As you know, I don’t run. So today, I didn’t run another 5K. I didn’t show up at the Cooper Aerobics Center in McKinney with my family, and I most certainly didn’t meet these four other wonderful ladies there: I didn’t have my shuffle all loaded, charged and ready to go. I didn’t get… Continue reading Off and Running

Into Africa, Part Deaux: Day 2
DATELINE: Entebbe, Uganda. 11:04 P.M. Gulu time. That’s 3:04 P.M. CST for those of you keeping score at home. We made it to Africa! It’s been a full 24 hours since we left American soil. It’s hard to believe, but we’re actually HERE!!
Spring is in the Air!
Yep, it’s officially springtime in Texas. The signs are undeniable: it’s light until nearly 8 P.M. Daytime temps are consistently above 70. The lawns are greening up. The pear trees are blooming. Everything and everyone is covered in a nice hazy shade of pollen. I even saw my first bluebonnets of the season in the… Continue reading Spring is in the Air!

From Six Flags to No Flags
We have had a great summer enjoying all the fun that the Dallas metroplex has to offer. And when Charity and Noah decided to make the trek north for a quick visit before the start of school, we knew we would have to take them for a day of “More Flags, More Fun†at Six… Continue reading From Six Flags to No Flags
I’m such a card…one that needs to be dealt with
Warning: this is a brag post. Shameless, unabashed, over-the-top bragging. Maybe even a little boastful. But I’m okay with that. Because it’s about a card. Not just any card, but a card that I made. And you see, I don’t make cards. It’s just one of the quirks that makes me so lovable. But I… Continue reading I’m such a card…one that needs to be dealt with
Celebrating Freedom
It’s become a yearly ritual ’round these here parts to celebrate July 4th…well, on July 3rd. Yes, you read that right. We do the fireworks, the picnic with friends, the hanging out in the heat all a day early. Why do we do this?  No, it’s not because my husband’s an Aggie. It’s all Addison’s… Continue reading Celebrating Freedom
Camp Mom: Week 3
It’s that time of year again, friends! Time to go blueberry picking at Bailey’s Berry Patch! This year, we invited our scout friends to join us for a day of “berry†delicious fun! We loaded up the car with kids, coolers, and cold water bottles, slathered on the sunscreen, and made the hour-long trek to… Continue reading Camp Mom: Week 3
A Daisy of a Day
Our weekend madness continues. Between Six Flags, an ice cream party, a birthday party, a baseball game, and church we have hardly had time to be at home in the past 72 hours. Sure enough, after church today, we headed over to Finch Park for an end-of-year party and awards ceremony for Crisana’s daisy scout… Continue reading A Daisy of a Day
Celebrate!
We must be getting old. This is the second year in a row we’ve attended a graduation for one of our children. This year, it was Crisana’s turn. Again. She graduated from kindergarten! The teachers had planned a whole morning of celebration for the students. It all began with a program in the gym. The… Continue reading Celebrate!
