November 13, 2015 Okay, it’s November. Time for the obligatory pumpkin recipe. I suppose that over the years, I’ve often neglected pumpkin because I have an unwritten rule that desserts should contain chocolate. Therefore, the pumpkin pies and pumpkin rolls were overlooked. Now, in my maturity, I see their…
November 10, 2015 I stared at her from my seat. Flawless makeup. Hair that had made its way through a flat iron. Maybe she had even perfected the art of blow drying with a brush. A feat I have never managed to conquer. Jewelry accented her fall sweater. I sat there with my…
November 5, 2015 We’ve kinda been in the dark around here this week. And it’s not just the daylight savings time change. Although the premature darkness hasn’t helped the situation. No, we’ve lost a light. The light fixture in the older boys’ room suffered one final blow and came down beyond…

October 27, 2015 It was nearly midnight when the game ended. But as the clock struck 12, nothing changed back to a pumpkin in this little fairy tale. Panthers 27. Eagles 16. Our team’s record shined across the screen. 6 and 0 baby. Wrapped up our weekend of competition with a win. …
October 25, 2015 Can you believe that we are entering the last week of October? I’m really sad to see it go. It, along with its neighbor, November make up one of my favorite times of the year. Trees losing their leaves bring out the sweaters and an extra blanket…
October 23, 2015 You know those people who can do anything? The multi-talented ones who can seem to pull off any task with ease? I am not one. But you know what’s better than being one? Marrying one. I mean, combine that talent with an uber-helpful personality, and bam: gold….
October 22, 2015 I’m all about comfort. Comfort food. Comfortable clothes. Comfortable couch to sit on while wearing my comfortable clothes, eating my comfort food. You get it. Seems that I am passing on my love for all things comfortable to at least one of my kiddos. When walking in…
