#ftf – Favorite Things Friday: sometimes I write about things (but usually people) that are my favorite!                     I have this friend…her name is Connie.  While I love to claim her as “my friend”, the truth is that I love that so many others claim her as well.  She is one of those people that… Continue reading #ftf – Connie

A Year Without Sheri – (aka: A #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER update) – June 18, 2020

Our sweet friend Sheri died one year ago today. I typically don’t use the phrase “we lost her” because we know where she is…in heaven with her Savior, Jesus. I remember the phone ringing early in the morning and Tom jumping up to run to the hospital to be with her husband. The day before… Continue reading A Year Without Sheri – (aka: A #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER update) – June 18, 2020

#ftf = Favorite “Things” Friday!  (Most of the time I write about people!) One of the “perks” of my job is the blessing of being surrounded by amazing women. Women of all different ages and phases of life.  I love that I know that I can learn from all of them. My friend, Erin, is a… Continue reading #ftf – Erin

Sheri’s Memorial Service was held at our church and was a beautiful celebration of her life as well as the truth that she was now with… Continue reading #sheri – (Part 3) #fiveOverFiftyFOREVER

#sheri – (Part 2)

Yesterday I processed through some thoughts on the death of my sweet friend, Sheri. To get caught up: feel free to click here. Sheri died on a Tuesday (which our #tribe all thought was appropriate because that has always been “our day” to meet/gather). It was crazy to think about what she was experiencing that morning –… Continue reading #sheri – (Part 2)

#Sheri (part 1)

If you are a close friend (and/or see me on social media), you have heard about my friend – Sheri. Sheri has been part of my #tribe and a close personal friend for many years.  We have been in each other’s lives for almost two decades, but have truly “done life together” on a deep and intimate… Continue reading #Sheri (part 1)

While I haven’t posted on this blog in months (and have a LOT to document – like a new #grandgirl), I want to make sure I record this day – cause it’s been a long time coming! I have a #tribe – a group of incredible women that I do life with.  We call ourselves… Continue reading #WhenAGirlFINALLYwantsABiscuit – January 29, 2019

#pieForBreakfast – with “TheWomen”

I have these friends…I call them “The Women”. At some point, years ago, we talked about calling ourselves that because we all watched our mothers (or women before us) have women in their lives that were known for hosting showers, bringing meals, celebrating babies/grandbabies, attending weddings and parties, etc.  Basically, they were the dependable ones in… Continue reading #pieForBreakfast – with “TheWomen”

#Happy80thMom – July 2017

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

#aLittleSomethingForMyMOMSGroup – April 2017

This past week, in the MOMS group that I’m apart of, we had all of the “Mentor Moms” (older women that have lived through the baby/preschool phase of life and want to offer encouragement to the younger women still in it) share some “Words of Wisdom”.  These Mentor Moms were asked to share a life changing… Continue reading #aLittleSomethingForMyMOMSGroup – April 2017
