Life is what I call fun-stress right now, as my man and I are pulling together all the paperwork, cost estimates, and ideas that are needed to build a house! It is an exciting, extremely stressful undertaking. We have argued, walked away, hugged, laughed, cried, made decisions, then chucked them. We are just about to the point of digging the footer and we have started questioning our house plan again! As for...

Real Mom: Clothes

Photo by Thousand Hills Photography. Click on photo to visit their site. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Remember this post: Teenage Clothes, Cholesterol, and Christmas. I just read it again and remembered a conversation G and I had this week. It went something like this:. G brought me a barbie and asked, "Can you tie this? Referring to the halter neck ties. Me: "Yes." And after I tied it, "You know.mommy would never let you wear a dress like this.". G: "I know, because it's too pretty.". Light the Candles&#...

Real Mom: February 2014
http://transparentrealmom.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Photo by Thousand Hills Photography. Click on photo to visit their site. Friday, February 28, 2014. Thoughts from a hospital room:. Can someone tell me why, at any given time, I have at least three inspirational books going? And it will take me months to finish any of them! But give me fiction, a biography, or an autobiography, and I will neglect home, family, and sleep to finish it in a few days. Never mind, I just answered my question: THIS is why I usually just read inspirational. The fear is too grea...

Real Mom: Summer Thoughts
http://transparentrealmom.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-thoughts.html
Photo by Thousand Hills Photography. Click on photo to visit their site. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. My house has come undone. There is at least a load of dishes on my counters and in my sink, if not two. I would not even want to count the loads of laundry waiting to be washed. And there is more waiting to be folded, or ironed, then put away. The bathtub is grimy from the dirt of feet that have run bare in the summer grass. And covers and toys and books are strewn everywhere. And still, I love it. I think I ...

Photo by Thousand Hills Photography. Click on photo to visit their site. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Summer High of 70! It is 8 am and 66 degrees outside. I'm in the hammock with a sweater. The sun seems so bright and yet so soft. I love this weather! I am marveling over the garden this morning. It has certainly had some hurdles - tomato hornworms, squash bugs, vine borers, several unidentified pests, deer, and now raccoons - but God keeps sending a harvest! Links to this post. Monday, July 14, 2014. 1 c veg...

Real Mom: October 2014
http://transparentrealmom.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Photo by Thousand Hills Photography. Click on photo to visit their site. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Last night I got on here to finish up a post I started yesterday morning and I found myself just reading back through some old posts. I loved seeing the pix of the girls from two years ago, reading about the fun things they've done, and even reading about our struggles. Some of the posts had me in stitches. Others had me in tears. Real life here. I loved it so much, I'm re-posting now. But waking up in t...

Q tips & Tidbits: July 2011
http://qtipsandtidbits.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Q tips and Tidbits. Friday, July 1, 2011. Home is Where the Heart is, and Mine's in Tennessee. Over the past few months I have been somewhat MIA in the social networking world. After the big announcement I made in my last blog, I expected to document every exciting moment that occurred over those next few weeks. updating all of my "friends" on facebook and writing cutesy blogs about our moving progress. "Why? You might ask did I temporarily halt my plans? This is Amber's horribly taped box. Even Truett S...

Q tips & Tidbits: May 2011
http://qtipsandtidbits.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Q tips and Tidbits. Monday, May 23, 2011. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.". Ryan was offered a job at the new Murfreesboro building, and he gladly accepted! See that little dot that is labled Cookeville? Well, that is a hop and a skip away from our home town, and Murfreesboro is just a broad jump away! Its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”". God is so so good! I'll end on that note. :). The weather was...
