RIP Charlie Daniels
My childhood music influence was primarily from my mother’s eclectic 8-track collection; some Eagles, Elvis, Donny & Marie and of course, Kenny Rogers. Then, as a late 80s teenager that had a side job at the local Top 40 radio station, I was like totally focused on U2, Tiffany, INXS, Madonna, Bon Jovi with a little Phil Collins thrown in. Of course, this was mostly listened to on cassette tape in my Walkman while wearing my oversized Flashdance inspired one shoulder sweatshirt. I never ... View the Post
Letter to My High School Self
As the mom of teenagers, I often reflect on what I was doing at their age in an effort to try and figure out what in the world is going on around this joint; the things I went through, learned from, and the things I wish I would have done differently or appreciated more.

I am thankful for the One ... View the Post

For years, I talked about Glamping to my husband, blogger friends, people in the park, people in line at Walmart, anyone who would listen. My husband loved the idea and has talked it up for years in his state park circles. And, I was fortunate enough to have friends that came up to our park and did ... View the Post
Advice for Princess Kate
Welcome to mommyhood, Princess Kate! Another of Queen Elizabeth's great-grandchild is here, and it is a boy. I am not qualified to tell her what to do, I struggle along this path of motherhood daily. Sweet Mercy, I hope to make it through the teenage years. It is the hardest, yet most fulfilling job I have ever had. Some days I want to quit. Some days I look at our miracles and my stomach flutters with pure joy. But, if Kate and I were hanging out, sipping a spot of tea. Here is what I ... View the Post
