I believe that in life, you have one true love. And that falling in love is a deep connection defined by more than the phrase "I Love You." I revealed the other day that I don't feel that I tell The Texan I love him enough, but he's my one true love. Sure, there were boyfriends before him. Many of them, some long term, some short term. Some while in college, some with good jobs after ...
Menu Plan Monday – it’s back!
The last few months of not posting my Menu Plan Monday are killing our budget, and my waistline. Both of those things need to be trimmed, so I'm throwing myself back into the menu planning ring! A few weeks ago, I posted my menu planning tips and now I'm putting them into practice. Our local big chain grocery stores didn't have much in the way sale items this week, so the bulk of my shopping ...

Isn't that the perfect name for a first crush? I grew up in a very small town, population 2200. I ...
Sharing memories with Shutterfly {discounts!}
I love taking photos, and I love sharing them with others even more! The problem is that printing photos - whether at home or through a photo printing company - can be quite costly. One of my goals is to share more actual photos with our family members who live far away. There is nothing like touching an actual photograph. Shutterfly discounts! This weekend, I'll be ordering some prints ...
Saying I Love You
I find myself saying "I Love You" to The Texan and The Boy regularly. Several times a day in fact. The Texan will argue that I tell The Boy I love him more often. He may be right. As a mother, I want The Boy to know that I love him unconditionally. I reinforce this by letting him know several times a day. As he gets older, he'll probably be embarrassed and not tell me the same in return. But ...
