Congratulations to the Newest P&G Manager {In the Family Room}
Today the hubs is officially a manager at Proctor & Gamble. And the kids and I couldn’t be prouder of him and his accomplishments. When the hubs and I got out of the Army 15 years ago, we didn’t know what we were going to do or how we were going to support ourselves, the only thing we knew was that our family had to stay together. We decided to move to the hub’s hometown in Pennsylvania. He’ll dispute this factoid but our intended term was for a period of no more than 5 years; we’ve been here for 15 years… At the time, I was pregnant with baby number…

Crazy Days of Summer: Light
A picture I snapped of my husband as he was walking through an underpass. Quite possibly one of my favorites… Two years ago, our best friends were married at the beach. The bride was playing in the water at the end of the ceremony when I snapped this picture… This was taken in Texas a few years back. I’m a librarian, so it’s only natural that I would find a bar called “The Library”. This was also taken at the beach. The water and sky were so blue, so perfect. They were almost indistinguishable… Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge is hosted by Alicia of Project Alicia and Kristi oflive and…

What Has Brought You Joy?
My girls are my pride and joy. Don’t get me wrong, I like the boy too. I mean, he is my son and all but there’s something about hanging out with my girls that brings me so much joy. I can say that because I know the boy doesn’t read my blog but the girls do and if they try to tease him with this post, it’ll backfire because I’ve already texted him and told him that he’s my favorite. He knows the deal… On this particular day, the girls and I had decided to go walking along the Back Mountain Trail, a nice little path that winds through the mountains where we…

Shoe Style Saturday
A few years ago, a friend of mine sent me a postcard that said: “Change your shoes, change your mood.” I thought it was absolutely brilliant. Whenever I put on these shoes, I feel young, flirty and fun. I don’t wear them often, just enough to remind myself that there’s still a young, flirty and fun woman under all the mom stuff… Do you have a pair of shoes that are mood changers?

Reading the Bible in 90 Days: What I Learned
Around November 2010, my mom (an evangelist), and I were talking about bibles and the various translations and their readability, when she told me that she had one that she wanted to send me to read. Inwardly I groaned. Growing up, my mom’s not~so~subtle questioning of my salvation had always been a sore spot with me. In fact, I’d say that it directly led to my rebellious phase. So when the Bible arrived, I left it in the mailing envelope, on the corner of the dining room table, touching it only to move it from place to place so the family could eat our meals… Around the end of December,…

Crazy Days of Summer: Water
JOIN ME FOR SHOE STYLE SATURDAY It’s a fun meme all about shoes. For more information, click here. Frances Slocum State Park A few weeks ago, the hubs suggested that we drive to the lake and take some pictures. This was one of the best ideas he’d had in a long time. The lake was incredibly beautiful and watching people fish was relaxing. Huntsville Dam This dam is about 300 feet from my house. Hard to believe something so beautiful can be so dangerous. A few years ago, it burst and we were evacuated from our homes at 2 something in the morning. Hard part? Remembering to take the necessities and…
