Juggling work, family & faith in the Hospitality State
So, I let the laundry get away from me. Again. Shocking, I know. It was to the point that I just despaired of ever getting it done. The thing is…most of that laundry wasn’t mine, and I really wanted help with it, you know? But, if I shrunk back in despair at the size of [...]
Today, I’m going to be really honest and share something embarrassing with you. All I can say is, “Judge not…lest ye be judged.” Okay? Anyway, here goes: This…. is what my plastic container cabinet looked like when I woke up this morning. A complete disaster. You know the kind, right? Cabinets that you have to [...]
Who says Mississippi never comes in first? Jackson was just named the #1 most challenging city to live with allergies in the spring. But, you knew that right? What you might not know is that All Free Clear can help you fight those allergies. Here’s how: “Millions of seasonal allergen pollen grains get trapped in [...]
Or at least mine is. These were roaming around our front yard earlier this week. Who needs a new lawn mower? This little guy visits on a regular basis: I’m trying to decide what to call him. We also see a lot of these: This one’s name is John. No, I’m not joking. I’ve spent [...]

The world is his canvas….or at least my house is. This is what he did the other day while I was feeding the babies: I knew he’d gotten too quiet. And, he’d found a permanent marker, too. Great. After a few days of thinking about it, I decided to try to clean it. Honestly, I [...]
Okay, when I received an email asking me if I wanted to be part of the Greased Lightening Strike Force, I had to respond and admit I’d never tried the product. I’d seen it in the supermarket with all the other cleaners, but I had never bought it. To be honest, I seldom try new [...]
Most days lately, if I want to feed my family something that doesn’t require a drive-thru, it needs to be quick and simple. With two babies in the house, I’m just not finding a whole lot of time for cooking, you know? These “pizza rolls” were quick, easy and really tasty. Here’s what you need: [...]
Have you had too many bugs around your Banana Bowl this summer? About a month ago those fruit flies were about to take over our kitchen! We’d never seen so many! My husband said, “It makes you think they’re coming in on the bananas; then hatching out!” Maybe they do? We don’t know. But they [...]
