SO SWEET
Way, way back when when I was a few feet shorter and a few years younger with buck teeth, pigtails and one teacher all day long, I had a friend who would choose a seat next to me every day in the big, noisy lunchroom and every day after I ate my peanut butter or [...]

YOU GO, GIRLS
Over the past two weeks, I have attended five birthday parties for five different beautiful women, each of whom I am lucky to have in my life. I didn’t make this card until one of the last parties but, honestly, I could have given it to more than one of these amazing ladies. Because each [...]
SWEET HEARTS
This past school year, I got to spend part of my Friday mornings with some pretty unforgettable third graders. Unforgettable because some of these kids have faced challenges that I may never actually be able to wrap my brain around. Most of them were born without many of the privileges that were somehow just handed [...]
ADVENTURES OF AN OVERSTUFFED PURSE
Yesterday my purse was snatched. Not only that, the dang purse-snatcher and her cohort rummaged through the contents of my personal belongings—right there in plain sight—even snacking on a supplement from my vitamin container.

It was sooooo not my typical weekend. Words could not sum up how much I enjoyed it, [...]

HOW TO GET INSPIRED. OR NOT.
Happy Monday, friends. I hope your weekend was great. It was another Friday/Saturday without R-kids for me and this weekend I had the urge to do a little more junk hunting (shocking, I know). But I was really only looking for one thing: inspiration. Should have been noooo problem. Usually when I’m walking around my secret junk [...]

I’VE GOT MAIL
Yesterday I got a real live piece of mail, and not the e-kind. With a stamp, and a hand-written address, and a personal message inside—from a person I actually know, and love. There are so many things I love about this—but first and foremost it’s got to be the touching and feeling of a piece [...]
