We are now two weeks in to quarantine due to the COVID-19 virus and I could write for days about the things that are weird, different and hard. Many of us have had to give up and grieve over events and freedoms that we typically have and are now missing. Personally, this is a sad… Continue reading #FamilyReunion – Thanks to COVID-19
Often the “Memories” that facebook kindly reminds you of can be really bittersweet. Some pictures take you back to the exact moment you took it… I remember this like it was 2 minutes ago and it makes my tummy hurt a little just thinking about it. This was the original post that went with the picture: In our… Continue reading #backToSchool – “Mrs. Hans”
It was reported all week that we would have BIG RAIN this morning – and all day long. So- last night we turned off our alarms and planned to sleep in (I was sooooooo excited!). I woke up at 7:49am to see a text from our daughter (these days she’s better known as “Luke Thomas’ mommy”)… Continue reading #PutMeInCoach – April 21, 2018
Well, this “January 7th” went a totally different direction than we had planned…and I’m honestly trying to be “ok” with it (but I’m not there yet). For weeks, we have been looking forward to our family being all together this weekend to FINALLY “Celebrate Christmas”. I did all the shopping on line (after the 25th)… Continue reading A Different Christmas…and January 7th. #notAFanOfTheFlu
#ftf = Favorite Things Friday! Traditions tend to be a big deal in our family. I’ve often joked that we could never do something cool just once – since one of us would claim it needed to be done again, since it was now a “tradition”. Some of my favorite (legit) traditions involve “First Day… Continue reading #ftf – FirstDayOfSchoolTraditions
My sweet Mom turns 80 years old today! I love that she’s still active and loving life – and most of all that she loves GIRLFRIENDS and a good PAR-TAY! With that in mind, her family put together a little gathering of sweet friends. We invited them to the Chocolate Angel Tea Room for lunch… Continue reading #Happy80thMom – July 2017
ftf – “Favorite Things Friday”…and this one CERTAINLY qualifies! It’s been a long 5 months. Earlier today my daughter (along with her husband) shared a really authentic post about what they have been through the last few years, and specifically since the start of 2017. While Tom and I (and other members of our family)… Continue reading #ftf – Redeemed Marriages
Our daughter got engaged a few weeks ago and when the wedding date was set for 6 months later our family went in to “panic mode” with wanting to feel and look better before the big day. The start date of June 1st was announced and we all agreed that we would do a round… Continue reading #DatingWhileDoingWhole30 – June 11, 2017
This past weekend was a BIG one for our family. Well, not just “big”…HUGE! After a quick change from the original plan, our daughter’s sweet boyfriend became her FIANCE! It’s a fun, sweet story (one I hope to document on another day), but today I want to talk about a conversation I had with my dad…a… Continue reading #IsAJtheone – April 8, 2016
I’m blessed to work with amazing people – daily I’m inspired by individuals that are living into their gifting and blessing others by it. One of those is my friend, Tyrone, who happens to be the Worship Pastor at the church I work at and attend. I fell in love with Ty when he came to… Continue reading #ftf – Tyrone
