Flip-flap-flops and other wardrobe casualties

Before I begin, I wanted to thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers for my family in Missouri. Not only were they spared from the tornadoes, but they left a day later for vacation in Florida!

The truth about cheap sunglasses

It’s that time of year again. Time to buy another pair of sunglasses. My latest pair of Vera Wang’s from Kohl’s have lost a screw, and left me squinting into the wild blue yonder defenseless against the sun’s blinding light reflecting off of asphalt and silver Toyota Camrys.

If I ever had a mojo, I think I’ve lost it

Groove, mojo—whatever you want to call it, I fear I’ve lost it. Perhaps forever, because I am not so sure I will be as lucky as Stella and get mine back.

Showers and Shepherds

Going to a baby shower when you have a two year old and an eight month old is kinda like going to a wedding after you’ve been married a few years. “Congratulations!” you say in your best and most sincere tone, while thinking in your head “Good luck, hold on tight, you are in forContinueContinue reading “Showers and Shepherds”

Eight Years in a Basket

Ever year when the warm weather turns cool, my thoughts turn to a certain fuzzy little maroon scarf sitting in a trunk in our guest room. That might seem like an odd place to keep your scarves, and it is—unless yours are like mine; unfinished. This poor little unfinished ball of yarn has so muchContinueContinue reading “Eight Years in a Basket”
