Let’s start with the backstory, shall we? Two years ago, I would’ve sworn that I would NEVER be a homeschool mom. I could rattle off every reason (excuses for me, really) why it just wouldn’t work: I’m not disciplined enough. I’m terrible at math. My kids are 3 different ages/grades. I couldn’t run my business […]

It’s strawberry season in Georgia and there’s nothing better than some farm-fresh berries! Yesterday, I discovered that our favorite local orchard had a Roadside Market pickup option and I jumped on it! I grabbed a flat of freshly picked strawberries for just $20! I would’ve easily paid $4-5 for a pound at the grocery store […]

“Get me, mama!” The pitter patter of sweet little feet has grown into the thundering stomps of a rambunctious six year old daring me and his daddy to try to catch him as he races down the long hall, around the kitchen island, and into the living room. Did I mention it’s usually accompanied by […]

A whole, entire decade has passed since we said “I do.” Did you hear that? A decade! Don’t get me wrong, I know there are far more couples who have celebrated greater anniversary milestones than us, but 10 years is most certainly something to celebrate! It seems so crazy that we’ve been married for ten whole […]

“During Christmastime, I always think of and miss my grandpa a little more than usual. He LOVED Christmas & always made fudge, his famous ham, and went all-out decorating. He was convinced his voice was identical to Bing Crosby or Dean Martin and any time I hear White Christmas, I’m five years old, riding on […]

My daddy taught me early that when you meet someone new, you give ’em a firm handshake and look ’em in the eye. I still do that today. However, I am a southern girl through and through and if you’re not a hugger, you better be on your toes ’cause that’s how we roll down […]
