Figuring Me Out

Figuring Me Out

Sometimes, as women we get lost in our relationships... lost in all the roles we assume on a daily basis. I know I've posted a couple of times recently about who I am and perhaps you all are getting tired of reading about my process of figuring me out, but ...

Potty Training? Um, No.

Potty Training? Um, No.

Zoe has developed a nasty little habit. She will "boo boo" and then decide immediately that she wants nothing to do with her diaper. So she takes it off. Imagine a 20 month old professional climber making her way up the side of my executive desk with a huge grin ...

How To Change the World

How To Change the World

This morning, I saw a tweet about Saddleback's online campus. For those who are unaware, Saddleback church was created by Rick Warren using his amazing church model, which is wrote about in his book Purpose Driven Church which now is an official ministry of Saddleback Church and actually has its ...

There Snow Place Like Home

There Snow Place Like Home

Yesterday morning, it started snowing... well flurry-ing... In Louisiana, that's a major deal. We can just about run around in shorts all winter. It gets cold for about 10 minutes and then it's summer all of a sudden. There's no fall and no spring. LOL Here is a photo of ...

When the kids miss the bus, I often use our time stuck in the car line to snap a few shots of them before school. Here are a few of Avalyn, Talia, and Briyana from a few days ago:

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

I've had a surprising amount of dialog lately about Fibromyalgia. I have to say it's refreshing to have so many people know what it is... and relate to me. Being diagnosed 18 years ago, I grew up accepting that I had a disorder that no one understood - that many ...

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

I can't honestly say I don't get knots in my stomach when I listen to some of the newest music artists. Having a singing career has always been my dream, but as life would have it - I've had no real opportunities to pursue it... I sometimes am jealous that ...

The Me That I Am

The Me That I Am

With life as busy as it is, I admit there normally aren't many chances throughout the weeks to stop and seriously consider who I am... or what I am doing. I'm one of those people who - no matter how much I try to plan and schedule - typically ends ...

Just One of Those Days

Today has been one of “those” days. You know… the one where the kids don’t listen, the house seems to vomit messes (since none of the kids have any idea how these things keep getting strown across the floor), and I just can’t get “it” together no matter how hard I try. Normally I can take just about anything in stride, deal with it, and …

Make Up? For WHAT?!

Talia just walked up to my desk and gave me a very confused look. She cocked her head to the side, appearing extremely perplexed and just stared at me. I gave her the side-eye-glance, asking myself if I really wanted to know what was on her mind. Talia is the child that has no filter between her brain and her mouth. You never know what …

Briyana’s 10th Birthday Party {Photos}

Briyana has been begging me for permission to straighten her hair for at least a year. She has been “over” her super-curly, typical biracial hair for far too long! Since she turned 10 last week, I decided to finally give in and buy her a flat iron to straighten her hair. I took her to WalMart and let her pick one out. She got a …

Happy Birthday, Briyana!

At 10:31am yesterday, my oldest daughter became my first baby to reach a double-digit age. She turned ten years old. I cannot believe it’s been over a decade since we found out she was a girl… and then all of a sudden, she was born. She changed my life in ways I never expected. She was perfect. She was precious. She was my daughter… Time …

Avalyn’s Trip to the Movies

Thursday, our neighbor/Barry’s friend & coworker invited Avalyn to go to the movie theater with him and his daughter… she was SOOOO excited! She’s never been to one before. Well, maybe when she was a baby … wait, no … that was Talia. So, nope. Ava’s never been.
This is Avalyn, all ready to go!

Ava and her friend, Tanayiah on their way to the movies!
