I’ve been popping in and out of Facebook all day today and an overwhelming number of posts are about looking back on the year we’ve just lived and looking forward to the one which starts tomorrow. That makes sense what with today being the last day of 2015 and tomorrow being the first day of […]
There’s No Place Like Home (unless that place has WiFi)
Home. We’re home! We’re finally home! We’ve been reunited with our Annie-girl and we’re all settling into this new forever, one box at a time.For the most part, I’ve felt more peaceful and less electric than I have in months, and it’s amazing how quickly my body has adjusted to losing the feeling that every […]
More
I realize we’re nearly two months done with 2015, so the timeliness of my word of the year is, well, not timely at all. But it’s still 2015, so I’m giving myself a wide berth to do what I want. My word for the year is MORE. And it came to me while watching The Little […]
What I’m Thankful For – Heart of Haiti
Thanksgiving is upon us once again. Soon we’ll be rocking our stretch pants and lounging in food comas while we digest copious amounts of turkey and pie, the drone of parades and football games (or really, really bad movies) in the background. We’ll be crazy thankful for leggings and comfy sweaters and naps. Some of […]
Signing Our Life Away
When you buy a house, you sign your life away at the closing. The joke you’ll hear before mountains of papers start flying your direction is that you better get your hand good and warmed up because it’s about to be put to work. You’ll spend the next 45 minutes to an hour, maybe longer, […]
Project Linus and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters
My kids and I are fans of blankets. Like, really, really big fans. Joshua has three on his bed at all times, Emma has two, I still have my baby blanket, and the three of us are often snuggled under the same blanket on the couch. Or we’re each under our own blankets. Why am […]
Down By The River
The kids and I took a little Labor Day road trip to visit my family down by the Georgia coast. Saturday we had a big family cookout. (So much food.) It was good to get away for a few days and see aunts and uncles and cousins we don’t see very often. It felt good […]
In Memoriam
My daddy died on Tuesday night. Peacefully. Surrounded by his children. I held his hand as he passed. I was not a Daddy’s girl. Far from it. But I loved my dad. And I know that he loved me. He didn’t have to be my dad. He met and married the woman who came with […]
Under the Sea: The Georgia Aquarium
Dan was out of town for three days this week on business, Emma had a couple of bad nights, and Joshua’s still refusing to nap. Basically, I want to be Rip Van Winkle and sleep for 100 years. Even after two relatively decent nights of sleep and an excellent nap yesterday. I’ll sleep when my […]
Days like these
Today was hard. Today I was not a shining example of how to win at motherhood. In fact, if this was a game, I lost miserably. And days like these are happening more often than not now that Joshua has decided he’s not napping anymore. This not napping? It will be the death of whatever […]
