Have you ever stopped and thought about how you met the friends in your life? What brought you together? Are the friends in your life...around for a reason? A season? Or a lifetime? Have you kept in touch with all your friends? And if not, what happened? Did circumstances pull you apart? Or did "life" happen? 

Last Year's Thanksgiving

On this night before Thanksgiving, I'm thinking back to exactly one year ago when my mom, sister and I were all together. It was truly a special Thanksgiving, and one to be thankful for. It always makes me happy to be around my whole family for the holidays, and while we're not able to be together this year, I still have last year's memories.

Here are three signs it's Thanksgiving from last year, and a post about traditions and the day after Thanksgiving.

Happy turkey day!

Because You're Never Too Old or Too Young...

Happy Thanksgiving week!

Who Runs the World?

The power's in the socks! Just kidding.

Who runs the world? Girls! At least that's what we say when we recite our Girls on the Run chant at the end of each of our practices.

This morning our season of Heart and Sole culminated with a 5k around Turner Field in Atlanta. It was cold. It was early. But we're girls...we can handle anything especially while wearing our crazy and colorful socks!

Perfect Fall Saturday

First up.  Some quiet time with breakfast solo, and then some retail therapy. Ahhh.

Up next...fall fun at the corn maze. Even though I couldn't help but notice the "dried up" corn fields, the little ones didn't seem to mind.

What NOT to Say to a Pregnant Woman

2009 - Around thirty-something weeks of pregnancy

For the record, I think there's nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman. I think babies are a miracle from God, and a woman carrying one is just simply gorgeous. Yes...even with a waddle and swollen ankles!
