Last night was my Sunday School shower and we had such a great time!  There were so many sweet girls from Sunday School there to shower our sweet unknown baby#2 with love and gifts!  I know it’s harder to pick out “neutral” gifts, but it was so neat to get so many wonderful, useful gifts.
We [...]

Because we are using John Michael’s nursery set up for the new baby, it was time for our little guy to get a new “big boy” room!  Jordan rallied hard for football/sports, but moms, you know what I’m saying here….he will want that ole stuff for all of his little boyhood.  Right now is the only [...]

Ah yes, my friend, it’s a good Friday when this lands on your doorstep!

Oh, it’s a thing of beauty and it made me so giddy!  I savored each page and drooled over the tablescapes and recipes.

It needs no words.  It’s just plain yum and it just screams FALL!  Between the apples, pecans, and the praline glaze it just feels like something that you would [...]

 Guess who’s feeling better as of Friday?!  Thursday afternoon was rough.  John Michael started getting a cold, got sick, had a fever, then threw up all over me two different times and threw up on the couch where we were snuggling and watching cartoons. 

As you know, it’s just a lot of clean up, involving a [...]
