobel Peace Prize came as no surprise to me….found then video when I googled it to read about it. Thought it was interesting. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. If you can’t get it to play here, then you can go here to view it on YouTube. Just something to think […]

I’ve heard this question asked alot. Especially to moms. “If you could go back and do things differently [whether in reference to children or to life in general], would you?” For starters, I think that’s an unfair question. 99.9% of the people that you asked that to would either say a flat out “No” they […]
