It's time to say goodbye. Over the past three years this space has meant a great deal to me. And so have all of you. For many reasons I have decided it is time to close down blythe and bonnie. I am s...
I'm not naming any names, but someone thinks sending a photo in a Christmas card is a stupid idea.
Canon is engaged. Yep. The date is set for "when they grow up." He has the same last name, which she thinks is just perfect. But it's kind of a secret. They want to wait until it's closer to the date...
Trying to let working with the guy who just might be the next Heisman winner (and of course...the Bronko Nagurksi Trophy winner) make up for being referred to as "ma'am" 50 times by some high school ...
We bought a fire pit last weekend. The girls want to know why we can't "camp" every night."Camping" has led to an obsession with marshmallows. Elly arranged two hundred of them all over the floor thi...
I have this new headband that I love. And I wear it with this dress, which I also love. But truth be told, Alex has no love for the headband. At a recent cocktail party he spent quite a bit of time p...
Just rain on a leaf, but it made me happy. Happy Wednesday.
So...I think I have mentioned (a time or two) that I am a fan of The Avett Brothers who happen to be from my hometown. I wasn't living here when they were playing for church functions and wedding rec...
This time each year I am temporarily inducted into a semi-exclusive boys' club. Nearly everyone I deal with for my freelance job is involved with college or professional football. I guess you probabl...
Last week when Elly and I were playing with the camera, I asked her to show me her "big smile." Apparently there has been some progression.Ummm....at least her eyes are open now. I seriously need to ...
Our Halloween was awesome (as usual)! Hope yours was, too!
I always forget how much I love the camera timer. We hurry to get in our spots. Hold a cheesy pose. Race to see what it looks like. Laugh when we see the wonky angles and crazy crops.I'm not sure if ...
Lately I've been lusting for an old farm house. With cold, creaky wooden floors and a screen door that slams shut with a startling bang. Curtains that partner with passing breezes for friendly dances...
She is quirky and cooky. She's pretty talented at faking a fit if she doesn't get her way, but she is hardly ever in bad mood. She brings a bit of whimsy into our little family. For her...burps, toot...
I followed A Year of Mornings before it became a book. And that is where I really fell in love with diptychs. They catch my eye everywhere.
The room is dimly lit, mostly by lava lamp. I'm sitting on a plush black leather corner couch. Occasionally I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirrored wall. There is shouting on the other side of th...
Thirty seemed like the beginning of a new chapter in my life. From that point I thought I would start reclaiming pieces of myself day by day, bit by bit. But somehow I woke up and a year has passed. ...
A little yellow leaf sailed to a soft landing right in front of my feet. I think Mother Earth was sending me a personal announcement of Fall's arrival. Thank you, Mother; I've been waiting.
I hate to brag, but I am doing super awesome in kindergarten.
Campus is a time machine. Cobblestones, tree branches and window panes reminding me of the choices I made then, the blueprint for my life that I was so excited about. Since then I have made so many c...
