This Fashion Friday edition is brought to you by my current foster love…. One day this summer Little Miss looked at me and said, “I’m not going to call you Ms. Brooke anymore. I’m going to call you my Llama Mama!” She giggled her sweet little giggles and cracked herself up and … [Read more...]
Hey Mom, What is that Smell?
As each of my kids walked in the house from school on Friday they sniffed the air and smiled, “Mom, what is that smell? Oh my gosh!!!! It smells so good in here!” It reminded them of something happy that they couldn’t quite put their finger on, and they tried and tried so hard … [Read more...]
This Broken Life…Why would anyone say Yes to Foster Care?
Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Georgia. Sunshine and flip-flops in February. It was one of those days when, as a proud southern woman, you know without a doubt why so many people move to the south. A day where you see people out walking the neighborhood, kids laughing … [Read more...]
If a man does laundry….
If a man does laundry, but doesn’t leave it out for a woman to see, did it really happen? That is the question of the day. My 14 year old son knocked on my bedroom door, “Mom, Dad sent me to get some hangers. Can I come in?” I blinked. Twice. Was I dreaming? Did that … [Read more...]

Fear in God’s light…
As I was checking out at Target last week, Bryce climbed up on the edge of the counter, peered over, and started, “Can I pweese have a ring?” The clerk looked confused. I rolled my eyes, “Buddy, that’s the grocery store. They don’t have rings here.” He continued, undaunted, … [Read more...]
Why eyebrows?
Last week I had a jewelry show and Coach had practice, so our oldest was babysitting. I kept my phone close at hand just in case. Just before I started my show, I noticed that I had a text. Anxious that it may be one of the kids, I skimmed over it checking for blood… It was my … [Read more...]
Fit Friday…Zoodles!
I keep seeing lots of posts on how to substitute healthy foods for not so healthy ones. Cauliflower for mashed potatoes… Spaghetti squash for pasta... Zucchini for everything… Skeptical, I laugh and think, “Don’t mess with my mashed potatoes!” Last week, I decided … [Read more...]
