Life as I know it in Rural America.
I recently made a cake for Milli’s birthday, which was sort of a big deal, because while I love to bake, I rarely have time, now that the tiny human is mobile, and even if I did, I rarely make cakes. For her cake this year, I made a simple white bunt cake, but I Read More …
Our tiny human had her 2nd birthday yesterday. Maybe it’s the lack of hair, or that she’s not consistently sleeping through the night yet, but it’s a bit hard to believe that she’s already 2. Milli is a fabulously smart and loving little girl. She loves to give everyone hugs and cuddles (especially mommy and Read More …
I’m pretty proud of myself for making it 8 weeks into LaShawn’s #EyeCandyProject52 photography challenge without missing a photo yet.

Particularly when the only real rules in your employee handbook are “no jeans” and “no shorts.” Fortunately, I’ve found myself a bit of a recipe for looking good at work and still being comfortable. A well tailored pair of pants (or skirt… I love Read More …
It’s a new month and time for another TBB Asks. This month’s theme is relationships. So let’s get right to it and talk about them. Oldest Friend My oldest friend — well, let’s call her the friend I’ve had the longest, because she is my age and certainly not the oldest, is my friend Kayci. Read More …
I’m trying my hand at doing LaShawn Wiltz’s #EyeCandyProject52 photography challenge this year. I’ve finished up the 1st 4 weeks of the challenge and wanted to share my images with you. Week 1 You in the Beginning For this challenge, I went with the obvious… a selfie. Week 2 Morning For the morning challenge, I Read More …
