It was a cold, rainy morning. I drove to the abandoned building with a sense of foreboding. Getting to my destination was necessary to complete my mission, but I couldn’t shake the ominous sense of dread. I pulled into the parking lot, took a deep breath and braced myself against the misty rain and made…
Halloween Cookies
As Halloween approaches, we have developed a few traditions around our home–decorations around the house (not too scary), purchasing new costumes (this decision is usually made around 4th of July), carving pumpkins (of course) and making sugar cookies. I know what you must be thinking–“sugar cookies are for Christmas time.” Don’t worry–…
Legacy
This past couple of weeks have been hard. I got the bad news that my Aunt Pat–who had been battling cancer–lost the fight. Grieving her loss has had me thinking a lot about my family. These are the Floyds (a good portion of them anyway): This is my family and my heritage. The…
In a galaxy far, far away…..
In a galaxy far, far away…deep within the recesses of Super Rockstar’s imagination–our two boys dream room came to life. If I haven’t told you before–I have an amazing husband. Super Rockstar not only is a great singer, but he is also an amazing husband and an incredible Daddy. Since becoming parents–I won’t lie–we have…
Changes
As an adult, I have learned that change is inevitable–but, I have to confess I still fight against it like a two year old throwing an epic tantrum. When I find something that I enjoy, I want it to last forever. Fall is one of those things I enjoy and it has finally arrived…
A Day in the Life of Barney
Meet Barney. He is 7 years old and is just about the cutest and sweetest thing we’ve ever encountered. His former owners were heartbroken to not get to keep him any more, but apparently Barney has gotten a bit more vocal this past year and their…
Spring Cleaning…er um…I mean–Late Summer Cleaning
Does anyone still do Spring Cleaning? I know I’m a little late to the party–seeing as spring ended long ago and summer is almost over. But, I was just wondering if this was still a “thing” we all do or is it just another something I feel compelled to do and then feel like a…
Was that over the top? I never can tell….
I don’t know if you can see it clearly in this picture, but above the USA imprint–the leather pouch says C 4. One letter. One number. It’s imprinted on a cute little leather pouch my son, Morgan, got to make at a school camp he went to earlier this week. It might has well have…
Sing it with me…”It’s the most wonderful time of the year”
Oh! The smells, the decorations, checking things off my list, the euphoria of new things, and the hope of what is to come! Is it Christmas? Noooo…It’s BETTER than Christmas! It’s BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! I know, I know. Some of you out there are weeping big ugly tears because your precious little bundle is…
From the Blooper Reel–A lost key
This past summer has been a strange one for us. Having a broken ankle definitely kept us home more than usual, but I was determined to not let it put a damper on fulfilling the summer bucket list the boys had made. On that list was camping. Thankfully, we heard of a family friendly camping…
