We leave for cheer camp today ... the girl is equal parts excited, exhausted, and edgy. I can't wait for lemonade at Toomer's this evening! {Did I mention the two moms I'm sharing a hotel room with this week are both Alabama fans ... and we'll be in Auburn??

And the "loveliest village on the plains" is also a beautiful place to be.} Anyway, this post isn't really about my affection for ... [Read More]
14 Things I Want My 14-Year-Old Daughter to Know {Part 2}

I don't loathe watching all the cheesy Disney movies. And I know how to make a mean tie-dye waffle.
