Well hi there! I made it through the first week of school. And so did my kid. But kinda barely. So the first day we showed up I told her I needed a first-day-of-school picture. This is what it looked like: Rough start. But once she saw her desk and pencil box she kinda got… Read More »
Change is underfoot. For some of us, school is just around the corner. For others, it’s around the corner thats around the corner, that’s behind the other corner. The point is, things are moving forward. Even if your school doesn’t start until September–these are the last days. The last days of summer. Hurray!!!! Wait, am… Read More »
So today’s kind of fun! I’m guest posting over at One Tough Mother talking about bathing suit season. Head over there and give ‘er a read. We’re talking bathing suits, feeling fat, and how we communicate it to our daughters. Yeeesh. Now skeeeedadddle!

I spent the weekend at Blissdom conference in Grapevine, Texas and let me just say, it was quite the good time! I have some fun things to share with you, but… Read More »
I think I pretty much know how to do everything. Ok, just the important stuff. Or, how about we settle for some of the important stuff? Fine. Have it your way. I don’t know what the heck I’m doing 94% of the time. Especially when it comes to this whole mom business. Sheesh. I know there are… Read More »

Boom. Didn’t that sound like, totally… Read More »
The only thing I have ever successfully sewn is a jumper I made for myself in 6th grade. For weeks, I labored diligently over some blue and white checked fabric. My patient sewing teacher, Mrs. Robinson, coached my clumsy hands to success. It was nothing short of a miracle. That I have never repeated such… Read More »
