Well, I am oh-so-happy to say that we had a little bit of unexpected excitement around here this past weekend. Mississippi State won the SEC Baseball Tournament here in Birmingham (well, technically ...
This post by Emily Freeman? Gorgeous. And true. Share:
So here’s what we’ve been doing. I mean, we haven’t been just staring at a scoreboard. But we have been watching the Bulldogs play in the SEC Baseball Tournament this week. And I do...
We started tonight’s episode of The Bachelorette with Emily establishing that it takes a village to raise a Ricki. It really is fascinating to think that all their real-life stuff was still goi...
Listen. I don’t know what I’ve been doing, really. I mean, I’ve been working, and that has been a little more time consuming than it normally is. And I’ve been watching Man vs...
So I’m sitting here watching The Bachelorette, and I figure this is as good a time as any to jot down a few of my initial observations. The only reason I feel remotely safe sticking my toes int...
The topic is Smash. And I wrote about it over at Ree’s blog. Just thought I’d let you know in case you’re interested. But if you’re not interested, please feel free to continu...
1. Right now Phillip Phillips and Joshua Ledet are my top two on American Idol. I’d be perfectly happy for either one of them to win. I triple liked Phillip’s performance of “Volcan...
One night a few months ago I sat down with the little man to say prayers before he went to bed, and after some end-of-the-day observations – including but not limited to a declaration of the de...
Tonight has been one of those times when Facebook has pulled me into its stifling vortex and refused to relinquish its hold. I don’t know why I barely glance at FB for weeks and then suddenly f...
Normally I set aside a pretty good chunk of time on the weekends to work on writing stuff. So far it’s been the best way to keep making forward progress without adding to the busy-ness of the w...
I am a big-time creature of habit when it comes to jewelry. Almost every single day I wear hoop earrings, my wedding rings, and that’s-it-the-end. Occasionally I’ll wear a bracelet, but I...
Once or twice a month I’ll get an email from someone who’s planning a vacation and wondering if I have any recommendations about where to stay / where to eat / what to do in the Gulf Shor...
I’m not sure what this tendency says about me and the very particular nature of my crazy, but sometimes, when I really want to procrastinate, I like to click over to the YouTube and search for ...
I was just reading the Twitter a little while ago – as I so often do when I’m procrastinating – and a friend of mine reminded me of something that I haven’t thought of in year...
So here’s what I’ve realized over the course of my bloggy break: I am absolutely, positively, full-to-the-dadgum-brim sick of myself. There you have it. Writing the book has been a bunch ...
I’ve mentioned before that I fall right in the middle of introvert and extrovert on the Myers-Briggs. My brain can’t seem to decide if it’s more inclined to I or E, but the good new...
I thought American Idol was so great last night. And while yes, Colton was pretty much brilliant (such a gorgeous arrangement of his song), Joshua was the one who really blew me away. I loved everyth...
So I was all prepared tonight to tell y’all about a new book by Pete Wilson called Empty Promises, but then I went looking for a link on the Twitter and one of Pete’s tweets totally sidet...
Well, I sat down to write a little recap of our weekend and now have absolutely no recollection of what we did Friday. Oh, wait. I just remembered. The little guy went over to a friend’s house Friday...
- The Easter Conundrum (Confession) – Jen Hatmaker Jen’s post is challenging, heartbreaking, inspiring, and convicting. Oh, is it ever. - Be Loved – Christy Nockels This song has me...
First of all, I totally forgot to draw for the winners in the Dave Barnes Stories to Tell giveaway. So here are our winners. And who are those lucky (PROVIDENTIAL) winners? Well, I will tell you. 258...
I have one eye on the National Championship game and another eye on the computer, so I thought this would be an excellent time to share some pictures from my phone. Oh, we can pretend that there̵...
Well, right now I’m watching the ACM Awards and cooking supper. I’m running a little behind schedule, but that’s not a bad thing since watching the ACM Awards affords me the opportu...
- Slow Cooker Brownie Pudding Cake I’ve never been more sorry that I gave up sugar for Lent. But I’m gonna tell you what: come Easter Sunday, we are gonna have a crock pot that is filled ...
Today about 25 of Mama’s friends surprised her with an 80th birthday luncheon. It was such a fun way to celebrate my sweet mama, and I would show you loads of pictures if 90% of the ones I took...
Hey there, internet peoples - So. I was just thinking. It’s been absolutely gorgeous here in Alabama today, and I am of the firm belief that springtime begs for great music to go with it. Which...
We just got home from the beach. And while a pesky bout of insomnia kept me up most of last night (was anybody else watching The Bodyguard on Lifetime in the wee hours of the morning?), I’m so ...
You know how you tend to be drawn to different music at different times in your life? Well, you can only imagine how surprised I’ve been to discover that during this particular time in my life ...
You know how sometimes you’ll try on something when you’re shopping and go back and forth about whether you should buy it and then decide not to buy it but then a few days later you wish ...
