Oh my word, y'all! How has it been over a week since I last wrote? I wish I could tell you it's because I've been busy decorating for the holidays and I have some easy but awesome ideas to share ... or because I was inspired to start sewing again ... or because Scott had whisked me off for a week-long trip to the mountains. {A girl can dream, right?} But really, all that's been happening here is the same mundane stuff of life that you deal with also. As I sit here looking out the window at ... [Read More]
For Your Weekend {modest is hottest edition}
I'm all about some cute clothes ... even if I can't take a good selfie for anything. And I'm also all about some cute and modest clothes for my girl. Many of you loved this week's post featuring Casiday's adorable outfits so you can definitely expect more of that. In fact, we're brainstorming a few ideas about mother/daughter styling. And since this week has also had its fair share of stress and anxiety about social media, I thought I'd share some of the great resources I've found lately for ... [Read More]
Yik Yak … Yuck {Notes from an Overprotective Mom}
Three days ago I heard about Yik Yak because I am one of "those moms." You know, the ones who monitor my child's phone and social media and online activity. I downloaded the app to see what it contained and I was horrified by the language and attitudes displayed. I wasn't surprised that students in my daughter's high school cussed and were disrespectful of teachers. I wasn't even shocked at the graphic nature of "yaks" about sexual acts. Let's face it, all of that is on prime time television and ... [Read More]
WIWW Teenage Girl Fashion Edition
Last month was so crazy and busy with big scary projects and lots of ball games. I have to be honest, I only got out of my yoga pants if I had to go to a ball game or to church. Please say you understand and that you have days {weeks, months??} where the same sort of thing happens to you. The good news is, I still have photos to share with you because my sweet girl has such cute style ... and I wanted to highlight some of her recent outfits. Sometimes it seems like all we hear is how ... [Read More]
More Like James
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have wondered about the story behind photos like these ... I realized recently I hadn't ever explained how we came to have this precious person in our home. James is Scott's great-uncle. He is 63 and has Down Syndrome. His mother {Scott's great-grandmother} passed away in 1996 and since then James has lived with various members of the family including his sisters and cousins both here in Alabama and in Arkansas. Since July, he's been with us ... and it ... [Read More]
What I Learned in October
Whew ... October is over. JV football season has ended and while our Varsity team is headed to play-offs, my girl and her squad are now practicing basketball cheers. I can't believe how fast this school year is going. We're past mid-terms and looking ahead to Christmas break. Honestly, October wasn't the best month ever. In fact, it was pretty hard. It wasn't difficult for me to switch the calendar to November this year. But, looking back, I realize I did learn a few things. 1. ... [Read More]
