THRILLS {1} I participated in Trusty Chucks & Texas Lovebirds ' very first Copycat Linkup party last Thursday. And received a special, "thanks for being 1 of the first 5 to link up, so you get a $5 Starbucks e-card" email from them. Woot!

Hollllllerrr. How's that … Read more

THRILLS Thrill #1 My favorite twin, Tamera Mowry-Housley, had her baby on Monday! She's gonna be the best mama. Can't wait to see pics of the baby! Thrill #2 Are you kidding me, Starbucks?

I've realized how much I take for granted...one of… Read more

THRILLS Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart. - Psalm 32:11 Our town hosts a Halloween-themed family camping event each year in late-October. We planned to take Kendall and my nephew, Dominick, but the temp ended up below 50, so we decided against it. I would rather forego 2 months of shopping than sleep outside in the cold. :| Instead, we ended up creating our own indoor camping experience with our friends, Derrick, R… Read more
