2007. It was a good year. But I don’t ever really think of any year as bad. Each year that I’m alive and happy has got to be considered good, right? Of course, every year has it share of hurts and disappointments. There are years that bring more hurt than others. The death of a [...]

It was late, the open highway stretched out in front of us, the car was quiet, and all three girls were asleep. But one little boy was awake. A little boy whose 5 year old mind was still working, despite the late hour. A little boy who evidently watches way too much TV, and even [...]

Congratulations Martha! You are the winner of my 100th post contest! And the new owner of a brand new TV! Get your address to me and you can ring in the New Year watching the ball drop on 15 inches of LCD flatness!

Well, here it is. The much anticipated and long awaited Christmas Tour of Homes, hosted by the Southern hostess with the mostess, Boomama.
