This crazy Texas weather, I tell ya! Saturday found us in t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. Monday brought ice and freezing rain, warm winter coats and hats, mittens and gloves and warm woolen socks. Yesterday saw a return to the 60’s with a cool breeze, just right for jeans and long sleeves with no jacket. This… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Layers of Gratefulness

Oops – she’s a Daisy!
As a child, I often dreamed of being a Girl Scout. We’d walk into the Sears & Roebuck Department Store and I’d see the mannequins dressed as a Girl Scout and a Brownie, and instantly I’d be filled with desire. The desire to be that girl…the one in the little brown skirt with the brown-and-white… Continue reading Oops – she’s a Daisy!
Threads of Gratitude: A Patchwork of Blessings
Today McGowen held their annual Thanksgiving Feast at school. Of course, the kindergarten lunch was crowded with parents and grandparents all there to share in their little one’s special school lunch. By third grade, the crowd had thinned out somewhat. Grandma came and shared in lunch with both Trey and Crisana and Matt was able… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: A Patchwork of Blessings

Flaggin’ and Braggin’
Just call me Proud Mama. Better make that Proud Cub Scout Den Leader Mama. Or better yet, Totally-Rocking-Best-Ever-Proud-Cub-Scout-Den-Leader-Mama. Maybe I should back up a bit. This summer, as we were planning for the year ahead (“we” meaning my TOTALLY AWESOME Assistant Den Leader and I) we decided we wanted to be more visible, more involved… Continue reading Flaggin’ and Braggin’
Threads of Gratitude – Week 3
This week has certainly been an emotional roller coaster. There is so much going on in our lives and in the world around us, with so much upheaval, that it could be difficult to find things to be grateful for. But I think it’s in times like this when we really need to focus on… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude – Week 3
