Last week was our spring break here in Memphis, TN. Now that the girls are older and both have more patience for car rides as well as more interest in seeing and learning new things, we decided to take a road trip. To Atlanta! It was 6.5 hours from door-to-door, and that included 3 stops….

What Spring Means to Me
There’s a short period of time here in Memphis that we experience true spring. It tends to go from “winter” to “80+ degrees with 90%+ humidity” in a matter of days Even though it happens every year, this season in particular makes me miss home. For all the “joys” of spring, there are some less-than-joyous…
The One Where I Try to Be Stylish
I’ve been trying to make a conscious effort this year to jazz up my wardrobe. Nothing drastic, but maybe some new shoes, a few pairs of earrings (besides the studs I wear day in and day out), and attempts to fix my hair every once in a while. When my most recent Zappos box arrived…
At This Very Moment: 2/20/12
To quote my idol, Ferris Bueller: Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Every once in a while, I have the cognizant thought that I need to mentally record how the girls are right at this very moment. And it is with that…
This photo is not doctored in any way
This was the hose in my backyard. I feel fortunate to have even caught it on camera. It’s so surreal and freaky, yet totally, completely awesome. Here’s my frozen hose from a different view. Have you ever found ice that seems to have frozen mid-air? This post is part of #iPPP (iPhone Photo Phun), where…

How you name a dog
While I haven’t previously formally announced it, we adopted a rescue pup the Saturday after Thanksgiving. You might be wondering why we chose to do that. Yes, Jack is fine and still kickin’ it at 10.5 yrs old. But when you ask your husband a question like this: “Are you SURE we are done having…
Our Mini Kitchen Remodel
We somewhat-remodeled our kitchen recently. Nothing major in the sense that the layout remains unchanged, the appliances are still the same and the cabinets stayed put. But the changes were big enough to “pack a punch”. Because we actually live in this house, I wasn’t going to pretend like our counters are always cleaned off…
Damn You Autocorrect, BBCD-style
How apropos that an #iPPP post includes an image from an iPhone autocorrect “incident”? This happened a few weeks ago, and every time I read Craig’s line – “Honks I found it” – I still totally crack up. On a different note, I wrote a letter to an over-the-top braggy mom which is part of…
My Word of the Year: Discomfort
As far as Words of the Year go, my selection probably doesn’t strike you as a particularly positive nor hopeful one. However, as I reflect back on my blogging and social media journey, and also look to the future, I find “discomfort” to be my perfectly joyful bliss. To me, discomfort means pushing yourself beyond…
