One mom told me that her little girl had just been begging for the backpack straps to decorate the very morning of our party. We had planned a wonderful day at the lake celebrating our friend’s birthday and swimming. We…
Addicted much?
In church this past weekend they were talking about things we’ve made our idols. Facebook came up. Can you believe it? I can. I’m online way too much. Facebook is part of it but not all of it. What about you? Do you text at the dinner table? Play your PS3 way into the night?…
Looking at how old furniture is made is cool.
I was looking for a couch table for the wall opposite my couch. I couldn’t spend any money on it. So, I went looking in my mom’s attic. She had this sweet table that she thought would work. It’s way too small. But it’s so sweet. We think my uncle L.J. made it, probably…

Can you help a friend out?

That is a long time. In 19 years we have gone from plug in the wall phones to portable cell phones. We’ve gone from no internet at all to great internet and lots of families with the ability to work at home. 19 years is also, coincidentally, the amount of time that I have been…
I feared for my own life…
Yes, I did it. I have no one to blame but myself. I let my son drive my car home the other night with me in it. It was not pretty. Matter of fact, I came home and my legs hurt from braking the invisible brake so hard. lol Oh, the joys of teenagers. He’s…
