TToT – Late to the Party Edition

Happy (end of the) weekend, friends! I was really excited about the TToT 25th weekaversary party…and somehow I am here at the eleventh hour (oh, shocker) finishing up my list.  Hey, somebody has to be the last to arrive, right? I’m kind of drained and not feeling too hot right now, so this is going to be…

Oh What a Song!

I am working on another prompt for Mama Kat’s Thursday link-up, but it’s going to be late. Or I won’t finish it. We’ll see. In the meantime, I can absolutely think of an “old school” song that makes me happy. I have loved it my whole life. OK, well, since I was about five years…

Wordless Wednesday with Kidzilla

For your viewing pleasure and a snappy little Wednesday Earworm, we offer you Kidzilla’s current favorite song and video. We first saw this on Lizzi’s blog and Zilla has loved it ever since. You’ll smile and cry and laugh all at the same time. Have a great day!

A Double-Liebster, Please…

…and yes, I would like fries with that, thank you! I am honored. Twice-honored. In a moment of generosity (or perhaps insanity), Lizzi passed a Liebster award my way late last week. At first, I was confused. Mostly because I had absolutely no idea what it was. Shows you how knowledgeable I am about the…

Ten Things of Thankful – Not Much Exciting Edition

Isn’t that the worst title for a post? It’s like I’m inviting everyone not to read my post because there’s nothing going on. But really, that’s kind of what the week felt like. It took a long time to get this TToT post going. It’s not that I don’t have anything to be thankful for…I guess…

What My Name Does NOT Mean

OK, so I totally blew off Mama Kat’s weekly writing prompts because I simply could not get inspired. The best option for me this week was the prompt about the meaning of your name and whether it suits you. Every website, bookmark, or framed art I’ve ever seen that explains the meaning of my name…

Friday Favorites – Sort of Serious Edition

It has been a long and exhausting week, friends. At the moment, I feel like Atlas holding up the celestial spheres. Things to do, things to think about, places to be, worries weighing on my mind… In the midst of the chaos, though, I have a few favorite moments to share. Perhaps these are a bit…

Gator!

I was commenting on a blog post last week and related a tale of my childhood fear of the toilet. Yes, the toilet. See, I was afraid to use the bathroom in the dark because of the alligator. I was convinced that a horrible alligator lived in the sewer underneath my Grandparents’ house (no, there…

My Creature Comforts

Nothing like a Monday Listicles post on a Tuesday, right? I admit it. I am generally late or nearly late for just about everything. The Fab Hub says it’s because I grossly underestimate how long it takes to do, well, everything. I’m certain that all meals take thirty minutes or less and it takes fifteen…
