My niece Amy is getting married in a couple of months. It’s hard to believe that she’s all grown up. She was the cutest toddler. She had these curly blonde ringlets and beautiful blue-green eyes. And the sunniest personality, just…

Daddy and Daughters
Sometimes it is hard to believe that I ever had daughters. It took us so long to have another child after our boy. I never dreamt that it would be two at once. I will never forget the moment they…
A Little Sassy Update
I wanted to give y’all a little update about what’s been going on in my personal life. It seems like I’ve been blogging here and there and not really letting my readers know what I’ve been up to lately. No…
How Lucky I Am
Someone in California was sold the winning Powerball ticket. I can’t even fathom how their life is going to change. We didn’t even get one single number in the two tickets that we purchased. We had fun…
I Guess it Was a Half Marathon
Have you ever walked a half marathon with a stomach virus? Well, I don’t recommend that you try it anytime soon! I trained this summer and fall with a group of ladies from my neighborhood. We all have kids of…

A Yellow Rose
I’ve gotten to the point in life that I am having to attend a lot of funerals. It’s not exactly something that I look forward to but in some unexpected ways, they’ve become a place of comfort. My earliest memory…
Women Who Inspire
I often hesitate to use the word “inspiring” as a description of an event. People are inspired by so many different things. Yesterday, at Women in the World Texas, it was very apparent that…
Why ALS Research Matters
I’ve probably seen hundreds of ALS Ice Bucket Challenges show up on my various social media feeds by now. I’ve only actually clicked on just a handful. It’s not because I don’t care. I think the #IceBucketChallenge may go down…
Flowers in Abundance
I’ve been walking by this single white rose since Friday. I brought it home from a funeral I attended and put it in a little vase. The husband asked the congregation to take some flowers with them as they exited…
