Diary

Happy Wednesday! I'm in Dallas where I dropped Caroline off at soccer camp and am spending the rest of the week here to catch up with dear friends and maybe shop if you twist my arm. But I wanted to welcome you to my new blog design. We are still tweaking a couple of things, but I am so happy with the way it turned out and I hope you are too! If you're reading on email, then you probably Read More

This is basically my life philosophy right now because it's too hot to be outside right now. P really appreciated me sharing that fact with him today when he got home from a day of landscape work. I just felt that he needed to know. And there's really nothing to do but stay inside because I asked Caroline earlier if she wanted to go to the pool and basically got this Read More

So we arrived in Bryan on Monday night, full of various barbecued meats and plans to visit the drive through safari in Franklin, Texas on Tuesday. This wasn't really because we were dying to actually to drive through a large pasture full of camels in Franklin as much as just wanting to do something different than what we've done in the past because the kids had specifically requested that we take Read More

The launch team basically helps spread the word about the book on social media and in your Read More

Last night, Caroline, P and I went to go see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 at the Alamo Drafthouse. I can't believe we haven't been there before but I also can't remember the last time the three of us went to see a movie. It's so rare that something is out that we all want to see and I guess when we have a free night we opt for something other than going to the movies. And now I've over-explained it Read More

I am not kidding when I tell you that I am making myself sit on my couch write now and catch up on about six hundred and forty things, including writing a blog post. Caroline got out of school at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 1st and I was under some sort of delusion that life would slow down and I would have completed all the projects on my to do list that are under impending deadlines. I Read More

Well. Caroline had her last day of school last Thursday and life has been a whirlwind ever since. I've slept in my bed one night since then. We spent the weekend in Houston and now we're in Nashville, home of the Nashville Predators. I have quickly learned that if you are currently in Nashville for any reason at all, then you need to go ahead and jump on board the Stanley Cup bandwagon even Read More
