And The Winner Is…

When I posted my Vera Bradley pocket papers giveaway on Monday morning, I thought, wouldn’t it be fun if I got, like, 50 comments or something!?  I got 512.  FIVE HUNDRED AND TWELVE.  Yall.  This is INSANE.  My site meter is still reeling.

Throwback Thursday

As promised… Senior Prom 1990 My mom took this picture in our family room before we headed off to prom.  (Thanks for cutting off our feet, Mom!)  Once again, 80s fashion leaves us shaking our heads in disbelief.  Whoever decided that plastering a huge bow on the on the hip was a good look should [...]

In Which We Don Sweatshirts and Pretend It’s November

I spent the last hour rocking the baby while she slept, snuggled together under a cozy quilt, listening to the wind howling around our house.  Until the big kids came in from playing outside at a neighbor’s and disrupted our slumber, all wind-blown, pink-cheeked, dressed appropriately for the weather in sweatshirts and jeans.  The sky [...]

The Grass Is Always Greener…
