Worth It
September 05, 2010"If a grandfather, father, or anyone else ever put up a tire swing, rope swing, or any kind of swing for you, stop reading this right now and go write them or call them to thank them. Trust me. They did not have an easy time of it. But the look on your face was [...]"
We Found It!
August 17, 2010"The proverbial Needle In a Haystack. The diamond in a very messy and large rough. My diamond. We found it. I was picking veggies from the garden, and I came up to the carport and Todd and the kids were grinning like jackasses eating briars. “Mama?” Todd said. “Remember when you said you would take the [...]"
Help Me Pull the Trigger
July 13, 2010"On a dining room lighting choice. So, this is going to be a decorating post. I know. Very out of character. Bear with me. . .

The Chase
July 08, 2010" The Chase Originally uploaded by DASHIELLREY My brother-in-law took this when we were on Cape San Blas. The little guy is my nephew, Dash.

July 06, 2010"I watched my children play in the sand while a storm came in, never quite reached us, but left us a rainbow that spanned the trees and the beach and gulf, all the way to the horizon. I listened as my children discussed whether the pot of gold was in the forest or in the [...]"
I Didn’t Even Know I Wanted It Until It Was On My Finger
July 01, 2010"I just spent an hour on hands and knees, scouring the floor for the diamond from my engagement ring. The big middle one, of course. Little side guys are still intact. I am pretty sure that I had it this morning, because i think i would have noticed the empty setting, or it would have [...]"
I Love Summer
June 25, 2010"Got this outta my garden, and made four batches of pesto, too. Especially loving the Asparagus beans. . . Can’t wait till the cutting tomatoes come in and i can have a tomato sandwich for lunch every day. Ahhhhhh. Share/Save"
Covet
June 19, 2010"You know me. I don’t particularly like to shop. I buy from Value Village, or Target, or out of my grandparents’ closets. (I just had to create a new Category for this post, because i have never posted about clothing or fashion before!) But for some reason, i am totally coveting this boot. I am [...]"
Snug as Two Bugs in a Rug
June 18, 2010"They were fighting five minutes before this and not five minutes after, but for a few moments this morning, my kiddos were snug as two bugs in a rug. Share/Save"
For Matt and Shannon: I Like You
June 16, 2010"My dear friends Matt and Shannon got married this past Saturday in Auburn. (Todd and Matt grew up together in Auburn.) The in-laws kept the spawn, so Todd and I had a whole weekend of fun, staying in a hotel and hanging out with friends by the pool. Much fun was had by all, and [...]"
