There’s a saying here in the South, and like many, it definitely has hidden meaning. For those who aren’t from here, some of our expressions may leave you puzzled. Like if we get really mad, we may just inform you that we’ll knock you into the middle of next week looking both ways for Sunday! … Read more
I try to live a prayer-filled life, but if I am to be truly honest, many days I downright forget. It’s not that good intentions aren’t there. Oh they are… I’ve tried group studies and even was given a gift to help me read the Bible in a year. Yeah… I got that gift over … Read more
To some this may come as a surprise, but to those who know me best, they know this as truth. I may be an outgoing and up-for-anything kind of person for most of the day, but when it’s time to recharge, I can become a recluse like the best of them. The people-dodging, phone-averting, house-hiding … Read more
The days are sometimes hard. Like really hard. The chaotic mix of stress stemming from work, home responsibilities, and schlepping three young kiddos is enough to drive anyone to the brink of insanity. I’ve been there many times. To that brink.

Vacations! One word that sums up so many experiences, memories, and feelings. We dream of them. Some plan to visit those picturesque island escapes or ancient long-lost cities. Others are completely content with a quick weekend getaway to get some much needed rest and relaxation. Wherever vacation takes you for however long you have the … Read more
Our bags were packed. Our vehicle was too. And two out of my three kids were jumping around inside our no-longer spacious van counting down the hours until they would be in the same city as “THE” Mickey Mouse. Not only had the day arrived that we were to embark on our trek to Orlando, … Read more
I love to read. Give me a good book, a rainy day, and a cleared spot on the sofa chair, and I could be amused for hours upon end. A good autobiography or a fictional novel. A book to teach me new ways to be a successful gardener or one that teleports me into make-believe. … Read more
