You guys, March was so much better than I could have ever imagined! I celebrated my 45th birthday and The Hubs and I found out that we’ve been married 23 years and not 24 {thank you, Facebook}. And, of course, there were the adventures in camping. Seriously, how many bad […]
I don’t have too many complaints about February. In fact, I’d say it was a pretty good month. We had some days warm enough that I was almost convinced that summer had come early. Then I was quickly reminded of the fact that it’s still winter. But, that’s how February […]
WHY I WRITE I’ve noticed a lot of new faces around here, so I thought I’d do a little introduction and tell you all a little bit about myself and about my blog. But before I get into that, I want to say THANK YOU for being here, I appreciate […]
I know I complained about January being the longest year ever. That still stands. But let me tell you, there were some fabulous moments in January too. My son came to visit from Missouri, and, y’all, my momma heart was so full. One of these days, I’d love to have […]
I remember when I first started blogging, a bizillion light years ago, we used to do these fun little linkups where someone would ask a series of questions and everyone would answer. Sometimes they were in the form of videos, sometimes they were typed out. Either way, it was just […]

I’d like to welcome you to Coffee Talk. If you’re new here, this is where I share some of the great and not~so~great stuff that I find on the web. Topics range from news stories that leave me scratchin’ my head to DIYs that I think are absolutely clever. And, […]
My sister and I have always known the dramatic story of our birth. Mom used it as a way to highlight my our need for attention since birth. And as I tell you the story, you’ll understand that we come by our dramatics honestly. Thank you, Mom and Dad… It […]
“How many children do you have?” “We have five.” We have six. “Four girls and a boy.” Four girls and two boys. At least, I think he was a boy. Even though I carried him in my hands to the hospital and gave him to the nurse, I don’t know for […]
At almost 43, I’m still trying to figure it out. There are times when I feel like a teenager, dipping a toe into the warm waters of adulthood. Then there are times when I feel like an old hand at this grown~up thing, jumping head first into the deep end. I’m […]
You guys, it’s been nearly four months since I’ve been able to post anything here. When I first lost access to this blog, I thought it was an answer to an unspoken prayer. I was kinda burnt out and wondering if I really wanted to continue blogging. Then I started another blog. […]
I’m honored to be the “Business of the Week” at Mind Your Black Business. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a long time Twitter friend, Louiseza Sanders, and asked if I would like be interviewed for her website. I was hesitant at first, because, well, I don’t see […]
