Aggieland

Yesterday morning I walked outside and discovered that it felt a little like Fall. Not much, but a little. The breeze was out of the north and just slightly cooler and my whole body sighed with relief that the end of summer is near. And with the end of summer comes...College Football baby.Specifically, my beloved Texas Aggies. They will open their season on Saturday against the Citadel at Kyle Read More

Seriously

As the mother of a three year old and as the wife of a man, I tend to be on the go quite a bit. From the time I wake up in the morning at a truly indecent hour until the time I go to bed at night, there is a lot of noise.

She got tagged by She Lives

Memes

So Carol over at She Lives tagged me for a meme about my dogs and made the comment that I would be like who is she and why is she tagging me. Are you kidding? Carol is the reason that I have been able to sleep until 7 a.m. for several mornings because after reading this post, she suggested a little trick called bribery. And y'all it works 90% of the time. To show my appreciation I will tell you Read More

So here is my explanation.I started this blog back in July and when blogger asked for a name I sat and thought, and thought, and then thought some more. The name that kept coming to mind was Big Mama and I kept thinking, do I really want to be known as Big Mama? And obviously Motherhood has worn me down Read More
