1. My five year old told me this morning that I was ruining her life. All because I vetoed her restaurant of choice for lunch. (She was kidding as she said this, but I envisioned the future and teenage years and it wasn't pretty!) 2. In my real life, I am the library media ...
From the Camera Roll
I'm shaking things up around here a little bit and doing a "From the Camera Roll" post on Wednesday instead of Friday. I do what I want, yo :)A teacher at our school has a corn snake as a class pet. Wouldn't you know it, my girls LOVE Roxie! They want to hold her ALL the time, and ...
Snowpocalypse 2014
Lord have mercy we have SNOW in ALABAMA!! We are enjoying every tiny little flake. Apparently, my snowman building skills are lacking. We tried to save this little guy by calling him a snow penguin. That's a little better, right?They played for several hours--throwing snowballs, ...
New Baby Love
We got home late Sunday night from a quick weekend trip to Arkansas to see my sister-and-brother-in-law and their adorable, precious, perfect new baby boy.We left Thursday evening around 8:00 and made it just past Memphis before stopping for the night. At one point, all three girls looked like ...
Via the Camera Roll. Five Photos. Four Words.
1. Drink All the Water: I've been stubbornly trying to fight off this UTI/kidney infection/imminent death thing I've got going on by chugging the H20. This sweet Bama cup has been glued to my side. 2. Best Friends For Life: These sweet boys came to our house to play ...
Our No-Snow Snow Day
School ended up being cancelled today. It's delayed tomorrow and Wednesday, too. Now, I don't mind getting an unexpected free day, not at all, but this weather just stinks. Zero snow, 13 degrees and feels like -4. IN ALABAMA. What the what? We can't even leave our ...
First Best Sisters
I found this in Kyndall's room the other day and it warmed my heart. It says "First Best Sisters." I LOVE that they are best friends--yes, they fight and yes, I sometimes feel like I want to lock them in seperate rooms for a while, but they love each other. And for the most part, ...
Mornings on break are the best mornings.
I love my job, I do. I mean, I REALLY love my job. But on mornings like this, when we don't set an alarm and the girls snuggle with me in the recliner. When we get ready if we want to and when we want to. When I have my coffee sitting at home instead of rushing out the door. ...
Snow Skiing Adventure
We had an amazing week on the slopes. I've found a new favorite activity in snow skiing, and so have the girls :)We left on the 26th and spent 5 nights at Beech Mountain, North Carolina. I know it's not Colorado, but for this southern girl, it was AWESOME! The trip there took about ...
Happy 2014 and a Christmas Recap
Happy New Year, guys! Today feels like the start of a new book and I can't wait to begin the first chapter. I have so many exciting things planned for this year--races, trips, events. The arrival of my first nephew (OK, so maybe I didn't plan that one, but I will be planning a trip out to see ...
Christmas Eve Joy
We started our Christmas Eve off right this morning--by sleeping in! I think we all finally started getting up around 8:45. Once we were all up and moving, we put on some decent clothes and went (with no makeup or anything!) to Jacks for breakfast. Then we fought the crazy crowds ...
Workout Rewind and A Christmas Partying Weekend
I'm noticing a trend with my workouts lately. I do REALLY well at the beginning of the week, and then not so well at the end. The end of our week just seems to get busier somehow?!? This week went a little like this:Monday: 4.5 miles on the treadmill with my new friend ...
