My Girl
She is an anomaly. Anomaly means something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected. She isn’t any of those nouns or adverbs! Whatever conundrum she faces – she figures out a way to jump over it or crawl under it, go through it or embrace it. God broke the mold when He made…
And They Lived Happily Ever After
I’m still sappy during this Love Month. I felt like a Queen Mother after Prince Charming (my son) showed up with a bouquet of flowers (intentional with yellow roses – his dad and my favorites), then rushed to open the car door to take me on a Valentine’s lunch date. He gave me full attention…
These Shoes Feel Like Slippers
DSW Shoes sent me an email with the subject line: “These Shoes Feel Like Slippers!” I know advertising ploys and that one was supposed to entice me to check out that ad, but sorry, DSW! I wasn’t tempted. But, thank you, DSW, because you gave me food for thought for this blog today. Pictured here…
And They Lived Happily Ever After
My favorite fairy tale is still “Cinderella”. The prince falls in loves with Cinderella. He searches the kingdom for her and slides the glass slipper on her foot like an engagement ring. Next comes the story ending: “And they lived happily ever after.” NOT! Sweet imagination, but NOT reality. It’s not how real life stories…
Are You a Captain Nobody or Captain Somebody?
While his Mom and Dad are away, Bryson and I read a lot. Right now it’s a book called “Captain Nobody.” The 10-year old, Newt, in this story, is perplexed because Halloween is coming and he can’t think of a superhero to be. He doesn’t want to be one of the same-o superheroes we all…
“THE END — And They Lived Happily Ever After”
That’s the big finale of most Disney movies and so it was for us. Our Disney journey came to an end last night, and of course we will live happily ever after….well, once we cross over to heaven, that is. But for now, we’ll carry so many precious memories from 10 years ago (yesterday morning…
The Happiest Place on Earth
Disney World — it’s supposed to be the happiest place on earth — but I guess it depends on who’s saying it and feeling it. That’s where the Wallace’s and I are heading today. I know it’s a stretch to think I would be interrupting my Lenten “desert” and solemnity for going to that fantasy/magical/wonder/pixie…
Courage, Kindness, Friendship & Loyalty Go A Long Way
Day 199 of Photo Inspirations — Courage, Kindness, Friendship & Loyalty Go A Long Way I don’t watch movies with violence, immorality or crude language in them. Quite frankly, I do my best to keep my mind in a place of serenity, joy, morality and sweetness. I know that’s an ooey gooey girly mindset, but…
Our One-of-A-Kind Shoes Made By THE Designer
“Give a gal the right shoes and she can conquer the world” — Marilyn Monroe. That quote, and, especially that adorable little girl prancing around in her Mama’s shoes, sure does bring a smile to my face. Little girls just want to be like their Mamas. But, there’s something about us BIG girls that want…
