I tried this last year and sucked at it just as badly as I did in 2018. I can blame the pandemic, because, let’s be honest, it’s affected EVERYTHING but, in reality, I just haven’t put much effort into the “little things”. However, on the eve of my 49th birthday I’m thinking it’s time… definitelyContinue reading “To Do List of 2021”

Magnolia Silos, Shopping, and Cupcakes
An impromptu trip to Branson led to an even more impromptu stop at the Silos.

The stop started out routinely enough… the silosContinue reading “Magnolia Silos, Shopping, and Cupcakes”
Words of Wisdom (and somewhat cheesy quotes) to Dylan as he turns the big 2-5!

My Words of Wisdom to my 22 Year-Old Daughter
In my head, I know that you are 22 years old. In my heart, you are still, very much, my baby… While I find it hard to come up with any TRUE Words of Wisdom for you because anyone who knows you knows YOU are WAY more mature than all of us put together thereContinue reading “My Words of Wisdom to my 22 Year-Old Daughter”

On this day, two years ago… 2015
