It really does all go back in the box.
My kids keep asking if money is power. Not because they suddenly want to have some sort of philosophical discussion – obviously. But, it’s a line in some old Tom and Jerry movie. I tried to relate it to them on their terms by asking questions like “Does money make you happy?” “Yes!” John Henry [...]

And the winner is…
I know the anticipation of the first ever randomness give-away has been just flat out overwhelming. I’m not all too familiar with those online pick it for you tech machines that the professional bloggers use. So, we’re kicking it back old school with our hat drawing.

A day at the museum.
It’s been a pleasant 100 degrees here in Middle America. It’s so hot, even the pool sounds treacherous. I mean, it’s excruciating enough to wear a swimsuit at the pool.

Two hearts are better than one?
Anna: “I have two hearts. God wivs in one. And, Jesus wivs in the other one.” We’ll fit the Holy Spirit in there on another day. For now, I think she’s pretty much covered. Sidebar: When your three-year old yells from the bathroom, “Hey, Mom! Watch this!” Just go. Right away.

Talk about taking the cake!
My friend, Jennifer Doss, takes the cake. No, really. She does! Her business is cleverly called, “She Takes the Cake”, and boy does she ever. So, if you are livin’ in the metro Atlanta area, and want some tasty treats, let me know. I can hook you up. Now, my other friend, Jennifer – this [...]

Living with a chronic disease.
My senior year of college was a stressful one. I over-loaded on classes for the single goal of finishing school a year early. Silly girl. What was I thinking? It was during this time that I was diagnosed with an incurable, but usually manageable disease. I will spare you the details. Believe me, there is [...]
