Do you ever wish sometimes you had a fun party to go to? Or just want a simple reason to celebrate? Something to get all dressed up over and feel the excitement? Have something or someone to enjoy and escape the “normal” everyday ritual just for a little while? To feel like you just put…
Counting My Blessings
Remember when I mentioned last week, that I wanted to focus on the important things for the holiday season? That I wanted to visit some dear friends & give them holiday hugs, watch my kids play & laugh. Well, we did just that this weekend. The kids & I took a little road trip. We…
prepping, planning, primping
Atlanta Bartlett’s Portfolio The countdown has begun. I think we are all feeling it. I feel like time is slipping through my fingers. There is so much “fun” stuff this time of year to do, but so much “prep” work to be able to do it. There are so many “new” joys of discovery in…
Fall Sun, Shadows, & Play
Fall. It is slipping through our hands too fast. The wind is coming in & our beautiful leaves have covered our ground. You can’t see the green grass anymore. It is just a golden carpet of leaves outside. These pictures were taken last week. What a difference a week can make. I love the contrasting…
Mommy’s Day Out – “ATL” style
Yes, can you believe it!!! A couple of weeks ago I had a MDO (Mommy’s Day Out) in ATL! It was heavenly. I meant to mention it earlier or should I say brag earlier, but a week of computer trouble more like drama, and the weather being perfect around here lately…I just failed to upload…

a bittersweet milestone
both taken with my phone. sorry, poor quality. It was a big day at the Nest. Mason and Madison were finally turned facing forward in their car seats. Big boy Mason has been more then ready, but little sis just needed to put a few more pounds on her to do so. Finally, it has…
We’re Back…
Our trip was great. It was the perfect time to get out of town! The kids did unbelievably well. Chief & I walked 20+ miles a day. (not really, my feet just feel like we did.) We got a super deal last minute, and I do mean last minute on Travelocity. Flight + room. Just…
BUSY with simple things.
Chief, my husband has been mowing & bailing hay all week along with working his regular job. So it has been me & the kids basically all week & then some. Yes, I’ve had time to turn on the computer, but to form a sentence or paragraph, well, that’s a different story. Just keeping things…
