Teachers Are Quitting – A Final Lesson All Their Own

by Hannahupdated on February 28, 2022February 28, 2022Leave a Comment on Teachers Are Quitting – A Final Lesson All Their Own

Who was your Kindergarten teacher? 2nd grade? Middle school math? High school English? I bet you can tell me if you are 25. I bet you can tell me if you are 55, or 75, and every age in between. Teachers are heroes. Teachers change lives. Teachers go above and beyond. Teachers sacrifice their own …

Disney…A Little Bit Differently

by Hannahupdated on June 17, 2022February 26, 2022Leave a Comment on Disney…A Little Bit Differently

For many years, my oldest daughter has been ready for Disney. Her youngest sister was also ready and like most kids, when the Disney commercials come on with all the magic they want to leave that very minute to go there. For my middle daughter, though, this has never been the case. When those same …

Happy Birthday

I stay up working on assignments until 1 am and then try to fall asleep. At 2:30 a.m. my oldest daughter rushes into my room. “Mom,” she says, “it’s time to go.” I’m like, “What? No. It’s 2 in the morning.” She says, “No, mom, it’s time to go. We are going to be late …

Cousins Are Childhood Magic

by Hannahupdated on June 17, 2022January 29, 2022Leave a Comment on Cousins Are Childhood Magic

As I get older and life changes and I feel increasingly sentimental, my mind stops me sometimes in the middle of what I’m doing and gives me a slideshow of memories from my childhood. So many of them are filled with my cousins. Cousins are childhood magic. A Large Family When my granddaddy on my …

Diagnosis

Wispy brown hair always worn in a ponytail Eyes that sparkle  when you can catch them A tiny frame, now eight years old And though she be but little, she is fierce* 8 years to wonder 8 years to wait, to hope, to pray,  to admit it’s more than tantrums or terrible 2’s, to try …

Snow Cream

by Hannahupdated on March 7, 2022January 22, 2022Leave a Comment on Snow Cream

This is the easiest recipe ever and it’s true, there is a Southern fascination with snow cream. Why shouldn’t there be? We rarely get snow. Some will say skip the snow cream and eat regular ice cream instead but that’s so much less fun. Making snow cream is so simple your kids can chip in …

First Time Disney Dining

by Hannahupdated on June 17, 2022January 22, 2022Leave a Comment on First Time Disney Dining

My two favorite t-shirts that I saw at Disney were “Let’s Wear Matching Disney Shirts – Said No Guy Ever” and “I’m Going to Be Broke 2022.” We had no idea how expensive Disney would be. The food was no exception! We had a great time and I’m not complaining. We could just slightly feel …

This beautiful writing is done by guest contributor Dawn Patrice Garrett. I am honored to include her work and to count her as a friend and a mother I greatly admire. When Cody was young and Ty was still a baby, I very much thought Cody may – at some point – develop typically. I …

Park Pajamas

Today I tried to pay twice at Burger King. I was getting food for my parents and I literally paid at the first window and then tried to pay again at the second. I wasn’t being super nice. I just can’t think straight. I missed going to see Santa with my girls today but I’m …

Sometimes We Forget Our Blessings

by Hannahupdated on December 18, 2021December 18, 2021Leave a Comment on Sometimes We Forget Our Blessings

“What seems to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” Oscar Wilde A few weeks ago my oldest daughter had a piano and singing recital. She played Lost Boys and sang Say Something. We watched, we clapped, we snacked, we took pictures, and everyone had a great time. It wasn’t until the next day …
