Once a year, I document our life for seven days. I share the real stuff, the hard stuff, the funny stuff and everything in between. Mostly, I do it because our lives are full and I fear I’ll forget the little things we do that really form our family. Maybe someday the kids will enjoy these posts as much as I enjoy writing them. Ha! You can read all about it: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Better late than never, right? I arrived home around midnight on Wednesday, so Thursday morning was slow going. No morning workout and no early rise and shine for me. Scott and my mother-in-law got the crew going and delivered to school for Grandparents' Day. I … [Read more...]

Ha! You can read all about it: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. At this point, you're probably thinking, "Does she do anything else except eat BBQ?" Trust me, tomorrow I'll be back to Dr Pepper, goldfish and quesadillas with a size of crazy. But, for today, I have one last day in Dallas. It has been spectacular! At 5:25am … [Read more...]

Ha! You can read all about it: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I arrived in Dallas/Richardson early evening on Monday night and got to squeeze some cute nephews, a niece and my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Armed with ibuprofen, water and cough drops, I rallied on Tuesday morning and made my 5:45am Pure Barre workout, but this … [Read more...]
Week in My Life: Monday, Nov. 13
It's time for Week in My Life! I originally started this back in 2013. And, I've done it every year since (2014 and 2015), except last year. I think that's when the crazy hopper was on full speed. I'm sharing bits and pieces (and videos) over on Instagram, but I'm a writer at heart. Plus, I want to document life for my kids to look back on someday. Color me nostalgic.

My Photos Stunk, and I How I Changed Them
Once upon a time, I knew enough about photography to be dangerous. In my past life, B.C. (before children), I had an awesome job as a communications specialist with the National FFA Organization.

Plus, I was sleep deprived and had almost no opportunities to head out of the house and take a photography course. Then, a friend of mine from Iowa started raving about Shultz Photo School (SPS). I took the FREE 7-part snackable course to see if it … [Read more...]
