We’ve NEVER had our pictures taken professionally.  I was so excited about having the opportunity to have some family pictures taken now that Frankie is here with us.  If you live in the Greenville Spartanburg area you must check out Jeff Hall Photography.  He’s amazing! I don’t say I enjoyed the stress of trying to…

Generosity and Gratitude This past week…… An email to invite me over to look through some things for Frankie before a yard sale. An opportunity to write an article for a local magazine to share our story. A donation check from a local skate club ready to send off to Heartline in honor of Frankie. The…

You know it’s a bit of a busy spurt when your husbands suitcase remains spread out on the floor for some time and he lives out of it when he’s at home too.  The past few weeks have been slammed but in the midst of it all and even my very heavy post from last…

Do I even dare try and process this in blog world?  I”m feeling prompted to do so.  Maybe it will resonate with someone else too.  If you are rolling your eyes just skip this post.  I need to do this for me today. I’ve had my world a bit rocked this weekend.  Started out with…

We had a birthday debacle this month.  When Frankie came home we had some papers given to us that said his birthday was the 28th which is today.  I had always thought it was the 20th but figured I was wrong.  His HP papers stated differently.  So I flagged the date.  On March 19th we…

This morning was a tornado around here.  Nana wanted a picture of all the grand kids together and so we had an appointment at 10:20 for pictures.  She purchased the sweetest outfits for the kids.  My only job was to get them ready and out the door.  Not a very easy task.  I’m thankful there…
