I have eaten my share of chocolate chip cookies. One of my earliest childhood memories is baking cookies with my Gran. I’ve really never met one I didn’t like. I consider myself a cookie connoisseur. With that said, this is the only recipe I ever use. It came from my dear friend and fellow cookieContinue reading “Recipe Card: Rozann’s Chocolate Chip Cookies”

Ebates…Yes, Its Legit
Most people have heard of Ebates, which is a website offering cash back when you shop online at certain (just about any) store. When someone first told me, I was sure there had to be a catch, like a fee of some sort. But, I am a year in and there are no catches. YouContinue reading “Ebates…Yes, Its Legit”
2016 Bucket List ✔️
In the midst of raising two babies, I was actually able to rack up a few bucket list checkmarks last year. ✔️Go to The River Walk in San Antonio. When I was a kid, every Christmas we would watch a recorded Lawrence Welk special on VHS that my Gran had. It was shot at theContinue reading “2016 Bucket List ✔️”
In Defense of Working Mamas
Today, I will return to work after about 10 weeks of maternity leave. There are a lot of things about this parenting thing I don’t know, but one thing I am sure of is that I am not meant to be a stay-at-home Mom. And that’s ok. Some people are, and that is a wonderful,Continue reading “In Defense of Working Mamas”
10 in ’17
I love New Years. The chance to reflect on the last 365 days, start fresh, set goals…it’s the best. This year, I have decided to set 10 little goals for myself. {Initially, I was going to do 17, but I have two little people to keep alive, so let’s be real!}. I have other thingsContinue reading “10 in ’17”
Word for 2016: Surprise
Oh, 2016. You were full of surprises. So when I sat down to write my traditional year end summery blog post, it was fairly easy to choose this year’s word. Our biggest and most wonderful Surprise came in February when we learned that LL would be joining our little family. As my friend Wade said,Continue reading “Word for 2016: Surprise “
Harper’s Birth Story
Here is the second Best of 2016 blog. This was originally posted on Figuring Out the Plot. I suppose Harper’s birth story really starts at our 36 week appointment where the nurse shockingly announced I was dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced. She was sure I’d have the baby by the next week. So,Continue reading “Harper’s Birth Story”
Christmas 2016
Christmas came and went in a whirlwind. BB was old enough to understand the idea of opening presents, so watching him do that was a riot. We decided to just put up a tree this year and skip the rest of the decorations. With two babies (way) under two, I just didn’t have the timeContinue reading “Christmas 2016”
The People in Rural America
This is out first in the Best of 2016 series. This post was originally published on Figuring Out the Plot and was subsequently published in several newspapers. It is my most-read post ever.

One of the Good Guys
Five years ago today, we lost my Uncle David. This blog post turned into me giving my first eulogy. Please say a little prayer for my Aunt Midge today. Time passes, but the pain of this day doesn’t get much easier. “To live in hearts you leave behind is not to die.” My Uncle DavidContinue reading “One of the Good Guys”
