As I was writing my Father’s Day post, it occurred to me that I owed you a Mother’s Day post. We were all a little bit busy around Mother’s Day with Tater’s birth. But that doesn’t mean I can ignore my marvelous mama. So here you go. She is quirky and stubborn and strong and … Continue reading
I know the blog has been quiet lately. I’m going through some stuff and feeling like I’ve lost my way. But I can’t let today go by without celebrating my amazing dad. So let the waterworks begin. My dad lost his dad when he was very young, in his 20s, so he had to figure … Continue reading
Today, my family said goodbye to our sweet boy Walter. He was 11. He was a such a sweet, sweet boy. A big, huge bundle of fur and energy and pure love and adoration. I was there the day my parents picked him up. The puppies were all in a pen together, and there were … Continue reading

I … Continue reading

It’s nothing fancy, but I absolutely adore it. It’s my mom’s recipe, and after one failed attempt to make it using canned … Continue reading
Before we dive right back into photo-a-day, I want to thank everyone for the well wishes. The surgery was just as my awesome podiatrist promised–no big deal. I was very lucky, as I had the combination of pain pills, ginger ale, and my amazing mother on my side. I know I’ve said it before but … Continue reading
Hello!! Did you wonder where I went? Sure you did! Even if you didn’t, I’m gonna tell you. I spent the last four days in Dallas with my mom. We were here: But wait, before you start to get happy for me because you think we had fun, well, think again. We were at market. … Continue reading
