For our spring break, we took a trip to Panama City Beach with the Hodges' family. Anna's family owns a condo at Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort, so we bunked with them for the week. If you are looking for a place to stay in Panama City Beach, I definitely recommend Edgewater. They have several ...
Unraveled
Back in April, Lisa and I had the pleasure of attending a women's conference at Shades Mountain Baptist church in Birmingham. We came home with dreams of hosting our own conference at TBC. Fast forward three months, several Starbucks meetings, even more phone calls and emails later and our dream ...
Women in the Word, OT Review
I have so enjoyed working my way through this She Reads Truth Women in the Word study. It's been extra-awesome because I've been participating with those beautiful ladies in the above photo. We've shared some hilarious group texts, some heart-to-heart real life conversations, and most recently, a ...
Lately (Shark Week version)
You guys, it's SHARK WEEK!! I don't usually get all into sharks, but I have been sucked in majorly this year. Maybe it was Anna's super awesome, last-minute, kick-off party? Funny story: A few years ago, when Kyndall was 4(ish), Justin let her watch a few episodes of shark week. In the middle ...
The Post With All the Photos, Take 2
Y'all, there is so much we have done and so much I have missed telling you, there may be three takes in this post series instead of the two I had planned! Both of these girls racked up on awards day--Kyndall received the Governors Award for Physical Fitness, A-Honor Roll, and Student Council award. ...
That Time I Met Jen Hatmaker
Last weekend, Lisa and I drove down to Birmingham to a women's conference at Shades Mountain Baptist Church. The theme was For Such A Time As This and the speaker was my favorite, Jen Hatmaker. (Jen is the author of Seven, Interrupted, and the eagerly anticipated For the Love.) PS: I took ...
On Asking for Help
{source} I don't like to ask for help. I like to be the girl doing the helping. I am independent to a fault. I feel needed when someone asks me to help them. I am the responsible one, the capable one, the one who helps with your kids and brings the meals (that I pick up, not cook, of course). ...
The Weekend Lens
We had a friend-filled weekend, and this mama has been looking forward to Monday to catch up on my rest :)On Friday night, Justin took Kyndall hunting with a friend and his daughter. They spent the night a few hours away from home. Lots of fun, but no luck with the hunting.With them ...
I Heart Fall…..And Especially Pumpkin Patches
We have a tradition. (Ok, we have a lot of traditions, but this is our 'fall' one.) Every October, for the past six years, we take a trip to a semi-local pumpkin patch with our friends. We've visited Tate Farms, 4D farms, Gullion farms, and Lyon Family farms. We pick our ...
Our Chosen Family
I love the quote "Friends are the family you choose." The Johnson's are our chosen family. Not only are we the best of friends, but our kids are, too! Harrison and Kyndall are the same age, same grade and Ellis and Libby are the same age, but different grades. We were elated ...
A Stuffed Animal Birthday Party
About two weeks ago, the girls started talking about hosting a birthday party for their stuffed animal, Cherry. Invitations were handmade. They both spent several hours in K's room building a piñata for the party. After two weeks of planning and creating, Libby decided on a date. ...
Words + Photos: Summer Edition
I've been horrible at keeping you updated this summer. That goals list I had all planned out? It hasn't even begun. For some reason, all I want to do is sleep....and eat! So here is a quick recap of our summer, with words and photos.Right after vacation, I had a spa day with ...
