In the Neighborhood: Zoo Boo
We didn’t celebrate Halloween when I was growing up. Religious reasons. When I had my own children, I let them dress up when they were little, although I made it perfectly clear that I was not a fan. Once they hit junior high, they stopped dressing up, but they’d go to their grandma’s house to hand out candy to the neighborhood kids. This continued until we moved away from Pennsylvania.

Zoo Boo is a big Halloween celebration that takes…

We’re at about 90something degrees, which is a far cry from the triple digits we’ve been dealing with over the summer. I also found the most stunning black…

You can see a little bit of it in the trunk of my car in the picture. It’s a Betsy Johnson piece that I found years ago at Marshall’s. They had a smaller under seat suitcase that I routinely kick myself for not buying. I didn’t think I’d need it. I was looks…

When The Hubs and I first got married, I couldn’t cook at all. In fact, I’d lived in my apartment for about 6 months and hadn’t even turned on the stove. It was just my infant daughter and me, so I didn’t feel the need to cook. I used to buy crawfish, potatoes, and boiled corn from the…

I had such a good time. If you’d like to…

Weekend Getaway: Georgia
Y’all, I just spent the weekend with my daughter and her girlfriend in Georgia. When I tell you having adult children is a whole different level of momming, I’m not kidding. I love my kids, I love them dearly, but the one thing I’m most proud of is how much I genuinely like them. And, gosh, it makes my momma heart happy that they want to hang out with me. Savannah, Georgia While my daughter drove and Katie kept her company, I napped in the back. Not gonna lie, being able to relax on the road was super nice. I had to get a snap of this poster of The…

My sister and I turned fifty yesterday. FIFTY. Where did the time go? In some ways, I still feel like that young mom looking around for the adult in the room and realizing she is me. Do you remember that feeling? It’s not that I thought I’d wake up on the day of my fiftieth and magically have…
