It’s Mama….Find Yourself and Do It On Purpose My Sweet Madison, One of the hardest things in this life we are called to do is to find our purpose and live it. God put us here for a reason but sometimes, that reason is not always clear. In fact, I would say for most people,…
Its Mama…. Writing Nonsense in a Journal The first journal I remember receiving was when I was about ten or eleven years old. It was light blue and had a key..a very important thing for a budding writer who had four siblings. I received it as a Christmas present the same year I received a…
It’s Mama……Empty Nesting In 10 more days, I will officially be an “empty nester”. And, while I am not even sure what that actually means…what I do know is that my nest will never be empty. The love I have for my babies will travel with them wherever they go.. And, I believe theirs for…
Its Mama……The Little Blue Dress Today was a fun day, Madison. You and I met at Fayette Mall in Lexington, KY at the crack of dawn and stayed until dusk…quite literally.

Its Mama…..I Gave You a Heart Rock All of my children were surprised by the rock that I gave them for Christmas. I am not the ordinary mom….a little to verbal…a little too sentimental…a little too direct at times. But I know something they don’t know I know that our lives are changing at a…
Its Mama….It’s a New Year Dear Children, Happy New Year 2022! New Year feels different this year. I am not sure if it is because this year truly made me and Ian “empty nesters” or if it is the realization that in eighty-six days, I will turn the big 60. I am not sure if…
It’s Mama……A Quiet Life Children, As we enter a new year of 2022, I think about individuals who have impacted me in a kind, loving, and positive way and often, it is your Uncle Jim who comes to mind. One of your Uncle Jim’s favorite passages is “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet…
