If you’re tired of reading about how sweet my seven year old is, feel free to click the “x” in the top right-hand corner. But, I just had to record this day with him. I was completely exhausted yesterday due to one little Jett Takle preparing for the 2028 Winter Olympics inside my belly the [...]

At All Times.
“I hope of all the qualities I have inherited from my father that being a good friend is one of them. He is always a friend to the end.” That was my last tweet on the Twitter last night. If I ever want to know what a true friend looks like, I should always look [...]

It’s Girls’ Night Out.
Actually, it was Girls’ Day Out. Y’all know I can’t stay out past 5:00 these days. Momma gets tie-red. Kris and I are trying to squeeze in some one on one time with our kiddos before their little brother gets here and consumes a lot of it. So, Anna and I, well, Anna planned our [...]

I Love His Blue Eyes, Too.
He gets into trouble just like any other seven year old boy. He can be silly. He loves to entertain us with his renditions of songs from Elvis to the Steve Miller Band to our hometown’s Death On Two Wheels. Then, he’ll hear David Crowder’s “How He Loves Us” and sing it with such a [...]

Sometimes, I Think I’m Good At Doing God’s Job.
My friend, Robin Storch, said something that was pretty life-changing for me recently. For real! Life-changing! She was sharing something God had showed her, but followed it up with, “But it’s not my job to convince him of anything.” I know. It sounds simple. But, I find that whenever God shows me something about someone [...]

Countdown to Jett Takle.
Thank heavens for mommas. Mine was here for a few days to help me prepare for our baby boy’s arrival. I’ve been motivated to get busy with his room. However, my motivation had not exceeded calling a painter to paint his room. Here are a few pics of what we she accomplished: I confiscated the [...]

Her Ability To Make Me Laugh Is Often Redemptive.
I told her the brown leggings with the peach flowers looked hideous with her shirt. She disagreed. I told her to change pants. She did. Sort of. So, when I picked her up from school, how in the name of all things Vogue, did she manage to have on the brown leggings again? Because, she [...]

The Eagles Said Take It Easy. So Did My Doc.
My lack of writing yesterday was due to a rough night and morning with a contraction or ten. No. I was not in labor. Just a tad uncomfortable. I decided to ease the pain by taking a relaxing, warm bath. When Anna walked in and saw me, she giggled and said, “Mom, you’re too big [...]

This Is Where Coherency & Good Writing Go Out the Window.
It was a crazy, busy, fun weekend, and quite frankly, I’m spent. I’ll write something a little more coherent later. I went to Dallas with ten of the best ladies on the planet. They are my BSers, you see. Ahem, my Bible Study gals. We left early Friday morning and I shopped until I dropped….almost [...]
