I have 47 posts swirling in my head. But I’ve been hamstrung this week. A few snarky emails will do that to a committed people pleasing girl. Once in a while, it seems I will inevitably strike at a nerve. I will say something and either the way I say it or the content of [...]

My mother has many charming qualities but one of my favorites is the way she says Italian (Eye-talian) and Hawaii (Hiii-wah-ya). I think I’ll make it my personal goal to make sure she says those two words every time I see her. It may be tricky but it’s too cute to pass up. Just another [...]

I’m finally joining my own party. I had one of those long productive days that have you saying at 8pm, ”Is this the first time I’ve sat down all day?” The girls and I didn’t finish school until 5pm and I cooked and cleaned and decorated all day in between teaching/facilitating school. Whew! I’m weary. [...]

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.
