Through the Lens Thursday: Flower

It’s unfortunate that this prompt came the first week of February. I haven’t seen a flower for months!

So, I made Ivy put a flower in her hair (she chose neon orange) and stand in the cold for a minute and a half while I took her picture.

Leading the Way #iPPP

The snow started while the kids ate breakfast, and continued while we drove to school. I took them inside, got them settled in the warm, lively building and shielded my ears and eyes as I walked back out to the car.

I sat with the warm air blowing at my feet […]

Project 365 (Week 52)

It’s been a very holiday week around here! Lots and lots of Christmas celebrating. Lots.

Dec 22

Sunday was Christmas at Nana and Papa’s house, with most of the relatives in Arkansas.

The Winter Running Doldrums

I received a shirt from Allied Shirts to review, but all opinions are my own.

Y’all, the winter blahs have set in. It’s cold (SO COLD). It’s dry, it’s sometimes snowy, sometimes windy.

Who’s idea was it to run a half marathon in January?!

Oh yeah. MINE.

But it’ll be fine, because it’s in Disney World, […]

Project 365 (Weeks 48-49)

So, I was really busy and tired this weekend and I didn’t get to posting last week’s Project 365. Here are both!

Nov. 24

Ivy had her second basketball game, and Henry, Essie, and I (along with my parents) were her cheering squad.

Nov. 25

It got cold for a while. Thank goodness for […]

Project 365 (Week 47)

If last week was nice and warm, this week was brutally cold. It made it hard to want to leave the house, you know?

Nov. 17

Ivy had her first basketball game. Then when the big three went to bed, and the one who still naps got into his sister’s lip gloss.

Nov. […]

Super Bowl Sunday Snippets

Did you know that you can will your iPod to play a certain band while it’s set to shuffle? Okay, that’s totally not true, but I did start thinking of a band I wanted to hear while I was running, and they played seven songs later. Coincidence?

What IS completely true […]

A (Snow) Day in the Life

5:07 am: The dog nudges me awake, wanting to go outside. I unwillingly get out of bed. When I open the door, my bleary eyes see that the rain from last night has now turned to a wall of white wind, and snow covers the ground. I go back upstairs to […]
