That’s what my husband calls me. Tawanda. Remember Fried Green Tomatoes? When Kathy Bates goes berserk, repeatedly ramming her hoopty-mobile into the car of the pernicious youthful mocker who had cut her off in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly? (Or was it Winn-Dixie? I can’t keep my southern supermarkets straight.) Or when she decided […]
Write a post about How to Write A Fabulous Blog Post. The end. Now that I have that out of the way I’m going to get on to what I actually want to write about. It’s going to be a fabulous blog post. Or not. That was so mean. I’m sorry SEO people!! But go […]
We like to pronounce Yosemite as though we are making a Hooked on Phonics infomercial. Yo Semite. Yo. We went there, yo. Totally dude. Um… check out the butterfly. It’s been forever since we had been to Yosemite…. Since our honeymoon more than 15 years ago which is actually just shy of forever. Funny story that… […]
Who doesn’t love going to the fair and letting their hair down for a bit? I do. (Love going to the fair, that is.) Sure, you eat too much of all bad foods. You might find yourself inhaling the mingled smells of cow patties, axle grease, corn dogs, beer and cotton candy and wonder how […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the garden over the past several weeks. I have been a dirty, dirty woman. I am the kind of lady that goes out to just “check on” the garden and suddenly finds that she’s been outside for an hour and has now ruined her third pair of […]
Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a lovely couple. I brought my sweet hubby along as my assistant and second shooter. I also like to call him my beast of burden because photography equipment is heavy! We had a great time and really captured the joy and love between these two. The weather […]
I live in a neighborhood that would likely be passed over quickly by those who don’t know it. In fact, truth be told, there’s a chance they might even drive a little faster. I gotta keep it real, people. It’s no The Hamptons. No offense to any The Hamptons dwellers intended of course. I’m pretty […]
Fragments + Moments + Instagram = Instagraments. Not to be confused with Instagarments. I think Instagarments, close relatives to the paper napkin garments you are given at the Dr’s office, are what Adam and Eve whipped up for themselves after that those fateful bites. I decided to Instagram my day until my phone died. What follows […]
Spring has got to be my favorite season. I remember how my eyes would yearn for color by March back when we lived in Calgary. I think my eyes were seriously color deprived. Some days I just wanted to grab anything green or red or pink and try to absorb some of it into my […]
I really want to post about Blissdom and I will. I really will. (promise!) I will post a ton of pictures and spill my everlovin’ guts about the whole experience. But it was so big. So very big. Nothing else seemed to exist for those days outside of the Opryland Hotel. But for some reason […]
It had been so long. I can hardly remember our last family hike, something which we used to do quite often, especially when we lived in Calgary. Here we seem to have become so busy with all of life that hiking has sadly managed to slip way down on the list of possible things to […]
I was thinking back today on how many times we just up and decided to go to the mountains near Banff for a day out. I’m so thankful that for the several years God has put us in such gorgeous places that beautiful day trips were totally within the realm of possibility. I sometimes miss […]
