Listen To Your Mother: Atlanta; The Edge of Glory

April 27, 2014

I keep trying to put into words the magic and warmth and love I’ve experienced this Listen To Your Mother: Atlanta weekend and I keep finding that it’s a really, really hard thing to do. This weekend was exciting, terrifying, exhilarating, heartbreaking, tear-inducing, laugh-inducing, crazy-amazing, happy-making goodness. In the months leading up to this, our fearless […]

Listen To Your Mother! No, Really!

April 16, 2014

I had a wicked rant brewing in my head earlier today and I just can’t post it now because YOU GUYS! LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER! No really. That’s a thing you should definitely do is listen to your mother. And another thing you should definitely do is come and see Listen To Your Mother: Atlanta […]

Deck the Halls

December 1, 2013

There’s something about the holiday season that just makes me happy. It’s weird. It’s like I can smell the cheer and good will in the air or something. Since the turkey has been properly respected, we dragged out our decorations yesterday and hunted down the perfect tree from the garden center at Lowe’s and trimmed […]

Emma The Observer

November 19, 2013

Today was just Tuesday. Emma and I dropped Joshua off at school and then made our way back to the house. I poured a cup of coffee and looked into the office and decided to hang the curtains. I gathered the step-ladder and the drill. I rounded up the measuring tape and a pencil. She […]

The Kind Of Mom I Wish I Was

October 11, 2013

You know when your morning starts off on the wrong foot and you’re certain the entire day is shot because of it? That happened this morning. Joshua and Emma woke up at 6 and it was immediately clear that they had alllllllllllll the energy. (How do kids do that? How do they wake up going […]

Down By The River

September 3, 2013

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 […]

31 letters 31 Weeks

August 19, 2013

In an attempt to feel sort of normal and get life closer to the track again, I sat down at our hand-me-down dining room table last Monday morning with a cup of coffee and a good pen to write and mail out 4 more letters for the #31letters31weeks “campaign.” I almost hate calling this a […]

Got To Get You Into My Life

July 30, 2013

I’m old enough to remember the beginning of the Internet. Like, the old-school whooshing and whirring and buzzing and beeping sent across the home phone line. The home phone line which someone would inevitably pick up, knocking me offline and forcing me to start over. I remember bulletin boards. And chat rooms. I know what […]

A great day

June 6, 2013

Today was a great day. There’s been a lot of not great around here this week. Cranky kids and a cranky mom and we were all just cranky. “Grumpos,” as Joshua has taken to calling us. And he was right. But not today. Today was the kind of day my heart needed. The kind of […]

Lucky Number Seven

May 28, 2013

It’s been seven years since I stepped into the sunlight on an unusually blistering afternoon in May wearing a white dress that weighed what felt like 20 pounds. Seven years since we said “I Do” in front of friends and family and then ate cake and drank punch and drove off toward our shared future. […]
