Sometimes the internet can be ugly

Last week, when I posted my first vlog, I received this anonymous comment: When I first saw it, I was shocked. I quickly logged into my account and sent it to the trash. I’d like to say that I brushed it off and it didn’t affect me. But I promptly left work, drove to chick-fil-a and inhaled their … ... [Read more...]

Vlog: Questions Answered #1

I would have posted this sooner. Then I realized it took me twenty minutes to record all my answers. And since NOBODY wants to watch a 20 minute vlog I knew I would have to figure out how to edit a video. I had no earthly idea how to do it. But I kinda sorta figured it out last night (yay for … ...

There’s a new man in my life

See that guy above? That’s Dave Ramsey. He’s the new man in my life. Or I should say OUR lives. Naaman and I took a leap of faith and enrolled in Financial Peace University.

Correction: I have talked a lot about it to him. I am confused at the feeling of wanting another child. No … ... [Read more...]

Welcome to Landon & Brigham’s playroom! As you can see it’s still not entirely finished. I want to make a cute cushion for the big toy box to create a neat little reading nook. I also tried to buy red tie-up curtains the other day but they looked awful. I’ve decided that we need red Roman shades … ... [Read more...]

Landon’s Room Reveal

Finally! It’s time to reveal Landon’s bedroom. It only took, oh, three months. Hey, at least it’s done! Like I told you I am not a designer. But this room has my heart in it. When we visited this house before it was even ours he told us he wanted a “planet” room. He loves the solar system. Far be it … ... [Read more...]

Dear Sonic

I know it’s been awhile since we last saw each other. I was so hurt by what happened a month ago. I guess that’s why I needed some space. I came to see you before leaving for my out-of-town work meeting and I asked you for my usual. I was shocked by the hurtful words that came out of your mouth. You … ... [Read more...]

Remember how I was telling you guys that I didn’t have a sponsor? Try try again, as they say. I applied for a partial … ... [Read more...]
