If you’re hoping for another funny story about flying with all our boys, you are sort of in luck. 😉 This photo is us waiting at baggage claim at 11:30 pm, filing claims for lost luggage–on New Year’s Eve. Happy New Year to us! Hang with me, this is a long one… Upon our arrival to the South, we realized we were missing a bag. We reported it, and 10 days later, that bag was still missing. That’s unusual. Airlines […]
» Read moreChristmas vacation was exactly what I think I needed. It was so refreshing to spend time with our families. I was horribly selfish. I slept late every single morning. No, really. One day, I actually slept until 1:00pm. No kidding! I did almost no work at all. None. I sat on sofas, opened presents galore, drank copious amounts of flavored coffee and let other people chase J.D. around. You can’t pour sweet tea from a broken pitcher, and this Momma […]
» Read moreWhen you travel cross-country for Christmas with four squirmy little boys, there are lots of opportunities to rub elbows with the general public. I’m a little different than some parents, because I TRULY enjoy these opportunities to be out, even with my children in tow. I love people! I miss people! We’ve all read a whole lot of internet articles of parents complaining about things people say to them and their children in public! They complain about comments like […]
» Read moreWe are packing for a nine day trip. Don’t worry. No one can rob us. While we are gone, we have a house sitter, so I feel bold enough to share this. Who do you think does the packing in a house of five males and one woman? Call me sexist, I don’t care. The answer is Me. I will naturally be handling this. Don’t short change Alan, though. If you haven’t figured this out yet, he does MOST of […]

We moved to California last year, and it has been a blast. Yes, there has also been culture shock too. I’m here to tell ya all about this new place. ********* “I can’t sleep. I’m just so excited about Granddaddy and Nana!” You might say this was a really big deal! Here is their visit, according to Granddaddy’s phone. Dad let me email myself all the pictures I wanted. Thanks, Dad!! 🙂 Alan took the boys wet suit shopping. Oh […]
» Read moreWhile my parents were here, we wanted to be sure that we all got the full California experience…..soooooo we went hunting for movie stars…. Ha! No, that’s not us at all. We don’t even know who any of the current stars are, really. Nah, we figured a more authentic California experience would be if we…….all got Marijuana prescription cards….NOOOOOO just KIDDING!!! We took our guests WHALE watching, of course!!! You didn’t really believe me, did you? I got that prescription idea […]
» Read moreTo kick off Alan’s big week of vacation time, we’re enjoying a big, fat staycation. First stop: Point Lobos State Park. I took such a ridiculous amount of pictures that I will have to split it into two posts. No surprise there, eh? There’s something extra exciting about seeing ocean waves crash into mountains of rocks!! Point Lobos is situated on the north end of Big Sur, and I cannot wait to explore Big Sur further this week!! Yeah, actually […]

We recently took a road trip to Georgia, and I had a great time snapping photos of beautiful old Georgia and Alabama homes. The South is a beautiful place. Believe it or not, we are not as backward down here as you may think. Having lived in places all over the country, from the west coast to the east coast, and several places in between, it amazes me the misconceptions people have of the South. I have loved every place […]
» Read moreIt has been a pleasure to see my little boys having a true “Alabama summer” this year. They’ve always spent a couple of weeks per summer here, but this year, when it’s all said and done, they will have spent one week shy of two full months!! The funny thing is that our version of an Alabama summer looks a whole lot different than what a “Yankee” may envision. Now I mean no ill-will towards our friends from other regions. […]

We visited Carmel by the Sea this week, and I am completely in awe at the state park we found there. This stunning state park is called Point Lobos, and if you have been, then you know. If you have not been, allow me to introduce you to my favorite state or national park in the entire U.S of A. Carmel by the Sea may be the ritziest area that I have ever visited. I’m used to walking through streets […]
