I need one of these: Not for a room.  But for me. I told my husband the other day that I felt like I was drowning and I wasn’t anywhere near water.  That’s just how my life was feeling.  I was completely maxed out. Being short-staffed at work.  The usual responsibilities at home.  New responsibilities

There has been one time in history when being late was super cool…and it involved Jesus and a guy named Lazarus.  You can read the story for yourself in John 11.  (I guess, technically, Jesus wasn’t really late because it was all part of the plan anyway…but you get my point.) Other than that –

There are a few things that are really hard for me to resist:  A bowl of chips with salsa at a Mexican restaurant. A cup of coffee.   And last but certainly not least, when my nephews or niece want something.  If their Uncle Lance and Nana/Aunty Newy can make it happen, and their parents

The first year of my marriage, I had one primary prayer: “God, please change Lance.  Amen.” Who needs a long, drawn out request?  I just knew that if God would fix my husband, all of our problems would be solved. Yeah…it turns out that wasn’t accurate.  At all. That was the prayer of a girl

Out of the mouths of babes…and teenagers. I recently hosted a baby shower for a close friend but began preparing months in advance for it, along with the other hosts. A mound of supplies was slowly but surely overtaking my home office. About a month before the shower, a young friend had noticed the stock pile and all the

This recipe from the Pioneer Woman had me at “Simple” and “Enchiladas”. We love us some Mexican food here in Texas and this recipe does not disappoint! This one is a keeper in my house. My only changes/suggestions: cut down on the green onions and to make it healthier, don’t fry the tortillas. I just

What is your kryptonite? If you didn’t grow up watching “Superman”, you have no idea what I am talking about.  Kryptonite was the one thing that would weaken Superman’s powers. I may not have superpowers but I know there are certain things I try to avoid because it isn’t what is best for me. For

 I was surprised when I looked at my calendar this particular day…not because of my nephew’s game…the other thing. “Text mom/dad you’re proud of them!” Huh?? Of course, I am proud of my parents but I didn’t have any particular plans that day to text them that. Then, I quickly realized, it was my husband

As we get older, we get wiser. For example, I’ve learned that I need a day off after the spring time change. Can I get a witness? Every year, it’s the same thing: spring forward an hour, be cranky the rest of the week.  Apparently, it was started to help the farmers out. All I know is

I’m a Texas girl.  Born & raised.  I’ve lived in the Dallas area since I was 2 years old and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.  I love my city…I know my city…well, at least I thought I did. Recently,  I’ve ventured out to a few different parts of town where I hadn’t been before.
