TToT/FTSF Mashup – For These Things We Are Thankful
It’s Sunday night and my link-up posts aren’t finished. I’ve spent the last several days alternating between wishing I could come up with something terrifically profound and hoping I just get something on the page and completely forgetting that I need to write the thing in the first place. It’s not that I don’t feel…

TToT – Best Day Ever and Bedtime
I don’t think I’ve ever posted a TToT quite this late in the weekend. I’ve been doing all the things this week and through the weekend and like this awesome camouflaged Rotten Cat, I’m pretty tired. I need to wrap it up and get some sleep. But I’m here and I’m doing it but it…

What I Have Learned from Experience
As we drive home in the afternoon, I often ask my daughter, “What did you learn in school today?” Lately, her answer is “the usual.” And so I have to prompt her a little to be more specific – what is “the usual”? “Oh, math and English and spelling…same as always.” “Well what kind of…

TToT – The One With All the Snow
I know, I know. Everyone is tired of hearing about the snow. Believe me – I am, too. We got a lot – our official local report is 32 inches, but my back porch says more like 36. Guess we fall in the “locally heavier amounts” area. This was taken around 1:30 PM… And here’s just…

Six Sentence Stories – Journey
She experienced so much on this trip, and wanted to share every beautiful detail with her family. She relived it all in stunning detail, allowing those in the room to share her unbelievable journey. She brought the pictures to life, adding precious bits of information photos can never truly capture.

TToT – The Never-Ending Cold
I still have a cold. I think this must be the cold from hell, brought on by the unbelievably inconsistent weather here – unseasonably mild, then sub-zero wind chills, then up into the 30s, then down to the teens, then up to nearly 60 degrees, then a plummet to the 20s. No wonder my head…

Six Sentence Stories – Change
“You’ve changed,” she said, her tone a mix of genuine surprise and certain confidence. The woman across from her smiled, confirming the sentiment. “The more time I spent with the person you were becoming, the more toxic this relationship became. Your words carved into my heart, leaving it bloody, raw, and a little less of itself than…

Why My Husband Isn’t Allowed to Go Grocery Shopping
My husband is no longer allowed to do the grocery shopping. It’s not because he isn’t willing. He never protests when we need a store run. And it’s not because he’s bad at it. In fact, in the two years he spent as the at-home guy, the Hub became very proficient at navigating the grocery…

TToT – I’m Back!
Did you miss me? I was a little surprised when I looked at my last TToT and realized that I skipped two weekends in a row. TToT is not something I skip. But I did say I was taking an Internet break during the holidays and apparently I was serious. I really did take a…

Calm and In Control
I swore I wasn’t going to do this. I was not going to write an end of the year wrap-up post, or a list of my favorite books, or favorite moments of the year. I was not going to make any New Year’s resolutions (aside from the perennial one I make to stop swearing) or post any…
