We love Auburn. It has always been a part of our family and I’m assuming it always will. It’s not just about football, but about the town, traditions, and fellowship. Neither of us went to school there, but Jonathan always wished he did. He was practical (full scholarship to UAH) and a good son. When […]

I started this blog post about 6 weeks ago. I knew I wanted to journal and document the process of this journey, but each time I’ve come here to update, the outline of this post changed. I purposefully did not know what I was getting into. I did not want fear to talk me out

A few years ago I posted these thoughts on FB. Since I’m trying to make sure I have my original thoughts in my own space, I wanted to share them again on my blog. I’ve thought long and hard about words of wisdom to share with my friends who have college kids starting this Fall.
Father’s Day is a complex mix of emotions for me, as it is for many of my friends. When this day arrives, I find myself reflecting on the past and feeling a blend of joy and sadness. During the first 11 years of my life, I was fortunate enough to have an incredible father who
There is nothing that fills a Moma’s heart with more joy than spending quality time with their children. This weekend, Kyndal had a quick trip home for Mother’s Day.

I see the posts of my Facebook friends posting about all their exhausting weekends. Tis the season of recitals, ballgames, birthday parties, concerts, and family outings. Many of you have multiple of these on the same day. It wasn’t long ago when our Saturdays mimicked the very posts I see today. What a gloriously exhausting

Fly Huntsville Ironically, no one is paying me to write this post, but I’m wondering why I didn’t ask that before I began typing this. On The last few trips we’ve taken, we’ve chosen to fly out of Huntsville for several reasons. I’ve had this conversation with so many people lately so I decided it
We had a few resorts suggested to us, but we chose The Islander. We only had 3 nights and The Islander does not have a nightly minimum. If you are planning a trip, I recommend starting with these three to see if you find a match. 1. The Islander We booked a king, ocean view

I’m not sure if an Empty Nester Moon is a real thing or not, but we decided if this new generation can create #babymoon, then our generation can create #emptynestermoon. Anyone who knows us knows we’ve lived as caregivers for the last 3 years. 6 years total counting the years of managing responsibilities under two roofs. A series of life events, and we find ourselves as empty nesters. This came the same month as our son’s wedding and we decided to make it a thing. One thing you’ll learn about us is when JB says “Book it”, I don’t let the grass grow under my feet. I had it all planned out, so all I needed was to “book it”.
