About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. I'm a Mississippi country girl transplanted to Grapevine, TX. I have been blessed with a great husband, and my kiddos, Aleck and Ella. When I'm not eating bon bons on the couch, I am my kid's room mom, PTA member, Sunday School teacher, taxi driver, amateur photographer and personal chef. When I'm not doing those things, I'm running a small jewelry business, 2nd Amendment Jewelry (www.2ndamendmentjewelry.com), that I started with my twin sister, Glenda. It's a crazy and busy life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. I am so thankful for all the blessings in my life!

Trip to Alabama






Aleck and I joined Tom on a business trip to Auburn, AL. Auburn is less than 2 hours from Oxford, where Tom's parents live, so we got to see Nana, Papaw, Aunt Joy, Aunt Cathy, Molly, Uncle Steve and Uncle Mike. Aleck discovered that Nana is an excellent cook. He would have nothing to do with baby food after he had a taste of her homemade potato soup.
Nana was in heaven when Aleck fell asleep because that is the only time he sits still long enough for anyone to hold him.
Since we didn't have a babysitter in Auburn, we took AJ to a really nice restaurant in Auburn to have dinner with Tom's business associate. When we walked into the restaurant, we realized that this was not the type of restaurant to which you take a 9 month old. Thankfully, AJ was on his best behavior and everybody loved him.
Aleck is now consistently taking 6 to 8 steps before plopping down. He climbed an entire flight of stairs twice. Of course, Tom was right behind him holding on.
