It sounds cliche, but it seems like yesterday that I was gathered around the small, fuzzy television in the largest conference room at work standing horrified and shocked as the events of 9.11.11 unfolded. I will never forget that day, the aftermath, the heroes, the loved ones lost and the country and world so saddened and shocked by such outward and senseless horror. 
The tvs and radios will stay off today, as we are still not ready to broach the subject of terrorism with John (and certainly not Whit.) But, like last year and the ten years before that, I will carry a heavy heart. Our great country is exceptional, but not invincible. We must never forget. xoxo

Great Books for Boys {43 Reader Recommended Series}
John is an extremely capable reader and we struggle with finding “just right” books (content and level wise) for him. Add to the mix that he doesn’t even like reading (or so he claims) and we’ve been in quite a pickle. You see, Honey and I are both avid readers and would love to see… Read More
Caramel Apple Pie
It’s fall, y’all! Time for apple picking, cider sipping and hay rides. Yeah right. It’s pushing ninety degrees here in the South and hotter and sunnier than it’s been since May. Not that I’m complaining! I made my first apple pie of the season last weekend to go with our BBQ feast, and thought it high time I share… Read More
How Glorious
We posed for family photos a few weeks back and, while the whole process of getting everyone dressed and smiling is always arduous, when they hit my inbox I am inevitably overcome with emotion. I could not be more thankful, more grateful or more fulfilled for having these three in my life. Filling the… Read More
