As fate would have it, I had actually gone to see my mother for the first time in months the day I was to receive the invitation to her lingerie shower. We hadn’t seen each other or talked in a long time, and while I knew she was engaged, I didn’t know any of the [...]

A little riddle for you on this fine Thursday afternoon – What do you get when you take Instant Krazy Glue and add in me plus squeezing the tube too hard minus common sense multiplied by my hand being far too close to the glue divided by my finger stuck to my hand? If you [...]

I have two huge events at work this week that are requiring all of my available brain cells. In other words, today is a survey day. Also: it just took me three attempts to figure out how to spell the word “survey.” Send more brain cells, stat. 1. What is your favorite thing to snack [...]

If you’ll remember, cupcakes, I took my darling little Avi to see Disney on Ice last week!  As soon as I got off work, I picked her up and we headed to downtown Chattanooga for dinner and the show.  Who doesn’t love downtown? Here’s a photo from my phone during dinner.  I had to take [...]

When I was in Memphis a few weeks ago, we happened to drive past a field of cotton. I was amazed by what I was seeing out my window, so my friend Kelly offered to pull the car over so I could take a closer look. I got out and walked into the field, stopping [...]

I have a question for you, my loves. What little girl… wouldn’t like being put in a long white dress… and asked to play along the shoreline? There may very well be a little girl who wouldn’t like it. But, if there is, I’ve yet to meet her. – — – I was going to [...]
