It was about a week and a half before Christmas and we were to be leaving shortly for my niece’s wedding. A few of us had absolutely nothing appropriate to wear to a wedding. Normally I avoid shopping anywhere with all five kids let alone mall shopping, but there was nothing to be done but… [continue reading]
Keep the fun in marriage!
My engineer, I love him. I think we balance each other out. Sometimes he pulls harder his way–learning, studying, documentaries, museums. And sometimes I pull harder my way–fun, laughter, movies, theme parks. In the middle we’re a great balance. He was pulling pretty hard for some boring heady activity. That’s when I decided to lay… [continue reading]
What I failed to learn at Blog Elevated
The latest blog conference I attended was Blog Elevated. I had had a great time in Galveston the year before so with the conference right here in Grapevine I had to be there. Being the introvert that I am, I get as nervous for these events as I get excited. Me…lots of people…something embarrassing is… [continue reading]
That man–How he makes me laugh!
A sweet lady we had recently met invited my husband over to her home to give him a bicycle for the children. With five kids ages 3-14 if you’re giving anything kid related away, we can probably use it! She wrote her name and phone number on a small card and said to just call… [continue reading]

This year is was fun to meet up with a friend I went to Bible college. … [continue reading]
The Potluck
From the time I was a little kid I have always loved the shock factor. Saying or doing something unexpected is great fun. In the same way I find great humor when I am the recipient whether it’s an intentional act or not sometimes. I tell you this story because I think it is hysterical. … [continue reading]
Appearance Does Matter
It had been a horrible day. I woke up late and jumped out of bed planning on getting started with my morning, but instantly knew something was wrong. I was dizzy, my neck was stiff, I had a horrible head ache and just felt all together bad. I went back to bed and didn’t get… [continue reading]
The favorite Daddy
I took three of the kids to Chick-Fil-A one afternoon for lunch. The other two girls were out doing something fun and I felt like treating the others kids too. Chick-Fil-A was their choice. We loved receiving coupons to go back for Chick-n-Minis! I always try to talk to the kids when we sit down… [continue reading]
What happens when we eat out…
Last weekend Jason and I took the kids to one of those fun family gaming restaurants. We had never been there before, but there was a grand opening in our area and we had received some great coupons for games, so we decided to try it out. We’re always looking for great, clean, family entertainment…. [continue reading]
