The PCP was just thrilled to leave yesterday’s game with the game ball. 
And while I’d never tell him this, (I mean, what good is a mother if she’s not the kid’s biggest fan?!?) I knew it wasn’t the best game he’d played all season. So later that afternoon when he said “Coach S didn’t give me the game ball because I played the best. He gave it to me because my attitude was the best” I couldn’t have been more proud. It was a tough game and a hard loss but he’s right…he DID have a great attitude through and through. It’s moments like that when I think maybe, just maybe, we’re doing something right :-) xoxo

At Long Last
At long last, I have finally completed the project for which I originally purchased my Annie Sloan Duck Egg Blue Chalk paint…nearly a year ago! I piddled around with a mirror, a frame, a monogram, a chair and odds and ends and finally bit the bullet and painted the dresser for the baby’s big boy… Read More
The TECH Game
Saturday in the South in the fall can pretty much be summed up by one word…FOOTBALL! And the PCP was beyond excited to attend the Tech vs Miami game with his daddy yesterday. (Sporting his team signed tee, no less!) When I’d not seen hide nor hair of them by seven thirty, I inquired as… Read More
