The rest of my music for the trip would just be a big fat rip-off of John Mayer’s Paradise Valley. That blues-y feel was perfect for every situation in the South. The album was on heavy rotation this trip (also since I’ve been home) and frankly, I wouldn’t be able to come up with anything better.…
Spring Adventuring: Part 2
This adventure begins with a relaxing tune, maybe even a lullaby. Because we arrived at the airport waaaay past our bedtime. We knew there probably wouldn’t be much sleeping during the red-eye flight, but I was amazed at the people who seem to have a system down. Before we even got to our seats, I…
Spring Adventuring: Part 1
If I was a musician, I’d definitely make up a song about my latest adventures. This first one would be a country song. A happy little tune that you’d want to play during a backyard BBQ with your big ol’ family. Heavy on the guitar, I would sing about going to Utah, where we eat…

The Ultimate Confession: I Need Therapy!
This probably isn’t the type of thing you’re supposed to announce on the internet, but I guess that’s never really stopped me before eh. I don’t know what it was about March 10th. I remember it was the first weekday of Daylight Savings Time. It was chilly in our room but sure to get warmer.…
Stevie Fan Club {Good Ol' Fashioned Update}
It’s been awhile since I updated you guys on how Stevie is doing. And since he is my most popular blog topic, I thought it was about time. So here’s Stevie as of April 2014: He is going to preschool 2 hours a day. He loves it. He is getting 30 minutes of Speech, OT and…
Mom Style {5 More Friday Confessions}
One side effect of owning Beats by Dre headphones is I can’t stop listening to gangster rap. I will also probably be deaf within the week. (They were on closeout for nearly half price, so I had to get a pair!) I really want to just go do something fun today, ya know? But Stevie’s idea of…
Husband Fan Club: Happy Birthday Baby
I have been staring at this post for a couple weeks, trying to come up with the perfect thing to say about my husband Paul. The guy who works so hard to provide a life for his family that we can all be proud of. The guy who makes me laugh so hard I sometimes pee…
Easter Sunday with the Fam
We aren’t much for church worship in this family. But on Easter Sunday we worshiped the sun, the food, laughter and togetherness. (The kids mostly worshiped the candy.) We enjoyed a few Easter traditions. And mostly loved seeing the kids together. Stevie is never happier than when he’s with his cousins. I feel that spending…
SammyDress Vest: 3 Ways to Wear it for Spring
The weather here is all over the place. A couple rainy days, followed by windy days, followed by heat from the devil. Then back to the pleasant sunny days we live here for. My wardrobe is seriously getting a workout. And, it is at this point in the post, that I owe my poor mother…
