I did it, friends. I got The Founder of BlogU, Stephanie Giese, to sit down with me and chat about the upcoming conference. I can’t promise you we’re funny, but I can promise that she is as adorable and put-together in person as she appears. This girl is ON HER GAME. I also made her […]
Get Your Groove on with Sparky
My family is in a Relationship. A serious one, with the fire company. This is A-Okay with me. You see, we live in suburbia, where all the firemen are volunteers. Hardcore, solid guys and gals who work incredibly hard to serve us all solely out of the goodness of their hearts. I will never forget […]
Spring Flings
What is that?! That furry green stuff all over the ground, peeking out from under the snow? I have vague memories of the stuff from a time long ago, a time before a frozen tundra sentenced us to countless hours staring at our kitchen floor covered with playdoh shards. A time before we begged our […]
These Boots Were Made for Lovin’
Did you know that in Oklahoma it is illegal to wear your boots to bed? True story. While hitherto, I may have howled over the ridiculous of such a law, I’m now giving these mid-western legislators the benefit of the doubt. You see, I have now witnessed firsthand the effects of boots on a marriage. […]
Let the Little Cuties Run Wild
We have a problem here, folks. My 2 yr. old daughter is not yet potty-trained (I know, I’ll wait while you gasp in the horror over this grave parental short-coming). She also never stops moving. Ever. Even in her sleep, the adorable young thing thrashes about with a vigor known to wildcats the world over […]
Mom and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Oh, Alisa. You are so very real and so have my heart; have I mentioned how blessed I am to have had you become a real friend who truly “gets it”? Readers, go read up and give this momma some needed lovin’ for ACING IT OUT. And Alisa, I’m on stand-by with the coffee, tp, […]
Put Down the Personality Test, Meredith
February has adios-ed itself, praise God. Ice storms, deaths, power outages, rough school decisions, sickness…a whole bag of not-fun. There was good stuff too, for sure–most notably the announcement that I made it in a book, but out of all these events, I am pulling out one experience and slapping the label “LIFE ALTERING” on […]
Need to Know
Two years ago Sunday my mother exited this earth. I’d be a fool to not recognize all the growing I’ve done in this time and all the ways my family has been blessed despite this heartbreak, but…I MISS HER. I make up fantasies about her, making her into something she never had a chance to […]
For the Love of the Boy
I was raised as a gal’s gal. In a family of two girls, my gentle father didn’t have much of a shot at perpetuating a rough and tumble boys’ world. I happily enjoyed a house filled with multiple cans of hairspray and thought the whole world watched Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman on Saturday nights. Wait, […]
I Just Want to Be Alone–WITH The Bees
Friends, I eked my way into another book! The title of this book, I Just Want to Be Alone, is so gloriously appropriate, I considered ending my post by just sharing it’s name with you. I think it speaks for itself?? But then I remembered this was a prime opportunity for me to lament about […]
