Do you like rollercoasters? I don't. I'm not talking about rides at amusement parks or county fairs, although if we're being honest I don't like those either. No, I'm talking about emotional rollercoasters. They're just not any fun! Our family has been on this wretched rollercoaster since August 28th, 2023. That's the day my mom … Continue reading I Hate Rollercoasters

Double or Nothing
It’s a boring Tuesday in January. It’s boring because I’m at work, and apparently not many people buy cars in January. This is Day 2 this week of sitting around, twiddling my thumbs, hoping someone will turn in a deal for me to process. No such luck. La la lala lala, la lala lala. Told … Continue reading Double or Nothing
Chubbs ❤️
It’s been said that people come into our lives for either a reason, a season, or a lifetime. How incredibly blessed a person is to discover that one person embodies all three. My dear friend Chubbs did just that. He left this earth on December 4th, called home to Glory with an end to over … Continue reading Chubbs ❤️
Good Friday, Great Friday
Good Friday is not recognized as a holiday by my company, which means I do not get the day off. To be fair, I don’t NEED the day off. I consider myself a religious person, but I’m Presbyterian. That’s not to say that this day isn’t important, it just means I don’t spend the entire … Continue reading Good Friday, Great Friday
The Madness of March
It's 10pm on a Friday night, and I'm sitting in my office just staring at a blank screen. Ok, I was just staring. Obviously I've started typing. There are too many jumbled thoughts just swishing around in my brain to not find some way to let them out, to make sense of the madness. I've … Continue reading The Madness of March
The Girl Done Went and Done It!
For about 19 years now, I've been doing my best at being a good mom to the precious angels God entrusted to me. It's more than just teaching them to talk, walk, read, write, play sports, drive, cook, clean, and dress themselves. HAHAHA The labor of love that is being a parent is so much … Continue reading The Girl Done Went and Done It!
Things Change, Life Goes On
Tonight is my last night on St. Pete Beach. It’s the end of a beautiful week spent making memories with my family. I don’t believe I’ve ever been so disappointed that it’s Friday. But more than that, it is the last night I’ll ever spend in the hotel that has been a staple of our … Continue reading Things Change, Life Goes On
Happy Birthday to Me!
As I’m writing this, we are one week away from “ME Day,” also known as my birthday. My daughter said to me this afternoon, “Mom, you really are obsessed with your birthday.” You know what? I am! But let me tell you why. For me, birthdays aren’t about lamenting the growing number of candles on … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me!
Goodbye, 2020
The clock is ticking through the final hours of this crazy, mixed-up year. I’m laying in my bedroom, half watching a Hallmark Christmas movie, and half daydreaming about the new year and the hope it brings. It’s really just an arbitrary moment in time, but hanging that new calendar always gives me a sense of … Continue reading Goodbye, 2020
The Greatest Lie Ever Told
As children, we are taught that lying is wrong. Honesty is the best policy. We are expected to tell the truth. As adults, we know that isn’t always the case. Sometimes we need to bend the truth or tell a little white lie to protect the people we care about. Most adults are guilty of … Continue reading The Greatest Lie Ever Told
