Last night while I was tucking him in, #3 requested that we make a pound cake in the morning. I’m never one to turn down butter and sugar, so was happy to oblige this morning. It was nice to make the cake with him, as this past weekend he took it upon himself to make his own “pound cake” while read more
Good morning! I don’t usually ask you guys for anything-except, of course, to go buy cute stuff from our website. And I’d love for you to do that today! But this morning I’m making two requests, and so you know what you’re getting into, I’ll tell you up front. One involves a simple vote with no strings attached, and one read more
This past Thursday, Jay and I had the great privilege of seeing Les Miserables downtown at the Peace Center in celebration of my friend’s 30-something-ish birthday. A delightful, convivial dinner at Trattoria Giorgio, an intimate Italian restaurant in the heart of Greenville and across the street from the theater, preceded our viewing of the show-what I believe to be the read more
Last month, we went to our church to have our photo taken for the church directory. The last time we had this picture taken, The Eldest was about six months old, I had a bad case of too-short post-partum hair combined with post-partum pounds, and Jay had a mountain-man beard. If you looked at it today, you may or may read more
I had to change another tire yesterday. I was at the studio, boxing up your adorable gifts and wrapping and generally enjoying the brief reprieve from the boxes in my own house, when a customer came in and said “The sweet-daddy HOTessy out there has a flat.” Ok, so she didn’t actually say that about my minivan. But she did, read more
I know I mentioned these Angel Dear rattles a few weeks ago, and now they’re here, as promised! Yay! My mom always wraps the most beautiful packages, with elaborate bows, fresh, shiny paper, and pretty hang tags. These rattles are exactly the kind of thing she would attach to the outside of a present to give it that je nais read more
Good morning, friends! Hope everyone had a great weekend! It was lovely here in South Carolina-perfect weather for just about anything! Like moving boxes. Or furniture. Or tubs full of old Blue Book exams or barbies that you just can’t seem to get rid of. At any rate, if you were a baby this weekend and if you were outside, read more
I had a grand post planned, replete with photos of the old house matched up with a few of the new, but you know how these things go. As it so happens, all of the “before” photos are blanked out on the computer and won’t load, whereas every other album is showing up perfectly fine. I’m sure there’s a simple read more
Growing up, whenever my extended family would get together, we’d play this game where we’d try to determine what famous person would play us in the movie of our lives. That someone would actually find our lives interesting and worthy of a feature film is immaterial; we find our stories terribly interesting and funny and therefore definitely worthy of documentation, read more
We didn’t really have any big plans for the kids’ spring break this year-no surprise trips to Disney, no overnight extravaganzas to the Great Wolf Lodge. We did manage to get away for a few days in the middle of the week for a much-needed sojourn sur la plage, which was a welcome reprieve from the squalor in which we’re read more
Yesterday, April 4th, is a special day in our family as it’s both my Dad and Jay’s birthday. Two great men share a birthday, and though we weren’t together yesterday, we’ll all get together this weekend back in Greenville to celebrate. Happy Birthday, Jay! Happy Birthday, Dad! In other news, the Eldest is working diligently to wiggle out his read more

Friday Funnies: From the Archives.
Yall know I’m still unpacking and likely will be for the rest of my life, right? And you also know that I am physically incapable of throwing anything away, right? Occasionally my hoarding pays off, because I come across gems like this one. My cousin, Jeanne, and I used to play dress up all the time. Jeanne just had a read more »
