I’m in Salt Lake at Snap!, a blogging conference for crafty and DIY bloggers. I’m rooming with my dear friend and amazing jewelry designer Lisa Leonard and having a blast. But, I must say, I miss my morning snuggles with Adeline. She has been getting up EARLY so we have had some special Mommy/Adeline time. [...]

This weekend I was in Kansas City supporting my friends Ann and Angie at Women of Faith. It was a great, quick getaway weekend. I left Friday night after work and got home yesterday at 8:30 am. As much fun as I had in Kansas City, I couldn’t wait to be home with my sweet [...]

As you know, this past weekend I was in Indianapolis for Influence. I opted not to go to every session. Instead I carved out lots of time for me. I spent quiet hours in my hotel room writing. I wandered the huge mall that was attached to the hotel by myself. I stopped in Aveda [...]

This past weekend the kids and I have been visiting my family in WI. This gave Matthew a few days to prepare for being out of the country for 10 days and us a great way to end the summer. One of the trip highlights was taking Elias fishing at a small pond that my [...]

My friend Ann stayed with us this weekend, and it was a glorious gift. Since she lives in Canada, our quality time together is limited, so we made the most of this weekend. We stayed up late, shopped til we dropped, ate great food (I made these banana blueberry muffins (amazing), this cinnamon roll breakfast [...]

I am TGIFing in a major big way today. I have big plans for this weekend. We are taking Elias to the Vanderbilt baseball game on Saturday. He is so excited to see “big guys” play baseball, though he doesn’t quite understand why he can’t play too. The weather has been so beautiful in Nashville. [...]

I hope that y’all had a fabulous Easter weekend. We sure did. We did an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, church on Sunday and then friends came over for a yummy dinner last night. I’m looking forward to some normalcy this week – can I get an amen? Between spring break last week and then [...]

This weekend, my parents visited. Matthew captured this photo. I love it. Three generations of strong women. My mom. Me. Adeline. It has been so nice to have my mom here. She helped me organize closets and do that big kids’ clothing transition from fall/winter to spring/summer (it took hours!). She folded lots of socks [...]

Last week, Matthew and I had the pleasure to going to a charity event for Porter’s Call. (We have been trying to have more date nights – they are so important!) It was an evening of stories featuring Vince Gill, Andy Gullahorn and Nichole Nordeman. Y’all, I LOVE Nichole, and we are honored to call [...]

Because I am still nursing full-time, Adeline went with me to Atlanta this past weekend. (Our freezer stockpile is in the single digits!) I am one of those moms who does not have a problem nursing in public places, though I try to always do it as discretely as possible – sitting in the back [...]
