My Apologies for September.

September 30th, 2011

Hi friends, I have to apologize to you for this space being so still and quiet for the last two weeks. I’ve been busy with two events and a sixth birthday party and a, wait for it, blog redo! It’s going to be so pretty around here next week…I can’t wait for you to see [...]

September 21st, 2011

Go here to read what happens when one is inspired by a Bee Girl, a bit of pink tulle, and some very small cowboy boots. Thank you, Old Navy and your Kids & Baby Sale. Together, we’re going to make some little girl’s day.

Summer: Day 86. Some Mighty Fine Preparation.

September 15th, 2011

Maggie and Susan and I spent the day in preparation for Mighty Summit. Susan and I arrived in SF very late last night, and Maggie had us up and doing Tracy Anderson by 8 a.m. Not kidding. And oh how you wish that I had a photo of this. Oh yes you do. But I [...]

Summer: Day 84. Run a Mile in My Shoes.

September 13th, 2011

I’m training for a 5K with the Couch to 5K program. Which is awesome. But I’m already behind. I have no idea how I’m going to do this, or why I’m doing this, however I’m pressing on. I think I need new shoes. That would help.

September 12th, 2011

Harry and Hannah and Hailey spent their time at the auction selling lemonade to raise money for the Bastrop fire victims. They sold over $100 for kids right up the street. That’s a lot of lemonade. Well done, kids.

Summer: Day 82. The Five Stages of Twilight.

September 11th, 2011

It’s been a tough day. 10 years since the unimaginable happened. This morning, as we watched the names called, I sobbed, and Harry and Hannah wanted to watch Phineas & Ferb. We explained that no, they couldn’t watch that because we were watching something important. And I explained why today was important, and what happened, [...]

Summer: Day 81. The Auction.

September 10th, 2011

So this happened. It was interesting. And exhausting. I’d never been to a auction before…much less been the clerk of an auction. It was definitely a learning experience. We had about 100 people out. Have you been to an auction? There’s so interesting. Some things went for waaay more than I expected them to (a [...]

Summer: Day 80. The Set Up.

September 9th, 2011

So I’ve spent the last five days in those five barns. Five days with 10 other people who are smart and strong and know what they’re doing. These people run an auction company that is leading the charge. I’m mainly trying to stay out of their way and do what they say. And, as it [...]

September 9th, 2011
