Thursday Things

Another day, Diary

Is this an actual thing I'm doing now? I don't know. If you do something once, does it become tradition? Maybe. Truth be told, I just liked the way Thursday Things sounded because alliteration. Life here has been busy with all the usual things like soccer and traveling to speak and finding things to cook for dinner and changing out all the plastic hangers in my closet with those velvet Read More

This and that on a Tuesday

Another day

I haven't done one of these posts in forever, but I had a few things I wanted to share that I thought you may or may not be interested in. 1. A new dinner recipe I don't know why this has been such a challenge for me lately, but I think it's a combination of being tired of all my usual meals and trying to get back in the swing of real life after the holidays. On Sunday night, P asked me Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition this doubles as a Christmas recap

Another day, Diary, Fashion

Well. I hope you all had a delightful Christmas and that Santa brought you some things you wanted and/or you got gift cards to go buy those things for yourself. We had a good one at our house and I decided I should probably go ahead and recap it for posterity's sake before it's 2019. Also, if I don't document it, I may forget everything as soon as I come down from the carb/sugar/wine/cheese Read More

And now it’s almost Christmas

Another day

Well, it's almost been a month since I wrote anything here besides Fashion Friday or a podcast post and all I can say is it has been a busy one. And now we are just a little over a week away from Christmas break and I hope it involves a lot of catching up on sleep and watching movies on Netflix. We spent most of our Thanksgiving break in Orlando for a soccer tournament. Before we left on Read More

It’s not the size of the dog, it’s the size of the heart

Another day, Dogs

I can't even tell you how many times I've started to write a blog post over the last few weeks and then I either decide I have nothing to say or I get distracted by Netflix or Caroline texts me from wherever she is at the time to tell me it's time for me to come pick her up. And all my good intentions go out the window. But here I am. Caroline is home which means she won't have to be picked Read More

Happy Tuesday! Here are a few things I thought might be of interest. Please pay special attention to #5 because I would love nothing more than for you to leave your answer in the comments so we can all perhaps benefit. 1. Kindle edition of Everyday Holy The Kindle edition of Everyday Holy, my 100 day devotional for women is just $2.99 on Amazon right now. **Edited to add: I'm Read More

Catching up on life lately now that I looked up and it’s October

Another day

Well. I read something the other day (Don't ask me to quote a source because I cannot.) that said it really takes being six weeks into a new school year before it feels like a routine. And so I looked at my calendar and counted the weeks since school began and it was six weeks as of this past Friday. So that means I should be in a normal routine any day now. I can't wait for that to happen. Read More

Five things on a Thursday

Another day, Diary

I keep meaning to write an actual post but life has just been a combination of busy and uneventful. But here are a few things I thought I'd share in case you're interested. 1. Mary Poppins Trailer I saw this when it was released earlier this week and it made me get teary. I can't even imagine when I actually see the whole movie. I'm sure it will be fine. Also, I adore Emily Blunt and Read More

Back to the real world

Another day

We are officially in the middle of our first week back to school. And, honestly? It hasn't been too painful. Even the earlier mornings and packing the lunches doesn't bother me, although I'm going to need to come back here in mid-October and read that sentence back to myself so I can remember my kinder, gentler, most glass half full self when I'm rolling out of bed with the attitude of a troll Read More
